New York rapper Nicki Minaj is geeking out over her own music. The hip-hop diva has urged fans to start up a “Good Form” twerk challenge.
Nicki hopped on Instagram last night (October 26) to hype up her newest tunes.
Outside of pushing the new tunes, Nicki is currently dealing with legal pressure from music veteran Tracy Chapman.
Chapman says in June 2018, Minaj and her reps made multiple requests to license “Baby Can I Hold You” and all requests were rejected. So imagine Tracy’s surprise when “Sorry” came out in August 2018 … it was supposed to be featured on Nicki’s album, “Queen.” Tracy says her song comprises half of the lyrics and vocal melody of “Sorry.” (TMZ)
Despite pulling the song from her Queen album, Nicki’s unapproved version still went viral.
According to the suit, Funkmaster Flex played “Sorry” on Hot 97 and lots of Internet users picked up the song and sent it around. It was also played on “The Breakfast Club” with Charlamagne Tha God. The day the track was played, Nicki tweeted, “Sis said no,” which, according to the lawsuit, refers to Chapman’s denial to her request to use “Baby Can I Hold You.” (TMZ)
In August, speculation emerged about Nicki and Nas’ record existing.
