Responsible for the now infamous ‘Come Up DVDs‘, New York native Big Fendi is undoubtedly the man responsible for introducing Nicki Minaj to Rap society in 2007.
However, after her meteoric rise to fame upon signing to Young Money, Fendi- much to his contempt- became a far and distant memory in the Rapper’s well documented rags to riches fairytale.
Now, he is claiming she owes him, for ‘making her who she is today’.
His rant below…
While there is no denying his impact on Minaj’s career, he must be smoking something severe if he thinks he is responsible for her success.
For, if he was as smart as he is claiming to be, why is he yet to replicate Nicki’s feats with any of the other acts he manages- like Lil Kim, to name just one.
Here’s to hoping Fendi will learn to get over his obsession with Minaj and pull himself out of the ‘crabs in a bucket’ mind set so many like him are plagued by.
Because if he doesn’t, he’ll spend the rest of his life envying a girl who doesn’t even have the time to acknowledge his existence.
And that, would be a crying shame.

Funny cause Fendi never was Lil Kim’s manager
These m************ always come out of the hole sooner or later. did she sign a paper with you?
Nicki Minaj don’t care about nobody but her-self.She fired 3 managers before she got big.She is full of her-self.
erm sean, even noel admits fendi used to manage kim, just go on his timeline and scroll down and youll see him mention it.
Nicki has no loyalty.
@WANNAMINAJ You follow Lil Kim’s assistant on twitter and you a Nicki fan.LOL.By the way he never said that.
well if nicki has no loyalty, kim has TOO MUCH loyalty, lying in court for dudes she probably hasnt seen since she was let out of jail. Dumb ass b**** she’ll always be!
Nicki is so fake, constantly sh*tting up people who open doors for her.Am I the only one seeing a pattern here.
TGJ is so correct on Fendi’s dumb hatin ass!!
She Thanked Him In The Album Credits, Anything He Said Thereafter Is Null & Void.
FENDI SIT DOWN COZ SHE GAVE THANKS ON THE ALBUM AS YOU STATED… YOU DON’T NEED NO DAMN MONEY. YOU SUPPOSEDLY “OWNED” HER THEN, WHERE WERE YOU WHEN SHE “SUPPOSEDLY” LEFT TO REACH OUT WAYNE? #BROKE
Keisha, we know that you and Noel are one and the same, I can smell your fishy p**** from here.
Once again TGJ is too far up nicki’s ass
DEAD at him thinking he is responsible for her carrer– next the person that hired her at red lobster is going to make claims to her career, s*** lemme make my video claiming im responsible– im the one that bought her damn cd….CH–
Yall DUMB asses, clearly know s*** about the game and how s*** is run. Yall print dumb surface asS stories and it’s deeper than rap. LITERALLY.
@SLAYYYYYY Fendi was the one that gave her mixtape to Wayne and was with her since the begging.Her deserves recognition and money.
Fendi wants some of that Nicki juice that everyone is reaching for. As soon as an artiste makes it big then others come out of the woodwork with their hands outstretched. By the way why his teeth so yellow.
She don’t have to pay him. Esp after he started affiliating with kim on black friday just because he was jealous nicki was moving on to bigger and better things.
@ I’ma have to send her to her maker
Nicki became famous before Fendi & Kim hook up for Black Friday. Nicki should have been hook him up with money or whatever
OoooMmmmmGgggg
the irony that @sam just posted!!!! this is not nicki related but sam just said why would fendi go around envying a girl who doesnt have the time of day to acknowledge his existence!!!!
this situation applys to @sam so much but the big difference is fendi actually knew and was affiliated with nicki were as sam probably has never even met rihanna!
so why spend all your time envying her????
i really hope sam sees this and notices that he needs to have several seats/_/_/_/_/
Nicki doesn’t have time for this website’s existence either, so I can’t help but wonder why you are all so far up her booty-padded ass that you can see what she’s planning for her next meal before she has the chance to consume it…
He’s right though. Who the f*ck is safaree. That n**** just came out of no where. I never seen him before. Not even when nicki was still underground.
Nicki Minaj is terrible; If I had a time machine and had a decision to either stop 9/11 or Nicki Minaj’s career, I’d choose to end her career.
o so now i kno who nicki talkin bout whn she say f** fendi wow he made her who she is.. its funny how people get rich n forget bout people they had holding them bak
Folks like him stay in the underground because they’re simple and amateurish. One thing I can say for Nicki is she’s a diamond in the rough in having natural instincts towards business and the mind-set to go with every opportunity.
Yeah…she should have given him money. Pfff. Where’s the contracts? Where’s the rights?
Simple folks stay simple.
She wasn’t in it to feed folks who’d never rise above 3 years later and she’s performing at the Superbowel…all Fendi did was help with a mixtape…see how far apart those two things are?
in one of her songs on her mixtape, ‘can anybody hear me’ she says, “tell fendi i’ll never forget him”…i never knew who she was talking about until now. And he cannot say that he made her who she is today because her image was a lot different back then.
