Houston rapper Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner are going to have a perfect opportunity to find out if everyone’s favorite Barbie really has issues with them. New reports claim the couple are set to sit behind Nicki Minaj at tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards show.
According to reports, Nicki won’t have much space to hide when she sits down at this evening’s ceremony.
Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott will have a direct shot at Nicki Minaj during the VMAs … this after Nicki blasted them for cheating her out of the top spot on the Billboard chart. The seating chart for Monday night’s VMAs plays like some high school drama. Roughly 24 hours after Nicki went nuclear on Travis and Kylie, they’ll be sitting within inches of each other at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. (TMZ)
Last night, Scott’s protégé Smokepurpp publicly went at Nicki for singling Cactus Jack out over having 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 for having Kylie’s support in promoting his chart-topping LP.
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?????

People are calling me thinking I’m huffing & puffing. Omg y’all this is sarcasm/dry humor. Yikes. I’m having the most iconNIC time. Come let me kiss you. 😩😘😘😘 Who’s coming to the secret show? When people call me & hear me crackin up laughing they seem so puzzled. Loosen up 😅

Onika’s fans also lit up social media to support her strong words.
I believe somebody needed to speak on the fucked up shit and behind the scenes shit that majority of people will never know… people don't realize how fucked up shit really is, I am 100% happy Nicki is speaking the truth and setting shit straight

I’m so glad Nicki is speaking up about this. Nobody deserves to suffer in silence, no matter how BIG they are. Everyone has a voice

This is beyond unfair Onika. I can’t wait to hear the full story on Tuesday. I’m disgusted😞

I’m so disgusted. Your music puts money in their pockets and they treat you like that? Wow. The industry is fucked up. https://t.co/2U42GIGAWv
