The Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj released her album “Queen” on August 10th of this year. It was her first album in four years that she released. She debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 200 Charts. Selling over 185,000 copies, which is pretty good for a four year layoff.
Travis Scott spent his second week at number one on the billboard charts. Nicki Minaj was upset that she debuted at number two. Nicki frustration lead her to make some tweets, that came off petty for Travis Scott success. Nicki accused Travis Scott for using his daughter and baby mother to boost his album sales for his second week.

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 much

I 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.

Nicki Minaj can’t hate the player, she has to hate the game. Travis Scott came out with a genius roll out plan for his album with merch. Nicki Minaj can’t be mad either because she tried to do the Nicki Minaj x Virgil Abloh collab with merch midweek to boost her album sales. She was expected to do around 120K to 150K first week. She did 185,000 first week with a four year layoff. She should just be thankful and happy that she is able to do numbers like that after taking so many years off.
Nicki Minaj also came after Travis Scott on her Beats 1 “Queen Radio” show on Apple Music.

Nicki Minaj has postponed her entire North American tour, a decision that affects more than two dozen scheduled shows, music promoter Live Nation announced Tuesday.
The decision – attributed to Minaj wanting to “reevaluate elements of production” – followed reports that ticket sales for the scheduled concerts, in support of her new album, “Queen,” were far below expectations.