@THOSE THAT CANNOT DO, STAN All Fendi did was help her with a mixtape?He put her on and got her in Young Money.Don’t down play the dudes contributions cause you a biased Nicki fan.
@Kevin
Yeah he helped her take another step up the ladder. Him and 2 other dudes and you don’t see Diddy having a public cry over her moving on. In the end it’s what Fendi produced from his artist, you can even read old interviews and see Nicki had eyes for Lil Wayne and as soon as Fendi opened that door Nicki strolled in.
Not saying the dudes done nothing but this display is pathetic, if the business was that good he’d still be her boss.
I can’t with this dramatic film music lol
I am a Major Nicki Minaj’s fan and I know Fendi help make her a star. Dude want to get paid like she is getting paid. Still, at the end of the day, it is not my problem. Peace!!!!
Nicki isnt loyal because she fired managers?? Wtf??? Evidently they wasn’t doin they jobs right so she kept shippin they ass off until she found the one that would get her in the spotlight…so you dumb ass jealous h*** need a reality check…business is buisness and we all know she’s a buisness woman…(sucess of stupid h**)that knws what she’s doing(again sucess if stupid h**) ….so sit there and ve mad because nicki is winning and “get it crackin likka bad back”..lol
BTW, this dude just want some mullah..lol..sit down pancho *waves off*
I am shocked by TGJ’s review…just shocked. Fendi wanting money is not my problem, so I don’t care about his rant, I don’t hold anything against him or against Nicki, but did you honestly have to talk so disrespectfully for someone that Nicki herself thanked in her album credits?? This interview stems from problems between Nicki / her team and Fendi, but you just had to jump out the window and start dissing him? 🙄 🙄
i can’t even go in on fendi because he help nicki,but wayne saw nicki on my space,on that come up dvd,nicki payed fendi but i guess he wants more money,because nicki is on a diff level now the pot is getting bigger so fendi wants more money,but the thing is fendi and kim was rolling hard kim even dis nicki and i know fendi was there…so what went wrong with fendi and kim something is going on that haven’t come out in to the public yet…fendi coming out of the blue now shading nicki…did you believe in nicki fendi why did you let her go..now you are sorry and is asking for money nicki always show you love in that song and her album credits..but i guess you just want more money,and sam don’t say nicki don’t have the time are day for him i doubt she sees it that way…and you kim fans talking about nicki isn’t paying her people…member the other day when one of kims ghostwriters exposed her because she wasn’t paying them remember that i know you all do so you all shading nicki is null..anyways like i said this is all about money fendi is crying for more money i bet if nicki wasn’t doing well we wouldn’t hear anything from him.
yes nicki fire them managers because they wasn’t doing there job,just like waka mom..put nicki international work permit on the back burner..and because of that she could get to go on tour,then she got puffy he was busy doing puffy so nicki burn him too..nicki is a business woman if you are messing around with her career then she is off to the next one..it,s not about loyalty are anything personal it,s business the sooner people understand that the better it will be for everyone…nicki believes in her self when others don’t thats why she is were she is at now..i remember when nicki was rapping in a dark dining room and when she left they were laughing at her..and look at the person they were laughing at now she is one of the biggest artist in the game now.
Down doggiez…lol
#TeamMinaj
@rdk I wish you would shut the f*** up with them long ass comments s*** dumb ass n**** man who cares bout sicki Minaj s*** b**** music is wack her Stan’s is wack they always hate on teamkim 24/7 & hate on kreayshawn
Teamminaj need to f*** off nicki is a f****** gimmick that will fade away real sooner then later… Then there. Will be kreayshawn and lil Kim left the real female mc’s they are no gimmicks they give you good music for the streets.
Yea so teamminaj pay some homage b****
Who cares what you lot say about Nicki’s career?? Who cares if you hate her?? I am team-minaj…..rap music versus country music all the way #rockandroll
Fendi you are a money-hungry piece of s***.
@RDK Giving someone a shot out on a track and paying them cold hard cash is two different things.Nicki made the Fobes list with $6million.To give him a couple of stacks for jump starting her career would kill her and it would be the morally right thing to do.
@KAYLA NO,Nicki isn’t loyal cause she constantly sh*ts on people who helped put her into the game.She reach a high level of success and forgot everybody that was with her since the beggining.
What did i tell you m************, stop hating on Nicki and stop trying to find ways to end her career. She is gonna be in the game until you die, so there is no getting away from her
#TeamMinaj all day every f****** day!
WTF yall talking about “Li Kim” Fendi was never her manager she was just using him to make Nicki mad.. the same way Nicki hired Kim’s old manager D-Roc (The same guy Kim went to jail for) to make Kim mad.
