Forbes magazine certainly stirred its fair share of controversy between fans of Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea. For, after crowning Azalea rap’s new female frontrunner, Minaj’s faithful “Barbs and Ken Barbs” came to her defense via a host of unforgiving tweets to the mag. So much so, they opted to retitle the article.
When quizzed on the matter via a phoned ‘Breakfast Club’ interview days later, the ‘Pills N Potions’ performer politely laughed off claims of her absence. Now, as news has surfaced that the Aussie rap sensation’s single ‘Fancy’ has risen to the #2 spot on the Hot 100, she is extending praises.
“I think that congratulations is in order. Her single is doing really, really well and I think that’s a good thing,” she said of Iggy’s hit “Fancy.”
Minaj made it clear, however, that the Grand Hustle rapstress’ success came at a price:
“I just want female rappers to understand that I’ve kicked in a lot of doors for them and I just would appreciate if they would acknowledge that,” she said.
It only gets better. Hear it all below:

Ok nicki… I guess you giving respect where it’s due, that cool. See ya nicki ain’t no bitter ass b****, like ya think she is. Nicki ain’t worried bout nothing
Oh Nicki now u want them to recognize u kicked down doors but you couldn’t recognize Kim doing that for you? The hypocrisy is real. Girl have several. You and that boring single u put out.
I pray iggy goes number one. That would KO Nicki ego. And I don’t even like iggy music.
Nic has a CATALOGUE of hits n is the best selling female rapper of all time. Plus Pills N Potions is #12 on WW itunes, charting in over 50 countries and #4 in the US. Lets not forget that Nic has 2 #1 albs, i dont think she cares about a #1 single.
nicki is a stuck up b****…her ego is out of control and she is not the best female rapper of all time. im sorry to have to break the news to all of you…she sold her soul….
Aww Nicki is sweet for this.
Slayriah it’s no shade girl i love you and your lessor Canadian self. Since we are both in the Lambily can I show you how much I care?? Let me suck your di.ck PLEASE? Mariah can’t sing anymore because she has nodules but my throat is totally clear and ready to deep throat you!! Please!!! We are lambing!!!
I just got caught up with some of the events that have transpired earlier. Let’s just say that It was a VERY messy day out in the TGJ streets. I notice that a usual personality is absent. The BXTCH was always perched in every single post… Usually the first to comment every where. Lol.
Congrats Iggy! *waits patiently for the hateful ass, evil people to spew their hate in the comments below.*
YES! That picture is EVERYTHING!!
I love BOTH of these women! Instead of pinning them AGAINST each other, we need to SUPPORT THEM and KEEP THEM AT THE TOP!!
^_^
Respect that’s all nothing more nothing less. keep doing your thing nicki and that pills N Potion track is nice.
I’m glad she’s not bitter and Nick been in the game for a bit. No other rapper, male or female canfflow the way she flows. For all we know, this may be the ONLY hit from Iggy. I don’t think people see Ugly as a rapper, they probably see her as a Kesha or Fergie, cause no one is buying that album. I’ll hold judgment til single #2.
You mean single #5.
First of all, FLOPloaded still not PLATINUM and it had a huge hit. Secondly, Fancy may be doing well but The New Classic flopping harder than K Michelle’s Rebellious Soul SCREAMS!!!!
‘
And lastly, FLOPnika says, ““I just want female rappers to understand that I’ve kicked in a lot of doors for them and I just would appreciate if they would acknowledge that,” she said.”
‘
Gurl f****** BYE, when is this b**** going to get it that there have been female rappers who were there before her.
‘
If anyone opened doors, it was the Foxy Brown’s, MC Lyte’s, Da Brat, Kremlin’s and of course Missy Elliott’s of this world.
‘
In fact Missy Misdemeanor Elliott did more in the sense that she blurred the lines that existed between rap and pop music; until you pay homage to them FLOPNika, I’m going to need you to fill all the empty seats at the half empty theatres on your second “world” (used loosely) tour.
Silence b****! Nicki has paid respect to everyone you’ve mentioned above.
Would you like the receipts with you or in Rihanna’s sinkhole p****?
🙁 🙂 😀 😆
Please forward receipts of FLOPloaded selling 1 million copies to the RIAA; they must have missed them with that fraudulent certification.
