Nicki Minaj has long marched to the beat of her own drum and she’s doing so today – in a major way.
As just reported, the rapper lost out on the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 after Travis Scott triumphed for a second week with ‘Astroworld.’
Well, while Onika quite requesting a recount – she has declared herself the true victor.
Find out why below…
Per our prior report, both acts drew on “unique” measures to secure the coveted #1 position.
Indeed, they each aimed to one-up each other with “unique” merchandise, tour, and streaming bundles that became increasingly tricky to track.
Now, Nicki is stressing that Travis’ tactics render his “win” invalid. She just tweeted:
Update: She just added the following:
My first album sold 400K. No one is doing that with debut albums now. So I’m so grateful. I lost out on 12 hours of sales and did 200K in one week after I was supposedly cancelled. I bit my tongue last
#QueenRadio but I won’t On Tuesday. I love you guys so muchI looked at the numbers the Carters, Kanye, Nas, etc recently did. Travis sold 200K in his first week of clothes alone. I spoke to him last night & he said he’s been selling clothes b4 the music. Billboard says they’ll change the rules cuz of this, so it should be changed now!
I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. lol. Im actually laughing.
#Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans.Spotify put drake’s face on every playlist but told me they’d have to teach me a lesson for playing my music 10 mins early on
#QueenRadio. Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time.Spotify had to teach me a lesson but rewarded the man who has had an Apple radio show the longest; inadvertently helping the Apple platform the most. Oh I can’t wait for
#QueenRadio on Tuesday. They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this.#QueenMy music went up on Apple so I played it. I assumed it was on Spotify & Tidal at the same time. Spotify said that Apple tweeted fans advising
#Queen was up & therefore they had to teach me a lesson. But PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!!!My label didn’t want to defend me for fear of Spotify trying to teach Ariana a “lesson” too!
Do you know how many women get systematically blackballed out of their positions in an office building & can’t fight back?????
Valid point or poor sportsmanship?
Sore loser…
Exactly! When Nicki released Barbie Bin and Done Li so close to when Cardi released her debut album, I knew her stank asss was gonna get her KARMA! And Travis delivered it to her! I’m so happy for Kylie’s baby daddy lol ? MJ said, “BEAT IT” and Miss Celie said, “BEAT HER.” ???
Nicki is crowning her album #1, just like she crowned herself Queen of Rap. But Cardi didn’t have presales, bundled tours/merchandise or nothing. EXPLAIN THAT NICKI!!! Nicki cares less about being #2. She’s pissed that she didn’t sell as much as Cardi.
WTF cares about #1 when the album is going to slip and fall off the charts like high heels walking on greese (ie real fast). Charts don’t make an artist or celebrity. Nicki is a big star and it is time she either acts like a big star or move on to the aunti phase. Big stars don’t sweat over the charts because they have nothing to prove and big stars get their tour money. I know Nicki is likely under a 360 deal but it is her own fault for taking long breaks between albums instead of hurrying up and finishing her 360 deal to become an independent artist.
MTE. Nicki flopped but now her meltdown is making it even a bigger flop LMAO. The clown came back to bite. Music publications are finally panning her p*** collab.
Poor sportsmanship in every way
just sad nicki u let the whole world see u sweat…beyonce would never she needs to take a break re-brand and go and find something menaningful in life outside of this music stuff its destroying her.
Whoa. Simple yet deep. It does seems as if this is all she has going for her and that could cause one to become obsessed. Even if this is true, her got JT out her way to speak on this is mind blowing and brand damaging. I’m kinda of floored. Who has the time to do this… and if you do, be a good business women and let your PR release an official statement on your behalf. This is crazy! Wow!
Right……. she should get a man and some babies, she clearly lonely
Just accept that you made #2 Nicki. At least you made #2. Just accept it and move on
She wasn’t upset when she made #2 with Pinkprint. Cardi got her popping dem pills hard!!
This is pathetic… Smh
hahahahaha this is sooooo corny!
Queens don’t act this way!
I can’t believe she’s really going out sad like this. It was all so predictable, but still surprising to see unfold. She’s really getting on Twitter and blaming Kylie…this is indefensible. This broad really petitioned Billboard to change the rules after all the b******* she pulled. Nicki you were selling $5 Queen pins + free digital album. A MESS!
