Whether you feel like Nicki and Flex set the rumors straight in their recent Hot 97 Interview about Nicki’s Summer Jam cancellation, one this is for sure, Peter Rosenberg isn’t apologizing for his statements. Despite the fact that fans all over have asked Rosenberg to say he was sorry, all he seems to want to say is this, “I’ll never go back on that. Why would I apologize? Do you know how many worse things I’ve said than that?” He did, however, request that Nicki call him personally so they two of them could hash it out. I just hope it all gets settled soon. The interview is above just in case you wanna hear exactly how Rosenberg explains himself.
The Hot 97 interview with Funkmaster Flex and Nicki Minaj got pretty hot and heavy last night, but I’m sure we all knew that wouldn’t be the end all be all of the discussion. This morning, Nicki got a little hungry and joined the New York Power 105 Breakfast Club for a bite of AM drama concerning her cancelled Summer Jam Performance. “What I don’t do is perform in a place that doesn’t respect me,” Nicki said during the interview. She also wanted it to be known that she is in no way attempting to start beef between the two New York stations. You can listen to the entire interview above
Its getting hot in here…and by here I the studio where Nicki Minaj and Funkmaster Flex are currently going at it over the Summer Jam Fiasco that took place yesterday. Nicki feels oh so offended by being attacked over a decision that was made by someone else. She was only obeying the President of her label. However she does present a great point, no one attacked Lil Wayne. All shots were taken directly at Nicki. Flex says he’s not scared of Wayne. He did admit that he felt as if even though Wayne didn’t want her to perform, she could have done it for the fans who bought tickets. If you want to hear the entire interview, listen here.
This was the plan. For history to be made during the Nicki Minaj performance at this year’s Summer Jam festival but by the time the time of her performance drew near, the whole performance was a wrap. Here’s what happened.
Well, it all started with Peter Rosenberg who made a comment on-air during the Summer Jam pre-show (Hot 97). He said, “Shout out to all my real hip-hop heads and none of these Starship artists.” The actual video of that comment can be seen above. Then, Mr. YMCMB, Lil Wayne tweeted
This left America wondering what exactly had taken place. Well, Wayne took offense from Rosenberg’s statement and pulled the plug on the remainder of the Young Money performances that evening; by this time, Tyga had already performed.
Well, Nicki fans then began to weigh in on her cancelled performance and she took to twitter to defend the decision and show that Young Money is most definitely loyal to one another.
Now, fans weren’t the only ones voicing their opinions on the cancelled appearance. Funkmaster Flex of Hot 97 weighed in too during his appearance on the turntables.
Now, while no names were dropped, Flex does refer to albums not selling and commercial rappers. Was he siding with Rosenberg on this one? But if Flex is Flex, you can guarantee that he will clear up all the confusion on his show tonight.
Lil Kim also decided to share her opinion on the performance as it was scheduled. Apparently, Nicki was slated to bring out Foxy Brown and Azealia Banks; which would explain the “History” that Nicki was speaking on making in her tweet earlier in the day. The irony is, all three of these female rappers have beef with the Queen Bee. Kim tweeted “Hot damn ho here we go again. Monkey see monkey do. I heard the haters are joining forces against the Queen. LMAO!” She then told Nicki break a leg but followed up with this.
“My love for the female hip hop movement has always been genuine. All the females I’ve been bringing out recently I have love for. If u see anybody else doing it. Its not genuine. Know it’s only to copy and compete with me. For those of u who have been brainwashed by the fraud. Let’s open our eyes now people. The clone is not bringing ladies out for the luv.”
With all that being said, Nicki has been on twitter all day, clearing up the discrepancies from the entire issue. She is however being very classy about the entire situation and deciding to take the high road.
Fresh off the heels of the huge MMG Press Conference yesterday, Diddy made another announcement that further extends his brand. Funkmaster Flex is now the newest Ciroc Boy. Flex is now joining the ranks of Diddy, Rick Ross, French Montana, Fabolous, and DJs like DJ Drama and DJ Envy as brand ambassadors for the Vodka. Diddy made an appearance on Flex’s show on Hot 97 to share the news. This all comes very shortly after Flex’s partnership with Grey Goose Vodka ended. Diddy and Flex both promise big things in the future from their new partnership. Watch the video of the official announcement above.
