- She’s expressed admiration for Drake despite taking the lead in this musical rivalry.
- Beyond the tracks, Minaj is vocal about industry dynamics, notably critiquing the NFL for overlooking Lil Wayne.
- Her words are strong, particularly towards JAY-Z, whom she blames for Wayne’s missed Super Bowl spotlight.
Nicki Minaj has reached a new milestone, breaking a longstanding Billboard record previously held by Drake. With her latest release, ‘Banned From NO’, she secured her 25th number one on the Billboard Rap Digital Sales chart, stepping ahead of Drake, who had 24 chart-toppers.
Despite this competitive edge, Minaj has nothing but praise for her former Young Money cohort, Drake. A fan pointed out her new record-holding status, to which Minaj replied on social media, showing her respect for the fellow rapper.
The track ‘Banned From NO’ is more than just a musical success; it’s Minaj’s platform to critique the NFL for not selecting Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans. Minaj has been vocal in her disapproval of the NFL’s choice, taking aim particularly at JAY-Z, who she views as instrumental in that decision.
Minaj’s lyrics don’t mince words, directing sharp comments at JAY-Z, accusing him of business ties that, in her view, influence these high-profile decisions. She suggests his actions stem from a grudge against key figures like herself, Drake, and Birdman, which she believes led to Wayne’s exclusion.
Lil Wayne himself spoke candidly about his disappointment in not being chosen for the Super Bowl. He expressed profound hurt over the missed opportunity, feeling it was a letdown in his own city, reflecting on how his fans supported him despite the setback.
Nicki Minaj continues to make waves, both on the charts and within the industry dynamics she unapologetically addresses.