Why does Nicki have to snitch or bring other people in to prove her point. Geez. She snitched on Tyga just to make a point about Safaree hairline. She’s so freaking immature. Her parents raised “messed up” children. Why didn’t her father accompany her mother during that interview? Secrets and shames.
All I know is no true QUEEN would represent or handle herself like this publicly.
–
Looks so bad.
–
She keeps talking about this and it then becomes a news story.
–
When Britney Spears ‘Blackout’ I believe it was, was denied the top spot because The Eagles had a Walmart only release qualify for the Top spot on the Billboard 200, did we see Britney tweet up a storm. Nope.
–
Her doing this, is just showing Cardi keeps winning, without doing sh!t. And I say this as a fan of both.
–
A mess!
Exactly Britney album was supposed to be #1 but they change the rule & she didn’t swear it, Nicki is a sore loser
But she didn’t explain 2+ months of presales though.
Well, probably because Britney already had # 1’s
I think Britney had a lot more things on her mind than her music career at the time. I don’t even know if she realized she had an album out in 2007 she was so mentally gone. So glad she was able to turn it all back around in 2008.
This is what delusional is what about her cheating numbers adding FEFE that’s cheating right lol
She has no sense of self worth. Her whole self worth is caught up in this Minaj persona and numbers. It’s why she raps about son’ing other females 24/7. Her valediction comes from outside and not inside.
I feel sad for her now because she literally seems to be coming unhinged in social media . Like her or not the woman has a ton of fans and tons of success and does not have to do all of this. It’s cringey.
What a loser lol
She said what’s she m/effing said! Queen the real number 1 album
Only it isn’t.
And this is precisely why Nicki won’t last much longer! If you’re just in it for the numbers, you will flop hard!
This h o e is looney toons
Okurrrrt.
She sucks! She didn’t have those 12 hours because she finished the album 3 hours before she was on Queen Radio. That’s her fault for not having her body or work ready AND releasing it early. She pulled some stunts to get her a #1 too and she didn’t and she’s mad it didn’t work. This is exactly why people don’t like her. She’s such a sore loser and so stank.
“so stank” ???
I agree 200 percent.
Didn’t Pink Friday debut at #2 with $375K EIGHT YEARS AGO? She can’t just give it an extra 25K. What does she mean nobody is doing #400K in this day and age. B**** THAT WAS EIGHT YEARS AGO!!!! When did 2010 become today? Take that half of a pill and chill.
She said no one is doing 400k this day n age the week after Travis Scott did 500K lol…
and still beat her the 2nd week…
And also “time Machine b****** always talking bout the old days, when they was not when they was touring with the O’Jays.”
*hot
OMG She really is SHOOK about her current position in music.
See what you did Remy Ma and Cardi B?
Smh I feel bad for her
…….. Alexa play “ShETHER” by Remy Ma and “I Like It but Cardi B ??
HASHTAG: #Karma #IamLIVING
LMFAO b**** this is getting pathetic now, I just can’t even??????????
Onika is high on Molly and Meth and higher on insecurity
R.I.P GRANDMA NIKKI ?
LMAO ? She can perform at Bingo night!
This is such a bad look. Who is advising her? Even if this was true the general public doesn’t give a f*** about numbers and charts NOR understands the politics of it. Th e akademiks of the web got her so triggered. She’s letting folks online troll her about coming in at #2 instead of celebrating the fans who f*** with the album and getting ready for her tour. Since when in 2018 is 190k a flop?!
$190K is a flop when she’s #2 against another female rapper, CARDI!
Nobody called it a flop yet even though it is. She about to fall hard second week because her album lacks Safaree’s songwriting skills.
Why didn’t she look at the numbers Cardi recently did? HAHAHAHAHA
But shouldnt Travis Scott get credit for having the highest PURE SALES debut over DRAKE this year? AstroWorld sold around 100k more than Scorpian first wk in pure sales smh
Again Rip Nikki ? 2009-2018
This is actually insane.
To think that someone would put so much stock into chart numbers; that not getting #1 hurts her so much to do a Twitter rant and make accusations like this.
I usually stay out of these posts and I enjoyed Queen, but Nicki it’s time to leave the industry; before you completely lose it.
