Is Kmart dispensing some bargain brand shade? Let the Barbz tell it the answer is “yes.”

Shade or maybe coincidence, an unofficial account (@KmartFashions) took to Twitter today – amidst Nicki Minaj having the worst day ever after a recently released diss track from Remy Ma – to reveal the retail giants will be discontinuing sales of her collection of clothing due to “dramatically low sales.”

Nicki Minaj wasn’t exactly lovin’ recent comments made by her ‘Touchin, Lovin’ co-star Trey Songz when he weighed in on the blistering beef between her and the rapstress Remy Ma.

As the internet is still catching its breath from Ma’s monstrous ‘Shether’ – a direct clap back at subliminal shots taken by Minaj – a line from the diss track alleges Songz engaged in a sexual encounter with the ‘Harajuku Barbie.’

Needless to say, the Young Money maven wasn’t pleased when the singer’s first response was not him denying the claim.  See the exchange inside:

Though sales of her latest LP ‘The Pinkprint’ have stalled around the 700,000 units point mark, Nicki Minaj continues to stand as one of the highest-selling artists to have debuted within the last decade…sans streams.

Indeed, with ticket, single, album and merchandising sales that see her dwarf Pop stars and Hip-Hop veterans alike, the rapper’s gargantuan brand has now become the standard for success for anyone hoping to assert themselves as a market leader in her field.

Alas, one of these artists is the gifted Remy Ma.

For, after releasing a number of cuts which gave many good reason to believe she had a bone to pick with Minaj, industry fanatics set their sights on the release of her new studio album to see just how loyal her fanbase was.
