Nicki Minaj Claims Female Rappers Are Being Paid By Labels To Diss Her

Nicki Minaj makes a controversial statement over being dissed by new artists.

Following the release of her new single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” Nicki Minaj made an appearance at Stationhead listening event with Rah Ali. During the conversation, Minaj claimed that the new generation artists are being paid by labels for dissing her on social media.

“As you rap and you write, you get better. And you get better every day,” she said. “But I think the thing is now, because of the… microwaveability of TikTok artists getting deals and Instagram people getting likes or Twitter people…girls’ labels and management companies paying for viral tweets and paying for Nicki diss tweets and all that.”

“It’s kind of like, if I don’t remind them that we’re actually here to rap, who will?” she continued. “And then, on top of that, don’t ever put me in the same muthafu**in’ sentence. Don’t use my name for any examples. You have to write your verses, period. And I say that with love because I think that now maybe people are feeling pressure of having to, I don’t know, do things so fast.”

While talking about her latest drop, Nicki revealed that it is not for her next studio album. “‘Red Ruby,’ I dropped it as a itty-bitty just something,” she said. “‘Cause I know it’s gon’ go off on tour, it’s gon’ go off on y’all. It’s just rapping. But the album, obviously, I have to drop my official single for the album. ‘Red Ruby’s’ not the official single for the album.”

It’s not evident who Nicki was specifically alluding to. However, there was a heated altercation on Twitter between her and Latto last year after the Grammys’ controversial move to withdraw “Super Freaky Girl” from the rap genre.
