Also, when Hosting a Beats 1 show, Nicki came up with a series of awards That she presented without forgetting to include Travis Scott as the "Ho Nigga of the week" stating that he had won by a "fucking landslide".
“Travis Scott is out here selling fucking clothes, and he got y’all thinking he’s selling fucking music. _Sit your stupid ass down!” - She tweeted
“When [Scott] realized that Queen was about to [be] the Number One album in America, he and his label decided to have Kylie and baby Stormi put up a tour pass … He had her post and say, - ‘Hey, me and Stormi can’t wait to see y’all.’ - How are you selling something that does not have anything to do with your album but it is being counted on Billboard as album sales?”
Moreover, Nicki didn't just focus all her frustration on Travis Scott, She also, went after Billboard's Rules and even Claimed that Spotify isn't giving her all the credit she deserves.
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 … They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this.”
Spotify issued a statement but did not respond directly to Minaj’s accusations. “Spotify supported Nicki Minaj with a Times Square billboard, a host of the largest playlists, New Music Friday and the new music release shelf,” a representative for the streaming service said. “Her song ‘Bed’ actually saw an increase based on the promotions put behind the campaign. The company continues to be big fans of Nicki.”
On Top Of that Nicki mentioned her own struggle with the music industry being sexist to the struggle of women around the world. “Do you know how many women get systematically blackballed out of their positions in an office building & can’t fight back?” she wrote. But after stirring the pot, she backed away, writing that her tweets were “sarcasm/dry humor.”
Despite the heated words, Minaj says it's all in good humor. "Please understand this is entertainment," she said, telling people not to get "any of your panties in a bunch."
Well, we all know that even though she claims that "it's all good humor", there is a certain amount of frustration that she wanted to manifest publicly. Also, many other rappers like for instance Smokepurpp think That this whole scene orchestrated by Nicki was a bit "Corny"
