Culture Nicki Minaj compares herself to Harriet Tubman, blames an infant and Spotify for not charting at #1 - Pink PR Nightmare

Spoiler: Who's Nicki Minaj?

Nicki Minaj is a Lil Wayne protégé. She's like Drake, only female and significantly less popular in comparison. Despite all her videos totaling to 3.4 billion YouTube views, she is mostly known for four things:

• Sex appeal. Inevitable in her field.
• Cringy songs and equally cringy music videos.
• One guest verse she did on a Kanye West song that every basic white hoe think is impressive to recite.
• Fetuses that "like" her old songs (Super Bass and Stupid Hoe, most notably) ironically. Kinda like the High School Musical of rap.

Nicki Minaj was criticized Monday after she compared herself to Harriet Tubman ahead of her appearance at the Video Music Awards.

Minaj first sparked controversy after she mentioned the historic abolitionist in a tweet. The rapper has been on a Twitter rampage since accusing Spotify of not properly promoting her album “Queen” because it was released on Apple Music’s Beats 1 station “Queen Radio” 10 minutes early.

“All the QUEENS I remember, SHOOK S--- UP!!!!!!!! Queen of the week may go to HARRIET TUBMAN!!!!!! Had she just sat there & ate her rice, you n----- history would’ve been a lot less triumphant,” Minaj tweeted just before 3:00 p.m. EST.

She doubled down on her stance when TMZ caught her leaving her hotel Monday night. When asked about her tweet, Minaj says, “I am the new Harriet Tubman.”

Many fans slammed the rapper for comparing herself to Tubman, who helped free slaves through the Underground Railroad before the Civil War.

“Please Leave Harriet Tubman out of this! That’s way out of your league sis,” one user wrote.

Another person tweeted, “When you think your tweet is deep but it’s really shallow lol.”

“Nah Harriet Tubman was a real Queen who inspired her people to do something if anything you're a scullery maid dumbing down the masses. Don't compare yourself to a real icon who actually stands for something,” another person said.

Many fans shared gifs showing their disapproval of the comparison.

Minaj attempted to clarify her statement Monday evening with a second tweet, saying “I said what I said.”

“Y’all I had no idea Harriet Tubman was now trending. I said what I said,” Minaj wrote. “#QueenRadio will honor her tmrw. She [Tubman] said she could’ve rescued more slaves had they known they were slaves. I fought for streaming services to count toward billboard when alotta n----- stayed quiet.”

Minaj performed during Monday night’s VMA at New York City’s Oculus. She also won the award for “Best Hip Hop Award.”

This wasn't the first time in recent days that Minaj has used her Twitter for an airing of personal grievances. As previously reported, the star got into a very public spat with her ex of 12 years, Safaree Samuels, after he alleged she assaulted him. Soon after, she focused her attention on complaints about her album not performing well.

Yesterday, Nicki Minaj took to Twitter to express her frustrations that her new album, Queen, which released on August 10, didn't rank as number one, but Travis Scott's latest release, Astroworld, did. What made matters worse was that Scott had promotion help from his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, who has 113 million followers on Instagram alone.

"Travis sold over 50K of these," Minaj tweeted with a screenshot of Jenner's Instagram of Scott's tour poster. "With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. I spoke to him. He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries."

FYI, Minaj was referencing Jenner's Instagram post from a few days ago, where she said she and Stormi are "ready for tour," hinting that they'll be joining Travis Scott on the road.

She added another shoutout to Jenner: "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."

Minaj also claimed she didn't get fair promotion from Spotify, even though the streaming service had ubiquitous ads for Drake's new album, Scorpion, when it dropped in June. The promo was so saturated some users called it "spam."

"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," Minaj tweeted. "Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time."

Minaj added that her label didn't even defend her against Spotify in fear that it would sabotage the release of Ariana Grande's album, Sweetener, which dropped on Friday. (Minaj and Grande are both under Republic Records.)

The rapper also pointed out that her situation reflects how women in general are taken advantage of or not taken seriously in their workplaces.

Minaj ended with a tweet saying her statements were just "sarcasm/dry humor." She finished with two words: "Loosen up."

 

[Iodised Ant]

Is she the one who dresses up like Megaman and Street Fighter?

Kinda

 

[ZehnBoat]

and i'm the exact same as teddy roosevelt (even though i spend 99% of my free time posting on kiwifarms)

shitpost softly and carry a big dox

i think that's what he said once

 

[Jarilo182]

((((Rapper))))

If she didn't end up sucking the right dick a few years ago, she'd just be another black chick with a fake ass doing porn.

Same with Cardi B and Bhad Bhabie. But hey, selling yourself and being a hoe is "empowering" now, god forbid a non-sexualized woman dares step into the industry.

 

[Y2K Baby]

She should replace Andrew Jackson on the five dollar bill.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

People actually buy Nicky Minge's music?

 

[jebsurge]

Harriet Tubman risked her life to free her people. Nicki Minaj makes shitty rap music.

 

[GethN7]

Harriet Tubman risked her life to free her people. Nicki Minaj makes shitty rap music.

It gets better. She was also a victim of a traumatic injury early in life that left her prone to randomly passing out and prone to fits of delirium, but she didn't let that stop her from being one of the most badass conductors of the Underground Railroad.

