Nicki Minaj Tells HOT 97 Not to Play Her Music Anymore

In what seems to be a teeter-totter relationship, Nicki Minaj and New York’s HOT 97 are butting heads once again. After reestablishing their relationship during the annual Summer Jam concert, Nicki is now blaming the station and radio show host Peter Rosenberg for her very poor album sales, therefore she doesn’t want the station playing her music anymore.

After comments made by Rosenberg a few months ago, Nicki says her career has suffered a severe backlash from loss of fans to the 36K opening sales of The Re-Up. HOT 97′s Program Director, Ebro, has stepped in to give a more clear explanation and even share the phone call between himself and Minaj.

“I said, ‘Rosenberg ruined Nicki Minaj’s career’ – evidence suggests based on this Re-Up release, the things [Rosenberg] said about her being pop and selling out and making that pop music came back to haunt her,” he said. “Now, she puts six rap records on this album and it didn’t sell…I get the phone call, the international number pops up, I answer the call, it’s my friend Nicki Minaj, who then starts to proclaim how I’m fake. She used every woman’s stab she could – ‘I thought you were a man, you’re a cornball, I thought we were friends, you’re fake, everyone told me you were fake’…I said, ‘Nicki, I’m helping you. I’m keeping you in the Hip Hop conversation. This Hip Hop thing’s a competition; you’re either ringing, or you’re not, and just like I said yesterday, i love you, boo and I’ll dust you off and make sure this thing is popping off again.’ And she goes, ‘Don’t ever play my music again’…of course we are [still playing Nicki Minaj], I love Nicki Minaj.”

    She released an album that had a good 75% of the songs that was on her first album. She couldn’t possibly think that was a good idea or that her sales would be the same as they were before. Fans or not, logical people aren’t going to buy something that they already have just because it was tweaked a little bit. Sorry, she’s not Apple and her album was not the iphone 5. Before making a move like that, you must be way more established. That’s my humble opinion though.

    • RealKingPush

      How cruel? Have you seen Nicki? She is not a nice person by any means, listen to the interview on the breakfast club recently…She doesn’t understand you shouldn’t attack people who made her

    This is so much bull shit omg wtf there is like no facts at all who the fuck is that guy he talks shit! And y’all forget to mention this is a rerelease and it has sold more than any other rerelease ever!!!

    • RealKingPush

      You’re making up facts now, this horrendous album has not sold more than any re-release ever…It wasn’t even the highest selling re-release THIS YEAR.

      Get your facts right if you’re going to speak.

    so… peter rosenberg is the reason why no one wanted to purchase this reshuffled album? i guess we’re all supposed to look past the fact that the music is wack.

  • nico

    nicki is straight trash she bought into all the lies she got told when she got into the game she has a way with words but i think her creativity is wearing off she cant come with the new shit and you know what that means right? that hoes finished … str8 goodz

    • RealKingPush

      Couldn’t agree more with this

    Ya’ll still know NIcki Minaj not only still has her career in music , but a career in television, and most importantly a BRAND ! Please #SITDAFUCKdown .

    • RealKingPush

      But that career in music is on the decline…And then it won’t be surprising when her BRAND is done with…American Idol won’t go much longer, her E show didn’t do as well as projected, and in the end did nothing to help her sell albums (which it was for), she has a perfume (good job there)…And then her Brand will come and go…People don’t last long in this industry especially when you back stab people who made you.