How are yall gonna call him a hater if he is saying that Nicki owes him money for her success.. If it wasn’t for him Nicki would not be signed to Young Money period. Oh and don’t run around saying that he is lying cause YMCMB is known for not paying people or did yall forget about BG, Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Bangladesh, and Wendy Day.
Gtfoh #TeamMinaj with that “Nicki probably payed him”… are you kidding me I believe everything Fendi is saying for one reason. One- Nicki is signed to YMCMB and we know them n***** is shady as hell they never payed anybody s*** from Wendy Day to Bangladesh.
This Is Fuckery because we all know YMCMB is notorious for not paying people they money.. so why is this such a shock?
Anything she owes him he gets everytime she mention her “come up” story… If he’s smart he would go find one of the other 50 Nicki Minaj’s rapping in their basements right now and keep his series of DVDs going. He has some credibility regarding exposure.

Fendi = irv gotti
Fendi just got to handle his business right when it comes to dealings.
At least it wasn’t all abput Nicki.
Fendi may have 2 start doing less favours because he messing with his own money relying on people to pay him back
Fendi may have given Nicki Minaj her start, but he’s definitely not responsible for where she is now and nor does she owe him anything. Artists are always seeking new management. Fendi is jealous, which is why he started working with Lil’ Kim in the first place. Like the article says, if Fendi is really responsible for all of Nicki’s success then why aren’t any of his other artists on Nicki’s level. “It’s funny how somebody elses success brings pain, when you’re no longer involved, that person has it all, and your just stuck standing there”
TAMMY you think it,s that simple you see people like fendi,they never is satisfied not matter hwo you pay them they keep coming back for more,so what if nicki made the forbs..she could be making billions it,s her money…so what if nicki starts out with him because of that he should how her for life…i see you have that same mentality she could have jump over him and don’t mention is name every again in her songs are album cred but she remember what he did for her…but like i said before just like if some one is blackmailing you..it,s like they own you no matter how much money you pay them they keep coming back for more…so no matter what fendi is going yo ack like nicki hows him something…one think of nicki didn’t have ambition and the business mind set she have she would still be at the bottom of the totom poll.
WHITE GIRL MOB youy white piece of trailer trash why don’t you go and let your inbreed father n** in your a-s again and leave me da f-ck alone…nicki is one of my fav artist if i want to wright a f-cking book about her i am free to do so,you should pay attention to that cryeay are whatever the f-ck she is called…and who you calling n!gg@ if one of you retared posers call me that sh-t in public them you will get a f-cking @#@$%$^ across your f-cking face..yall need to get put in yall place..because yall using that sh-t around some d-mn a-s n!gg@ you feel that s*** is cool around here.
FENDI was on MTV with Lil KIm last year talking about how Black Friday was gonna blow Pink Friday out the water. Fendi was bashing Nicki as if he thought Kim was gonna Kill Nickis career.. Bottomline is Fendi did help put Nicki on but artist maximize on oppurtunities and eventually move on… Do you see Jay-Z having the same managers as he did when he first got on… uummmm HELL NO… its called evoluation and thats what the music game is about the only people who aint gettin money are the ones making diss videos and ranting and raving about how someone owes them money… Nicki dont owe this foo a dime… He helped her become a rapper and from there she made her own decisions and there arent any contracts so it just looks like Nicki mad a wise business move and Fendi didnt.. If i helped somebody come up and then seen them years later being the top artist in the world in her genre i would be mad too but that madness would stem from the inside… like damn i shouldnt have let her go… But all that should be fueling him right now is that the women he helped is now a worldwide superstar and an undeniably smart business women. I think Nicki owes nobody anything… Shes huge i mean huge and Fendi is mad and bitter and clearly he doesnt like to brush them teeth either. I have nuttin negative to say about Kim because she paved the way But just cause some one paved the road doesnt mean there the only ones that can drive on it if you kno what i mean. I cant believe Nicki has so many haters we as women need to quit all this… If we cant respect eachother why do we expect these men too… You may not like Nickis music but as a black women in her genre in a male dominated ora i am damn glad to see a women hodling us down and doing her thing… Shes done things nody has and i tip my hat off to this lady everytime i see her doing more and more…
grapejuice i think what you have written is a bit bitchy & simplistic…if somebody plays a part in someones career and influences them to doing stuff and working with people, that ends up makes them succesfull…you can understand why they would have something to say about it.
in industry terms there is actually a legal term that makes them eligble to get paid called “finders fee”….
plus if someone makes something :ie. films footage and someone else steals it and gets paid for it…you can understand the annoyance and why someone would feel aggressive and annoyed. but your posting this and saying he should shut up?
EEEWWWW HE’S GROSS. SHOUT OUT TO NICKI. PF:R.RELOADED 02/03..LEGGO
welcome to the Fam Fendi
hello peopls lol thats all im out
dnt wat im doing lmao….
