Nicki Takes No Prisoners On Latest Rant
It's been a wild week for Nicki Minaj. Starting by blaming Travis Scott & co, including baby Stormi for not being No. 1 on the charts and then turning her attention to Spotify before winning best hip-hop video at the VMAs, I'm not really sure where we stand with Nicki.
Now, she has taken to her Radio show on Beats 1 to talk more about the issue.
“What we’re not gonna do is have that Auto-Tune man selling fucking sweaters telling you he sold half a million albums, because he fucking didn’t,” Minaj said during the latest episode of 'Queen Radio' on Beats1. “You stupid fuck. You got your fucking homeboy talking for you and you got your girlfriend selling tour passes. Stop it. Knock it the fuck off.” She then gave Travis Scott her own award for the “Hoe N*gga of the Week.”
“Having said that, none of this is some serious anger shit. No—we are in a time right now where black music is prospering. And I am one of the people who, I’m so excited to see where rap has come from and where we are. But right is right and wrong is wrong.”
“Ya’ll gonna say I’m comparing myself to Harriet Tubman. Yes I am going to compare myself to strong black queens."
“I love Kylie, I love Kim. I actually love all of them. I know that you guys are saying me and Baby Stormi have beef [laughs]. Yes we do. Now, this is what the fuck is happening today. Me against baby Stormi. We have this rivalry now.”
At the VMAs red carpet, Nicki and Kylie actually went to great lengths to avoid each other after being separated in seating.
In case you weren't up to date, she is mad because Scott's numbers weren't purely based on sales. She tweeted about it, saying:
“Travis sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. I spoke to him. He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week … Travis sold 200K in his first week of clothes alone. I spoke to him last night & he said he’s been selling clothes b4 the music. Billboard says they’ll change the rules cuz of this, so it should be changed now!”
