Nicki Minaj took to instagram to clear rumors that surfaced claiming Nicki bragged about “making female rap mainstream”. Unfortunately blogs don’t do real research, they exist only to make money, with little to no journalistic experience, thus creating a wave of lies that Nicki Minaj had to address. TheBLACKMedia is not a blog, we are a Black owned publication delivering real journalism and truth, so when we saw Nicki’s response, we had to make sure you did too.

“Now, if you can find the part where I said “I made female rappers mainstream”, I’ll give you $100,000.00″

Nicki says she never said she made female rap mainstream, and that she never would because she’s aware of the greats that came before her. Unfortunately the damage has already been done, and for many they’ll never see her post, this article, or anyone else’s and forever have in their mind that she may have said this. It’s moments like these that make you think, shouldn’t blogs be held in contempt for the lies they spew for clicks? I think so, here’s what Nicki Minaj had to say.

Nicki Minaj On Female Rap:

"I see ppl remixing my words so let me post "exactly" what I said for the intelligent ones in the back. Now, if you can find the part where I said "I made female rappers mainstream", I'll give you $100,000.00. ? blogs & tv shows don't care to do actual research these days, they only care about what grabs your attention... at anyone's expense. 


Imagine me saying I made female rappers mainstream when there were so many women who already had platinum albums under their belts. ? Lauryn sold 10 million off one album, Eve had platinum singles w/Alicia, Gwen Stefani, her own tv show & clothing line. It doesn't get more mainstream/pop than Missy's biggest singles. Foxy&Kim had platinum albums & shaped the sound of NY female rappers, Latifah had her own sitcom, Trina was on billboard with hits, etc-? I appreciate the love but I never said that. ??? 

Now what I DID say is right here for anyone w/their own brain to decipher words on their own. I know it's hard in the social media band wagon era, but try. It's fun. ?. When I came out, there had been a drought of a few years where NO female rap album had gone platinum, females weren't getting budgets, the industry did NOT believe in the female rapper anymore. They had stopped generating MONEY for labels. Ask any rap historian or just anyone with a brain. These are facts and nothing but the facts. So I "REINTRODUCED" the "successful" female rapper back to POP CULTURE.

Showed big business we were major players in the game just like the boys were. ♥️?? love you guys for holding me down but what's true is true & whats not is just simply not. ? update your blogs & tv shows with what I actually said please ??. I can't believe this lil interview made it to tv. Haha. See u guys on tour next year. I got a cpl BIG surprises. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" - Nicki Minaj