You know female rap was dead for like 10 years until Nicki Minaj came along so let’s not. She opened doors for A. Banks, Kreayshawn, Iggy, Angel Haze (Angel said so herself) and others. It’s because of Nicki’s success that they’re signing female rappers again.
Dude when she looked like a man before all her plastic surgery nobody gave a f*** about her and her wack ass raps, now that she has young money doing everything for her she sounds good after auto tuned. But before that she sounded like s*** that’s why nobody f***** with her for the first 5 years she was rapping.
Meanwhile on the charts,
‘
WW sales: @IGGYAZALEA, The New Classic 23,000 (148,000 total).
‘
WW sales: @lilyallen, Sheezus 31,000 (108,000 total).
‘
And Lilly Allen hasn’t got a huge hit on the radio Kiiiiiiiii.
Isn’t homage all Kim wanted Nicki?! Instead you jocked her style and got smart every time someone called you out on it! But you want to give a back handed congrats to Iggy who’s slaying your career right now. B**** please…you’re time been up! Now THAT is truth Ts!
She did pay homage to KIm. Kim, the queen of delusion, wanted her to say it every day and bow down or some s***.
Nicki Paid Kim Homage! STFU lmfao
The crouching picture was paying homage to krim.
“Who’s ya best M C” From Nicki’s first f****** mixtape paid homage to Krim.
Plus numerous interviews that Nicki shouted Krim out!
What the f*** did yall want Nicki to do? Lay down and toss Lil Krim’s Asian Salad?
BYE. 😀
Girl please. Your corny barbies are constantly hating on Iggy. How did you pave a way when the lane you “created” is just the lane Lil’ Kim blue printed for you, Verbatim.!! Never saw you give her that true credit. You may have mentioned it lightly but I would think since 85% of your looks/swag are copies of things she’s done already you would be much more vocal on how much she influenced you instead of sitting in interviews talking about “oh she’s so irrelevant and blah blah” all the while you’re a sitting there with the “crush on you” wig, the “came back for you” fur jacket etc etc. Don’t ask for what you don’t give honey.
Listen girl, it is 2014 and I refuse to talk about b****** who havent been on billboard in going on 10 years now.
Find a new topic to be mad about, like how Krims broke ass was begging her fans for gifts for her baby.
You have a nice day sis. 🙂
Luckily for me it’s 2014 and I am still talk about lil Kim’s music .. Her old music, cause it’s timeless. Can we talk about starships? Lol. Didn’t think so
This is the reason why I can’t stand Nicki anymore…no trace of humility on her. if u want to congratulate someone, do it and stop saying they should pay u homage like what?! and am not even Iggy’s fan
She wasn’t asking Iggy to pay homage. She gave two separate answers due to the fact that the asked her another question about when people compare female rappers to her.
Why would anyone with good sense pay homage to that known prostitute Kim? what exactly did she do besides put on a wig and suck d**** in the studio all day? she’s gross and nasty and her face is 2 seconds from falling off. if anyone need to be paid homage to it’s the real queen Missy Misdemeanor Elliot.
Thank goodness Nicki got rid of that makeup and wig and showed her natural beauty. That pic just looks odd with her and Iggy almost having the same skin tone, her makeup artist had her looking bleached and made of latex. Now she actually looks younger and much more sophisticated.
Who was that in the beginning? Sounded like Future. Anyway, dude went off!
I’ll just leave this here.

@Kitty, I agree; why pay homage to Kremlin when Missy Elliot has sold more records than all these rap whores.
Missy’s 5 platinum albums > Kremlin’s 3.
Talk about a fake hater congratulations. Karma is a b****…I love me some Lil Kim and respect to Nicki for making a name for herself…but let’s be real, Iggy does not owe you anything Nicki! She earned her stars and stripes! You couldn’t acknowledge the rest who came before you! You threw them shade and disses. You will get what you served Kim, Mariah and errbody else! By the way respect is earned not forced or demanded. Get it Iggy!
And she will flourish thanks to good praises to Alicia Keys, Beyoncé , Jay, Britney, Madonna, Busta Rhymes, Christina Aguilera, Monica, T.I., Kanye, Diddy you know people who still matter. Don’t nobody give a f*ck about no Kim and Mariah.
