Young Money‘s Nicki Minaj is ready to lace up some boxing gloves and knock out fashion designer Giuseppe Zanotti. The hip-hop diva went to social media Friday (February 3) to demand some respect placed on her name.
Nicki jumped on Twitter and ripped Giuseppe for not financially looking after her despite relying on her brand to push shoes.
According to reports, the luxury shoe designer has over 20 pairs related to the name “Nicki.”
The brand has a collection of sneakers called “Nicki” – in total, there are 23 styles using her name – which at one time Minaj liked enough to pose wearing them for a Cosmopolitan shoot and include in the lyrics to her song “Pound the Alarm” (“Giuseppe Zanotti, my own sneaker.”) But, according to Minaj, when she reached out to the brand about a possible collaboration (as he has done recently with Jennifer Lopez and Zayn Malik), the designer declined to discuss the possibility. And she’s not here for that. (People)
