Drake‘s no stranger to enjoying views from the top of the Billboard 200 and, thanks to his recently delivered ‘Care Package,’ he’s revisiting the tally’s perch.

As we reported here, Drizzy sprung a summery surprise on fans last week with the release of his affectionately titled compilation project (comprised of early musical gems that, prior to now, hadn’t been available to stream on the leading services).

After just a day of availability, industry analysts predicted the set would top this week’s album chart to the tune of 100,000-120,000 sold.  Now, with its first full week of sales tracking behind it, look inside to see if they were close to the mark:

Apparently Rap superstars Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj went from bumping speakers with their 2011 hit, ‘You the Boss,’ to bumping heads thanks to a perceived diss found aboard Ricky Rozay’s ‘Rather You Than Me’ album.

Shortly after setting the ‘Net ablaze with her fiery interview with Joe Budden on her show, ‘Queen Radio’ (as we reported here), Minaj took to the ‘Pump It Up’ performer’s platform to continue the heated discussion and also weigh in on other hot topics. When asked if she preferred Ross over The Game, she launched into a tirade to address a lyric found on The Biggest Bawse’s song, 2017’s ‘Apple of My Eye,’ where he said:

“I told Meek I wouldn’t trust Nicki / Instead of beefin’ with your dog, you just give ’em some distance.”

The perceived diss didn’t sit well with the Queen.  Hear her response inside:

When Nicki Minaj released her debut album ‘Pink Friday’ in the November of 2010 she watched the set become one of the fastest selling albums to impact the charts in the last decade within weeks.

In its first month the Rap & R&B-flavoured release sold over 1 million units in the United States alone.

This week, almost a decade after its unleashing, the album has pushed the rapper’s discography to unparalleled heights on a sales front.

Trina found her self in a tangled set of headlines this week after a member of her team took to social media with damning jabs aimed at Nicki Minaj. 

As reported, the veteran’s A&R charged Onika with allegations of being deceitful and uncooperative when it comes to the push for the rappers’ collaboration ‘BAPS.’

In the time since, Minaj loosely addressed the matter on Queen Radio and multitudes of her fans have flooded the Queen of Miami’s social pages to throw shade and demand answers.

It’s also re-ignited the debate about the Barbz leader’s various spats.

Now, it looks like Trina will be breaking her silence on the matter.

Last night saw Nicki Minaj set the airwaves ablaze with a drama-filled episode of Queen Radio on Apple Music. 

As reported, she sounded off on the likes of Joe Budden, Trina(‘s team), and ‘The Breakfast Club’ – notably Charlamagne and DJ Envy – many of whom she accuses of fuelling and choo-choo’ing “The Nicki Hate Train.”

This morning on Power 105.1, The Breakfast Club weighed-in. And while they were endorsing of the femcee (expressing that they love Onika), Charlamagne warned that she needs to stop claiming everyone’s against her, so as not to become “Rap’s Mo’Nique.” Yikes.