Death at people thinking Kremlin opened any doors besides the door to the studio for her ghost writer. Have several seats, there were people doing it before Kremlin.
‘
Not when rappers like MC Lyte started in the 80s.
http://youtu.be/iSzxzCKyvEk
Nicki can actually say she mothered this Iggy Chick tbh.
According to FLOPnika, these women never existed.
http://youtu.be/QoQwdzKm7hk
But sis what songs have they released this decade?
Or the last?
Does it matter? They left their mark on the industry, and really opened doors. Nicki deserves no homage. She’s break “Rap” records with “Pop” songs and slipping through “cracked” doors that she claims she “Opened”
Starships will NEVER be as iconic or memorable FLOPnika, sit down
http://youtu.be/vCadcBR95oU
but let’s compare sales for both songs or nah because you know who would come out on top. 😉
Sales? iTunes sales aren’t relevant when compare new artist to old ones. iTunes wasn’t a big deal back then.
Clubs still play this, Supabass will never.
http://youtu.be/UX_b8v4hywk
Lmao!! now i know you’re smoking crack.
But that album The New FLOP is not selling tho…iggy reminds me of Kesha , both of them ‘rap’…
Death at this barb trying to compare digital single sales in the 00s with physical single sales from the 80/90s.
I’m Dun! Is nikki really feeling herself? She’s giving the girl props while shading her. So now every female rapper that comes along that is a hit has to pay homage to her. The delusional realness is real! hypocritical when she didn’t even acknowledge Lil Kim for even getting her to where she at today. Remind you, b**** u still new. Talking like she came out in 1985. Gurl bye!
Nicki is lucky she been the only female rapper killing for the past years. She finally got competition now.
I hope Beyonce comes next. She has no competition lately. Im tired of seeing her. Imma need a fierce female performer to finally come snatch her. These cheap females are making it to easy for her with they lazy asses. I need someone to finally give her a run for her money, cause none of these females of this generation are and she’s f****** with my nerves.
Lmfaoo. Keep seething Bish. By ain’t going nowhere anytime soon. Threatened much? #1 chick, don’t need no hype.
Mariah has to retire first cause the b**** is too old n fat. Bey is only in her 30’s.
I see why you’re Dense.
Nicki has been so humble & nice lately! I’m loving her new attitude & Ora!
Lol @ her wanting acclaim.. She’s a hypocrite.. Beyonce can’t hold a candle to MC.. What are her current singles doing? Flopping.. Her album has already cooled off.. “You’re Mine” charted higher on pop radio than Partition. Pop radio doesn’t play her singles like that..
I like how @hoebird is pretending to not know the facts LMAOOO once it starts stabbing for someone else it’s memory is erased!!! I cannot!!! Flip flopping c***!
Stanning*
Look Iggy SINGLE is doing well her Album is not selling good! Even Khia had a single that did well! My point is Nicki does well on the single and Album front! She has really made Fem rappers “HOT” again! I never cared for a Female rapper besides The queen Missy! And I feel missy and nicki are alike they different
I think Pills N Potions will chart in the top ten.
Niki is an idiot…Left Eye, missy and Kim been there done that. She couldn’t just congratulate her and keep it moving..I don’t know what people are seeing but she is being bitter.Did y’all forget Lil Wayne put Niki on the map.Iggy made it without any big names.
This is that b******* everyone around Nicki keep talking about… The whole I love you, yet hate you thing. It’s very unappealing to many. After seeing Nicki on some interview Wendy Williams showed, I instantly was turned off to Nicki and her multiple MK personalities, especially after releasing that b******* she called Roman Reloaded:… Not here for her or Iggy tbh. I like Iggy but i only see me buying singles from her. I want a female rapper to really SHUT IT DOWN. I would love to see someone as a mix between Eve, Trina, & Missy… That would add balance to her image so she wouldn’t come off as an oversexed n** swallower. Either way it go, good luck to both beautiful ladies and Nicki you didn’t open any door that wasn’t already cracked open by those before you.
