So if you haven’t heard, the bossman Weezy pulled the plug on Nicki’s Summer Jam performance in NY earlier today. Here’s the comments that pissed the YMCMB team off.

“I see the real Hip-Hop heads sprinkled in here. I see them. I know there are some chicks here waiting to sing ‘Starships’ later, I’m not talking to y’all right now. Fuck that bullshit. I’m here to talk about real hip-hop shit. People here to see A$AP Rocky today. People here to see ScHoolboy Q on this stage. That’s the shit I represent.”

How do ya’ll feel about this? Was Peter Rosenberg out of line? Or Was Nicki being sensitive?

JANICE UPDATE: So apparently Funk Flex wasn’t happy about Ms. Nicki backing out. He clearly stated the following on-air — “We ain’t fuckin with commercial rappers no more, if you lost the fuckin streets, its your fault! If you don’t go gold, it’s your fault! I’m dedicated to tearing you down! Fuck with me! We gon show you mama, you think you didn’t sell any records this time?” (via DDot)

Oh? Someone’s not happy. In my opinion, the YMCMB team could have handled the situation a little more professional rather than having the headliner back out but I guess they wanted to “make a statement.” Barbz fans were disappointed but on the upside, music fans we’re not. Nas and Lauryn Hill were a pretty nice replacement.
