Cash Money’s Birdman is out here putting respect on his protégé’s name. The hip-hop mogul recently updated fans on Nicki Minaj‘s current grind and why Onika is the greatest female rapper of all time.
In a new interview, Birdman blamed Minaj’s social media hiatus on putting steady work into a long-awaited studio album.
“Nicki’s been working. That’s all I can say. She’s been working and she’s focused. I always say she’s the best ever, best female ever in hip-hop, hands down, facts. There’s no getting around it. I just think she’s focusing on her new project. … There’s levels to this sh*t. Very much levels to this sh*t. She’s an elite. Sometimes, you can put Nicki in a room with males on a rap, but if you put her on females, it’s nothing. She’s a monster in her own race. She’s just a special talent. I’m blessed to have her a part of my team. She’s a special talent I’ve never heard before.” (Rap-Up)
Earlier this month, reports surfaced about Minaj possibly falling back on the spotlight to focus on new tunes.
Sources close to Nicki tell us … she decided to ditch social media at the end of 2017 to fully focus on her music, which is why she’s had no new posts since December 30. We’re told she feels way more creative without the distractions of Instagram and Twitter. Our sources say Minaj has been working night and day in the studio with major producers and rappers like Lil Wayne, Mack Maine and other Young Money acts … and she’s going to continue to leave social media alone until the album’s complete.

A few weeks ago, comedian Lil Duval had his own theory about why Nicki had disappeared from social media.
