Young Money’s Nicki Minaj isn’t taking any time off social media. The hip-hop diva has continued to feed the Internet with a huge Harriet Tubman proclamation.
Nicki hopped on Twitter Monday (August 20) and likened herself to fellow historic queens like the iconic American abolitionist and political activist.
Nahhhhh…..wait, really tho? LOL. 📸 @NICKIMINAJ pic.twitter.com/P4xa95ySXJ

A few hours ago, radio veteran Charlamagne Tha God ripped Nicki by labeling her “Donkey of the Day” for blaming multiple people for her Queen album’s retail performance.
“I’m just here to tell Nicki, no Travis does not know he doesn’t have the number one album in the country, because we’re all looking at the same numbers you are. He has the number one album in the country, you have the number two album in the country. … Nothing you’re doing is Queen-like. Okay, let’s just say all these people [from Travis to Spotify] are to blame for you having the number two album in the country. Well, who’s to blame for you having the number two album in 2015? Nicki’s last album The Pinkprint debuted at number two.” (“The Breakfast Club”)

Last night, Travis Scott‘s protégé Smokepurpp publicly went at Nicki for singling his boss out over having reality TV star girlfriend Kylie Jenner‘s support to promote his Astroworld album.
“Nicki Minaj, you bugging. You bugging by saying Travis Scott beat you because he’s selling clothes and stuff. It’s called marketing, my n*gga. You’re doing the most first week, don’t hate on the next man and you said the Billboard was wrong – blah, blah, blah. You probably got it delayed yourself and it’s no disrespect. I f*ck with you. I f*ck with your music. You go crazy but numbers do not lie. Numbers don’t lie. With that being said, Cactus Jack.”

Yesterday, Nicki unloaded a flood of tweets getting at Scott, Kylie and Spotify for making her miss a chart-topping debut.
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. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries ♥️ pic.twitter.com/CiYEuczgm3

My first album sold 400K. No one is doing that with debut albums now. So I’m so grateful. I lost out on 12 hours of sales and did 200K in one week after I was supposedly cancelled. I bit my tongue last #QueenRadio but I won’t On Tuesday. I love you guys so much

I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. lol. Im actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans.

I looked at the numbers the Carters, Kanye, Nas, etc recently did. 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!

Spotify put drake’s face on every playlist but told me they’d have to teach me a lesson for playing my music 10 mins early on #QueenRadio. Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time.
— Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) August 19, 2018
Spotify had to teach me a lesson but rewarded the man who has had an Apple radio show the longest; inadvertently helping the Apple platform the most. Oh I can’t wait for #QueenRadio on Tuesday. They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this. #Queen

My music went up on Apple so I played it. I assumed it was on Spotify & Tidal at the same time. Spotify said that Apple tweeted fans advising #Queen was up & therefore they had to teach me a lesson. But PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!!!

My label didn’t want to defend me for fear of Spotify trying to teach Ariana a “lesson” too! https://t.co/1dAdbcbWVd

Do you know how many women get systematically blackballed out of their positions in an office building & can’t fight back?????
