Nicki Minaj Loses Her Mind On Twitter Over “Queen” Missing #1 On Billboard!
I'm honestly still re-reading Nicki's tweets and eating popcorn while doing so. This is so good, although it actually is sad.
Billboard announced a few hours ago the album sales in America for the last week and Nicki Minaj new album “Queen” sold missed the #1! Travis Scott's “Astroworld” repeats at the top spot having a total of 205,000 copies (physical, digital sales and streams combined) while Nicki only sold 185,000 with “Queen”. But Nicki is REJECTING these Billboard positions and she just declared herself the true artist with the number one album in America this week. AHHHHH! What a mess!
Please read the tweets below but get some snacks first:
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 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!

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

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?????

So she's mad about Travis’ last minute bundle deal that pushed an extra 50k in his favor to secure a consecutive number one. But Nicki also had time to call out Kylie Jenner, her label and Spotify. And she also kind of put Ariana Grande in an awkward situation.
OMG! Can someone in Nicki's team please get her off the phone? She's honestly embarrassing herself with this child-like tantrum. Girl, you lost. Period.
And didn’t you say you didn't care about the NUMBERS anyway?
I'm done. Bye.
