Young Money’s Nicki Minaj is out here flexing her popularity. The hip-hop diva has hit up social media to let fans know she did much more than slay at this week’s MTV Video Music Awards show.
Last night, Nicki went to Instagram and announced having the most viewed VMAs performance.

On Tuesday, Nicki Minaj exploded on overnight rap rival Travis Scott during her Apple Music Queen Radio broadcast over an album sales dispute.
“What we’re not gonna do is have that Auto-Tune man selling f*cking sweaters telling you he sold half a million albums, because he f*cking didn’t. You stupid f*ck. You got your f*cking homeboy talking for you and you got your girlfriend selling tour passes. Stop it. Knock it the f*ck off. … When [Travis] comes along and sells a tour pass that has nothing to do with his f*cking music and says he’s sold more than Kanye West and Nas—no you f*cking didn’t, keep it the f*ck real. I know I’m that b*tch, I know I’m number one.” (Pitchfork)
At Monday night’s MTV Video Music Awards show, Scott appeared to tell Nicki and any doubters he has the top album in the country.
Though it seemed like Scott did not want to get involved with a trivial beef, he did appear to take a shot at Minaj during his performance at the show. Scott’s declaration that he has the top charting album seems to contradict Minaj’s claim that she spoke to him, and he “knows” he does not have the top album. (Floor 8)