Back from a visit on her twitter acc and I have to say Ms Swift with the good gowns, the beautiful gowns has nothing on this stupid h** when it comes to playing victim
She’s tweeting “Trump tweets” lol
By claiming the sales are due to kylie and stormi, she’s basically saying she thinks kylies name holds more promotional value than hers does.
….Does anyone else also notice that in conjunction with that, she’s also been trying to hijack fans off of these young white women? She was shoulder to shoulder with her at coachella and posting her on her snap. I recall she was the one doing the filming. She’s also trying to use her association with ariana to now validate herself, since her fanbase and platforms are bigger.
That’s because Kylie does have more promotional value than Nicki. And I agree, Ariana’s star is definitely rising while Nicki’s star is falling so she is trying to latch on to her association with Ari so she can siphon off her fan base. Some type of ‘Ariana likes me so you guys should like me too’ mindset.
I’m really afraid she’s going to turn on Ariana at some point.
Embarrasng Queen. she should have called her album Jester, coz she acting like a clown #GapTheScene
I love Nicki but she’s acting VERY thirsty, pressed and childish this era. She should not have titled this album queen without a bonafied hit. You can’t call yourself a queen and run around here like a court jester. She’s focused on everyone else when she should’ve focused on putting out a great body of work and a HIT. Chun-li was garbage…Bed should’ve been a hit but the video was garbage and late asf…Ganja Burns is not single worthy…Dreams is only hot because of the sample…Barbie Tingz was a definite NO. Girl Bye! Put Queen behind you and move on, it’s not happening. You spent 4 years to return and this is what you come back with?! Too lit too lit should’ve been a full song. Bye Onika. BYE. Until I get Black Barbie or Bedrock Nicki I’m over her and I am a FAN. But not with the shits.
The top 7 best songs on Queen can only compete with the Bottom 3 Weakest tracks on Invasion which are RING, BEST LIFE, AND SHE BAD ?. That shows just how much better cardI is.
I’m not going to compare bc Cardi did not write one song on her album. But IOP is a banger I must say and farrrrr better than QUEEN of complaining.
ring and best life are bangers. she actually talking bout haters and what her life was like before the fame.
The weakest song on IOP is Bartler Cardi. I still can’t understand why ppl f*** with that song.
Niki is like Trump. its always has to be about them. she’s the most miserable biatch in the business
Wow, I’m not a fan nor am I a “hater” of Nicki. I’m more of a casual indifferent observer of many of these popular artist, but this woman is just becoming a nuisance right about now. She wants to be seen as the Queen but she is trying so hard to prove it rather than letting things fall into place organically that will speak for her. This behavior will continue to push potential fans away. It’s embarrassing at this point, and I’ve tried to sympathize with her but I dont see any other female artist who had been around for 10+ years constantly taking to social media to defend their accomplishments like Nicki does.
This b****** hit more excuses that a night going to jail . Definitely poor sportsmanship
B**** got more excuses than a n**** going to jail
It don’t have to be one or the other, it can be both… she should’ve known better tho. Like go off on spotify but don’t let them see you sweat over the hot 200
Here go the same troll hating ass b****** coming for the Queen they are Fancy Trash-Fancy Bish, DiaperRash and Antibotics-Diabetes Unbothered, Respiratory Lambchops- Rasputia Latimore, Adump- Adele, Disease- DC, GapsbetweenAllTeeth- Gapp the Scene.. Y’all are some pathetic hating ass troll ass b******. I don’t see comment on any other post but Nicki’s y’all be waiting for this s*** y’all so sad get a life!!! Don’t think to comment back because I’m on GO TONIGHT Imma read all y’all asses for filth and send y’all hating ass back to CHURCH!!!! Im tired of y’all asses!
Lmao, maybe you and Nikki and the rest of the Barbs should attend the Church of Beysus Christ so you to may become UNBOTHERED like me and the rest of the B’HIVE ?
R. I. P NIKKI ?

Issa lost cause. Nicki fell back and these delusional/lame/unemployed/freeassgiving fans that troll in these posts FOR FREE should do the same. Mannnnn she’s postponing the tour bc she FLOPPED. Numbers DO matter and EVERY artist wants to debut at #1! Instead of downing folk for their opinions maybe you should go cop 10 copies of Queen of what? and stream it while you sleep.
Maybe next time Onika.
