As advertised and promised during her acceptance speech for “Best Hip-Hop” at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards, Nicki Minaj brought the smoke and aired out Travis Scott on her Beats1 Queen Radio Show.
Last night while accepting her Moonman she said, “tune into Queen radio so you can know who the Hoe N***a of the Day is going to.” Well, she kept her promise by awarding her newest nemesis Travis Scott the “Hoe N***a of the Week.”
“Travis Scott wins ‘Ho Ni**a of the Week’ by a landslide,” said Nicki. “Travis Scott is out here selling fucking clothes and got ya’ll thinking he’s selling music.”
She clearly stated that she doesn’t agree with merch sales counting as album sales and said that’s why her recently-released ‘Queen’ album didn’t debut at No. 1. Going on she explained how Travis inflated his second week sales by selling “season pass” tour bundles and having is girl Kylie Jenner post on Instagram that she would be there with their daughter Stormi.
“Travis Scott on Thursday, when he realized the Queen was about to have the No. 1 album in America, he and his label decided to have Kylie and baby Stormi put up a tour pass,” she said. “He had her go and post and say, ‘Me and Stormi can’t wait to see ya’ll!’ How are you selling something that does not have anything to do with your album, but it’s being counted on Billboard as album sales?”
Nicki went on by calling him “Auto-tune man” and saying, “But what we not gon’ do is have this Auto-Tune man comin’ up here selling fuckin’ sweaters and tellin’ ya’ll he sold half-a-million fucking albums ’cause he didn’t. And there’s a lot of rappers behind the scenes that wanna talk about it and they’re scared. But sweetheart, I’m not scared.”
Scott’s ‘ASTROWORLD’ album topped the Billboard 200 chart for a second week straight after selling 205,000 equivalent album units. Nicki’s ‘Queen’ debuted at No. 2 with 185,000 units, 78,000 traditional sales.
The smoke didn’t stop there as she mentioned an unnamed male rapper that secretly hates on her.
“There’s a male rapper in the industry who’s a big secret hater. Very jealous person,” she said.
Stay tuned for more smoke as it unfolds and in the words of Funkmaster Flex, “I’m just bobbing my head to the beat.”