When Minaj can make nearly three dozen trips back and forth into enemy territory and liberate several hundred people while making a mockery of the institution of human bondage DESPITE having a crippling lifelong handicap, then she can talk about being remotely fit to wear Harriet Tubman's shoes.

 

[Dysnomia]

I thought Travis Scott was one of those dindus that got shot by the police?

Anyway, much ado about nothing. But bitch be comparing herself to Harriet Tubman because her record isn't #1. Heffa got coins. She ain't no slave.

Spoiler alert: Nicki's hugging a registered sex offender.

And yes, her brother's a pedo. I read what he did to that girl and honestly, I think that the death penalty should be implemented in cases like this. The girl was his stepdaughter and he raped her for years. His excuse? That she wanted him to. He told this girl that she wanted him while he raped her. Jelani Maraj threatened the girl's 8 year old brother when he tried to rescue his sister from being abused.

The children were kept silent in fear for years while this gelatinous blob preyed on the girl whenever he wanted. I find it hard to believe that the mother didn't know.

Jelani claims he never touched the girl despite DNA evidence saying otherwise.

Nicki Minaj’s Opens a New Window. brother has been convicted of sexually assaulting his former stepdaughter when she was just 11 years old, RadarOnline.com can report.

Jelani Maraj, 38, now faces life in prison following his conviction in Nassau New York County Court on a felony charge of predatory sexual assault on a child.

As Radar has reported, Maraj was accused of raping the child repeatedly Opens a New Window. while her mother was at work. According to the original indictment, the acts began on April 1, 2015, and continued until November 30, 2015, just one day before his arrest.

According to reports, the girl, now 14, testified Maraj would call her “his puppet” and told her she “wanted it to happen.” She claimed he would also slap her in the face if she refused his advances.

The girl’s brother, who was just 8 years old at the time Opens a New Window. , testified he saw Maraj’s “private parts” touching his sister. He said when Maraj confronted him a short time later, the sicko slapped him across the face, and threatened he would never see his mother again if he told anyone what happened.

During the month long trial, Maraj countered by claiming it was all an elaborate lie in an effort to extort millions from Minaj and her family, but the jury didn’t buy it.

Maraj was handcuffed and taken from the courtroom after the verdict to await his sentencing.

Nicki should be more worried about pressing matters with her family. The days of caring that your album is no. 1 should be long over. That was big back when the radio and MTV mattered. She's already a household name. She's just manufacturing drama to boost her album sales. Wow it must be good if Nicki Minaj has to cry foul that it's not no. 1!

This is like that stupid Beyonce drama from the 2017 Grammys. Beyonce already has like dozens of Grammys for her trash music. Does she really need another album of the year? Who even cares about the Grammys in 2017 or even now? It's just drama to boost sales and get their names in the news.

 

[Splendid]

she'd just be another black chick with a fake ass doing porn.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

I honestly thought she was MC Chris the first time I heard her rapping.

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

Let's Compare:

Tubman:

Was beat within an inch of her life as a young slave and suffered sirzures from that beating

Risked her life to free slaves

Left an idelible mark on history
​

Minaj:

Responsible for liberating ugly, black whores from their clothes

Coopted Asian cultures for profit

Bleached her skin, got fake tits and ass.

​

I see it

​

 

[Archeops]

Steven Universe always picks the best VAs.

And this only makes it harder for Sugar to bring Sugilite back without recasting the role.

Well... That and supporting her kiddy-diddlying brother, CN isn't a big fan of supporting sexual predators (even if it was brought on by a bout of mental illness) unlike Nick.

I mean, they're both niggers so they all look alike.

I kid, I kid.

I thought the injury was a weight from a scale was thrown at a fleeing slave and clocked Tubman square in her forehead. I knew she was a slave to a lady who would whip her if the mistress' baby cried at night. Tubman had to stay up and rock the baby's cradle to ensure it didn't cry. If it did, the lady who owned her was apparently so good at nailing her, she'd just whip her from her bed in the dark.

Kinda fucked up to compare so no-talent ass clown nigress to a woman who liberated herself and then came back to liberate a shitload of people.

 

[Hummingbird]

This isn't her first brat moment when she claimed that the industry doesn't like "black women with natural bodies" because Anaconda wasn't nominated for video of the year.

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

What a worthless privileged crybaby.

 

[Derp Potato]

Can she just release her damn sex tape while she's still decent enough to look at already?

Preferably w/ a white guy. I don't like the BBC.

 

[Haramburger]

Is she the one who dresses up like Megaman and Street Fighter?

>has a track called "Chun Li"
>lyrics have nothing to do with Street Fighter

disappointed AF

I suspect her "Harriett Tubman" delusions stem from the time she offered to pay off a bunch of twitter kid's student loans in a random conversation one day. Honestly it was great PR for her but this, not so much.

 

[drtoboggan]

People actually buy Nicky Minge's music?

I’m calling her Nicky Minge now.

 

[Uncle Warren]

Remember when nicki minaj smuggled thousands of slaves by shoving them in her ass?

 

[Ronald Crump]

This isn't her first brat moment when she claimed that the industry doesn't like "black women with natural bodies" because Anaconda wasn't nominated for video of the year.

My sister made me listen to that once before, I've never been more triggered.