*told et bish i’m sorry tho*
three words – GAP THE SCENE
Gap between all teeth I think probably fits your hating ass your probably A lazy mf sitting
On the couch missing teeth and three you do have probably hanging from the roota to the motherfucking toota.Mf get a life stop hating a woman mf like you probably struggling with your sexuality wearing pink wigs and all behind close doors listen to every Nicki song but want to jump on the tardi gang.NICKI will forever be the queen like I told that’s last fat b**** the difference between Nicki is she write co produce and have all writing credits on all her music THAT a true artist and A REAL QUEEN so get with the ready team or be buried with the rest of the bardi team because the barbz 6 ft ahead of you b****** ??? #2 or not
A whole paragraph of sub par disses, you a true Nicki Minaj fan coz her diss tracks and whack also. #GapTheScene #GapIt . Up your comment game hoodrat.
Yes I suggest you come down and stop coming for the Queen before I continue to roast your gym rat troll looking ass ???
Dear god she’s finally gone crazy! Kim said it!
Wtf is wrong her? Just take the #2 spot and keep promoting the album to increase longevity interest in the project….I’m not a fan but a few songs were cute ??♂️
UTTERLY PATHETIC! Nicki is a bum b**** and a LOSER! She and the Barbs need to just take this L and have several seats!
Sounds like she’s babbling a bunch of excuses that no one wants to hear. What’s done is done, at the end of the day she didn’t make #1 and that all anyone will take from it.
God forbid the tour flops. She’ll blame Future’s 99 kids.
Nicki stop tryna make fetch happen, its no going to happen! #desperate
She lost me on this one. She need to humble herself and be grateful that she’s is still relevant in today’s music climate. And if we’re gonna get real, QUEEN wasn’t as polished as Pink Print.
Delusional Queen. ?
Barbz are really complaining that Cardi song was co-written clearly you guys needs to look at the songwriting credit and you will see that Cardi is listed on all the songs. Since you all want to guess you check the iTunes and tidal. Stop the hate train on Cardi because she is outdoing somebody that calls herself a Queen but is complaining about album sales and chart position on the charts..
All the songs on Queen multiple people outside of Nicki with writing credits as well.
And tell me that you coming back that you just took a break
Maybe I blamed you for everything that was my mistake
In hindsight I loved your rawness and I loved your edge
‘Cause it was you who talked me down from jumpin’ off the ledge
Your earrings bamboo, your long nails too
Your B.M.W. every time you came through
You was the braveheart
You stole Wayne heart
You never switched it up
You played the same part
But I needed to grow
And I needed to know
That there were some things inside of me that I need to show
So I just deaded you
Left you in all black
But dear old Nicki
Please call back
?????
Poor sportsmanship. She tried every trick under the book including a music video for Ganja Burn and adding Fefe to the tracklist midweek.
Truth is its actually a decent album, very cohesive and befitting of one of the hottest female MCs around. The issue is she built her fan base on bubblegum pop and pop-rap. They aren’t here for the straight up urban Nicki. Also the album is bloated – it’s about 5 tracks too long and she ruined its rollout with the billion tracks released before the album
Doesn’t she get tired. Even for me this last week was exhausting, I don’t think I can do another.
Sore loser
HOW IS YOUR ALBUM NAMED QUEEN, BUT YOU SOLD DUTCHESS?
HOW IS YOUR ALBUM NAMED QUEEN, BUT YOU SOLD DUTCHESS? Thelo
Dutchess tho ?????
Chambermaid AT BEST. ??????
She’s throwing tantrums in every interview except for one, and that’s probably because she hadnt popped her perks yet. Nikki hyped her ablum up for soo long now she cant take it because Cardi beat her numbers out and actually broke records that Nikki could not break in a 10 year career. Listen to Ganga Burn Closely, she said she came back to bury the Bardi, SIKE, didn’t work , now her ass sore. Should have named the her ablum”DRAMA QUEEN”
She is beyond embarrassing at this point. She had tour bundles and added the highly-streamed 6ixe9ine song FeFe to her album midweek which greatly inflated her streaming numbers to 185,000. So she has no leg to stand on. She thinks Travis owed her the #1 spot it appears. It’s really tragic to see her tarnishing her legacy with her attacking all her peers in the entertainment industry.
Charts state otherwise!! Nicki Minaj wants to be #1 but her fan base is CHEAP!! ?”Bzzz”?
