Murder INC’s Irv Gotti has long been renown for not holding his tongue. Ironically, the once-influential label head will no doubt set tongues wagging with his latest statements. For in a recent interview with VIBE, Gotti claims that “Nicki Minaj is just as talented as Lauryn Hill“.
His full quote after the jump…
The world has yet to see the best of Nicki Minaj. What she’s delivering to the world now is basically what they want. But I know that she’s a super talented superstar who can do anything at a high level—rap, sing, act, whatever she wants to do. This is just the beginning of Nicki Minaj. Her best is yet to come. In my opinion she is as talented as my other girl Lauryn Hill. They have completely different styles. But as far as the talent is concerned they both can do it all. Nicki just isn’t showing it yet ’cause she doesn’t want to. But world be prepared ’cause she’s the truth!
Do you agree with Irv?
