Young Money’s Nicki Minaj has stepped up to share her thoughts on Cash Money boss Birdman coming forward to speak out on various YMCMB rumors this week.
After applauding radio host Angie Martinez for getting Birdman to chirp, Nicki credited the music mogul for being her teacher on Twitter Wednesday (July 29).
In his two-part interview, Birdman admitted he had no issues with Minja’s mentor, Lil Wayne.
“I think media makes it worst than it really is,” Birdman said after revealing he still keeps in contact with Wayne. “We don’t scream at each other, I’m a man. … That’s my son, I respect him as my son. There’s no day where he’s speaking to me in a disrespectful manner. I don’t come from that cloth and I’m not going to speak to him in that cloth. That’s why I say he’s a man. He’s 30-plus. I swear on my kids – I’ll give them anything they think they might want. Cars. Jewelry. Houses. … I’m not going to let him go [off Cash Money] but if he wants to go, I’m going to respect his call. If he says he wants to go, I’m not going to stand in his way.” (Power 105.1)
Last winter, Cash Money rapper Nicki Minaj said the war between mentor Lil Wayne and Baby had a lot to do with music coming out.
“Cash Money is blessed, thank you for asking. We are a family and just like in families, we have our moments. But, you know what, I’ve gotten so much closer to Wayne lately. Wayne is his own person. He’s a businessman and whatever decision Wayne makes, I would never in my life speak against it publicly, even if I didn’t agree. So my thing is, and Baby has always been one of my best friends in the game. They love each other and it’s family. It’ll never go to another level. Everybody loves to hype things up but artists are emotional. We are emotional when it comes to our projects and when it comes to our fans and what our fans want and when they want it and sometimes that causes us to, you know, act emotional.” (Power 106 FM)
Despite the headline-generating dispute, Minaj previously said she did not see their beef exploding the way it did.
“I knew that there was something going on, but I didn’t know Wayne was so mad about that. I think that it may be some other stuff. They just need to figure it out.” (CRWN)