Try Brianna Perry She’s Really good.her most famous song is “Marilyn Monroe”
Lmfao KARMA IS A B***H!!!!! Nicki was really feeling her self… Homage wtf you did that hasn’t been done before that iggy needs to pay homage lmfao!!!! Nicki was low key hating on every rap chick in the game that came before her (Ex. She said “I single handedly aniyalated every rap b**** In the game: itty bitty off of her mixtape) so know you got competition you want respect FOH you ain’t show respect so you get no respect!!!!! Plus you ain’t kick down no damn door for female rappers the door been kicked down!!!! You were just the only female rapper at the time so if you have no competition or no other female rappers are putting out albums who’s do you think these weak minded kids are going to buy???? And btw none of your albums are classics like lil kim hard core

I’M SORRY DO I KNOW YOU? DID YOU NEED TO PUT YOUR D*** IN MY MOUTH TOO? IT CAN FIT!!!!
Uhmm. I don’t think Nicki kicked in them doors, the female rappers before her did that, awkward. Congrats Iggy Fancy is my fave off the album well deserved.
NO female rappper could chart to save their life for a long time until Ms Minaj appeared she didn’t just conquered The US (like all female rappers besides Missy) she conquered the world!! So I’ll say She made female rappers HOT again How can you say she did not Pay homage to anyone? What are you just dumb? She doesn’t NEED to but she did even praised kim , missy , lauryn etc Kim did nothing but show her boobs and go for surgery Missy is the REAL queen
Nicki payed Kim, Foxy, Trina, Lauryn Hill, Left Eye and Queen Latifah homage.
NICKI STOLE KIMS EVERYTHING THEJ ACTED LIKE LAURYN AND FOXY WERE HER BIGGEST INFLUENCES! THAT BE LIKE ME SITTING IN MICHAEL JACKSONS THRILLER OUTFIT, WITH THE JERRY CURL AND THE ZOMBIE MAKEUP AND SAYING “YEAH MY BIGGEST INFLUENCE IS LUTHER” LOL !! BUT CAN I PLEASE SUCK YOUR D***?
Hahahaha! So Nicki paved the way now? What the hell is wrong with you gurl?
You think you’re Lil’ Kim, Missy or Foxy or Eve or Brat and all and all?
You’re just trash! You paved no way! You’re a shame for music industry!
I cant lie at first i
wasnt to keen on nicki but she is a black
female makong moces and she deserves supportf cuz
this Iggy Azalea girl def getting ‘white privilag’ii
Nicki sit down with this back handed compliment. You didn’t kick down no doors,you still sitting on the damn porch. Kim wanted homage from you but I was like pulling f****** teeth for you to say she is the queen of rap and just move on.
Nicki made female rap hot again, so she should be paid homage
She doesn’t deserve homage. Nothing Nicki did helped Iggy. Iggy made it by herself without her help. Nicki wasn’t the first female rapper. That whole she made female rappers hot again may or may not be true, still she doesn’t deserve homage for something she never started. Really I could care less about both of them so my opinion isn’t bias like most of yours are. Nicki is basically saying that because of her that’s why Iggy is fampous which isn’t true at all. “Kick down the doors.” The doors were already kicked down. There just wasn’t anymore female rappers. Its not like this was the 60’s where women could only be in the kitchen. This is why I disagree with her. If she really wanted to congratulate her, she shouldn’t have even added the last part. To me the very first females who started rapping are THE ONLY ONES who deserve homage. You can make a name for yourself and do well, but if you weren’t there struggling back when it was almost impossible for females to rap then you can keep your demands of homage. No one is obligated to acknowledge you. You didn’t pave the way for her.
Hey everyone, I added my Twitter account to my name, feel free to follow me!

I was forced to create a Twitter account to remain my credibility on these crappy sites, as it is a hobby I mostly enjoy in my free time… I dont take it that serious but this atleast gives me personal security from the trolls!!!
Y’all saying Nicki never paid Kim homage? She has plenty of times before she got as big as she is now. Even in an interview she did not too long ago she said she still thinks Kim is dope and has no beef with her, so it’s Kim that’s being the bitter b**** imo. It’s sad that Kim acted like she didn’t see none of the homage Nicki showed her.
I’m happy Nicki said this so people can stop this petty s*** thinking they don’t like each other. I hope they collab one day.
