Nicki Minaj appears to have addressed Wack 100’s recent comments about her latest album, Pink Friday 2. In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on January 6, the Queens rapper seemingly responded to Wack’s assertion that the album has not had the media-breaking impact that was claimed. Minaj asked her fans, “Barbz did we break any records?”—a comment likely aimed at addressing the criticism about the album’s performance.
Wack 100, a prominent figure in the industry, made headlines when he suggested that while Nicki Minaj has an extensive catalog of work, Cardi B has surpassed her in terms of impact. He questioned whether the album was breaking any records, stating, “I don’t know about no breaking no records because ain’t none of those numbers breaking nobody’s records right now. No artist.” While acknowledging Nicki’s extensive career, he pointed out that in terms of current relevance, Cardi B is ahead.
Nicki Minaj’s Confidence and Persona
The back-and-forth comes shortly after Nicki Minaj laughed off accusations that she is a “bully.” In an interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1, published on January 4, Minaj discussed the persona she portrays through her music versus her real-life self. She humorously acknowledged her role as the antagonist in the public eye, saying, “They’ve made me the bad guy, so I’ve welcomed the challenge. You know why? It’s because I know I can accept that challenge. None of them can.”
Minaj further stated that her rap persona, which can be fierce and confrontational, is part of her job. She joked about making fun of her critics, adding, “If it means making fun of these hoes – why the fuck not?”
Future Plans and ‘FTCU’ Remix Tease
On the music front, Nicki Minaj hinted at working on a remix of “FTCU” from Pink Friday 2. In a now-deleted post from January 3, she teased the idea of featuring a male rapper on the track’s third verse. She engaged her fans by asking, “If there were a male rapper featured on the 3rd verse of ‘FTCU,’ who would be your guess?” This playful post generated excitement among her dedicated fanbase as they eagerly await more music from the star.
While the drama surrounding Pink Friday 2 continues, Minaj’s confident approach to both her music and public image shows that she is unbothered by the criticism, embracing the challenge of staying on top in the competitive rap industry.
