Nicki Minaj Got Extremely Salty On Twitter After Her Album Debuted At #2 On Billboard
Nicki Minaj has been having a real go of it recently. She’s been in trouble for rapping on a track with a convicted child molester, she’s been slapping at rappers left and right, oh, and we learned that she almost killed her ex-boyfriend Safaree one time. So she’s been doing her regular thing, living her life, you know: the usual. Well, after the release of her new album Queen you’d think Nicki would take some time off and reap the benefits of her hard work. She sort of did that, if that’s the same as getting mad salty on Twitter because her album was #2, instead of #1.
Travis Scott’s Astroworld spent its second week at #1 on the Billboard 200, beating out Queen which debuted at #2. Travis sold 205, 00 units with 78,000 being traditional sales (for all us 90s kids that means CDs, how archaic). Queen sold 185,000 and also had 78,000 in traditional sales. After seeing these numbers Nicki burst into flames, picked up her phone and started tweeting.
Nicki went in on Travis, and Spotify, and also Drake for some reason, and called them all out for the criminal conspiracy which sole purpose is to keep Nicki Minaj down. She claimed Travis cheated by using Kylie Jenner to sell “season pass” bundles which hinted guests would get to meet Kylie and Stormi at the shows. Unfortunately for Nicki she didn’t knock up a horribly vacuous celebrity with millions of followers and thus cannot piggy-back off their fame to sell more albums. Sorry girl! Maybe next time. Here are the tweets:
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

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.

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.

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

This is a sad display if I’ve ever seen one. Why is Nicki so pressed about not being #1 if she’s literally exposing how it means nothing authentic? She should just chill with her Chanel bags, sip some Moscato and relax. Instead she out here acting all kinds of salty on the internet. She needs to change the lyrics to Chun-Li: “Ay yo I been salt, and it’s Trav’s fault; Plates say Bitter, I’m on Twitter.”
