NICKI MINAJ has been getting lots of flack over her pop-washed image and music, but this time NYC’s Hot 97 DJ PETER ROSENBERG took the insults a bit too far.
MINAJ, who was scheduled to headline the Hot 97 Summer Jam Concert last night, pulled out of her performance after ROSENBERG openly dissed her single “Starships” just hours before her set.
While hyping up fans for a performance by rappers A$AP ROCKY, KENDRICK LAMAR and SCHOOLBOY Q, ROSENBERG bolstered, “I know there’s some chicks here waiting to sing ‘Starships’ later, I’m not talking to y’all right now. F— that bullsh–. I’m here to talk about real hip-hop sh–.”
That comment didn’t sit well with Young Money commander-in-chief LIL WAYNE, who soon after tweeted, “Young Money ain’t doing Summer Jam.”
NICKI, who would’ve made history as the first female emcee to headline the festival, also took to Twitter to put the disrespect on blast.
“Wow. U n—az just f—ed up history. But the President has spoken. #YMCMB. I go above and beyond for my fans. But won’t ever go against wayne’s word. What he says, goes.”
She also took a jab at ROSENBERG’s credibility in urban radio by tweeting, “Not blak but on blak radio dissin blak women.”
ROSENBERG appeared on his morning show as scheduled today and stated he isn’t remorseful for his comments. #BOOM
Tell us, do you think NICKI was right to cancel her performance?
