Nicki Minaj Defends Her Response To PnB Rock’s Murder After A Fan Backlash

Nicki Minaj has had a tough go on social media to start the week after her response to the murder of Philadelphia rapper PnB Rock was compared unfavorably to Cardi B’s. While Nicki and Cardi have been on-and-off rivals for a while, the contrast in both of their responses was noted by fans of both, who criticized Nicki for offering advice to fellow rappers along with her condolences to PnB Rock’s friends and family.

“After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” she wrote. “To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus.” Nicki’s response was deemed inappropriate and victim-blaming as fans decried a swiftly spreading theory that the robbers who accosted PnB at Roscoe’s Chicken And Waffles in South Los Angeles were clued in by Instagram posts.

However, one thing Nicki Minaj won’t do is back down. She followed up with a string of responses peppered with all-caps exclamations, emphatically defending her point that entertainers must remain vigilant due to jealousy and greed. “The ppl around these rappers gain so much,” she insisted. “It’s time to start really reminding them over & over!!! At least TRY to put your foot down if you CARE! Tell them!!! You’re not loved like you think you are!!! You’re prey!!!! In a world full of predators!!!! What’s not clicking???!!!”

“It’s never the wrong time!” she continued. “f it saves ONE YOUNG RAPPER!!!! JUST ONE!!!!! THEN WE’VE DONE OUR JOBS!!!!! I spoke on losing our own @ the VMAS!!!! Enough is enough!!!! MY GOD. IDGAF about no fkng hate tweets!!!! Go fuck y’all dumb fkng selves!!!!! Y’all r not the ones that be bawling crying after you just worked with or just spoke to ONE OF YOUR OWN!!!!! I BELONG TO THIS SHIT. IMA FKNG SPEAK ON IT!!!! If it gets attention from y’all being ignorant than so be it!!! At least it’ll save lives. FOH.”

Meanwhile, PnB Rock’s death has prompted mournful responses from plenty of his peers, which you can see here.

Fans Are Comparing Cardi B And Nicki Minaj’s Very Different Reactions To PnB Rock’s Death

Yesterday, PnB Rock died at 30 years old after he was fatally shot at a Roscoe’s Chicken And Waffles diner in Los Angeles. Many in the hip-hop community mourned the rapper’s passing and fans noticed a distinct difference in the messages from two rappers who are constantly pitted against each other: Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

For context, some made note that shortly before RnB Rock’s death, his girlfriend shared a photo of her Roscoe’s meal and tagged her and PnB’s location on Instagram. Some suspect the person who shot RnB Rock saw that and then went to find and shoot the rapper.

Cardi addressed that in her reaction, tweeting, “I highly doubt n****s was looking at PMB’s babymom IG. He was in a bad location and people stay outside plotting. It’s very irresponsible and inconsiderate to blame her for something so tragic. We should be sending nothing but love to her and his family at this time.”

Meanwhile, Nicki’s reaction, shared about 45 minutes after Cardi’s, had a different tone, as she wrote, “After Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts. To show waffles & some fried chicken????! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom & family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus. #SIP #PnbRock [dove emoji].”

Twitter users took exception with Nicki’s approach, with one summarizing, “be like Cardi. Don’t be like Nicki and victim blame PnB Rock’s girlfriend. She’s mourning too [single tear emoji].”

Check out some reactions to Cardi and Nicki’s tweets below.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Bleu And Nicki Minaj Announce A New Collaboration, ‘Love In The Way’

Bleu has something special cooking up. This Friday, the “Your Mines Still” singer is set to drop a new single with Nicki Minaj, titled “Love In The Way.” The two announced the collaboration via social media today.

The song arrives just over a year after Bleu manifested the track via Twitter. “I would love to work with [these artists] in the future,” Bleu said. “I like speaking things in existence, it seems to work.” Among his dream collaborators were The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Anthony Hamilton, and Rihanna, but at the top of his list was none other than Minaj.

As his latest collab may suggest, Bleu has become a go-to guest in the realm of Young Money. In June, he was featured alongside Lil Wayne on a Chris Brown track called “Possessive,” from his most recent album, Breezy. In 2020, his remix of “Your Mines Still,” which featured Drake, proved to be a viral hit.

In an interview with DJ Akademiks, he credited Drake for helping him land a bigger deal at Empire Recordings.

“That’s when I started seeing them real numbers,” he said. “Just to put it into perspective, as soon as the Drake record dropped, I was having bidding wars between $8 and $9 million…This is why I f*ck with Empire because they still had me for another project, so once I did the Drake song, they came back and redid my deal to way more.”

“Love In The Way” is out 9/16 via Empire. Pre-save it here.

Twitter Stamps Akbar V & JT's Verses as the best from Nicki Minaj's 'Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)'

Nicki Minaj surprised fans with a remix to her Hot 100 chart topping singe, “Super Freaky Girl,” on Friday. The Young Money Queen teased the track on Thursday, before its official release, but there was no preview of what was to come from the collaborators. Let’s just say they did not disappoint.

Following Nicki’s original verse, JT set the tone from start to finish with notable bars such as:

Neck frozed all year, cold summer
I'ma bad bitch, get him for his pin numbers

Following JT verse, Bia a.k.a Barbia spits her bars with notable lines such as:

I'm so bad I could touch myself again
Fuck myself like the Clermont twins (Uh)
He wanna fuck on all my friends (Uh)
I'm too rich for an OnlyFans

Katie Got Bandz represents New York with a hard-hitting verse and notable bars:

He like 'em freaky, pussy squeaky
Give me that tongue, make it leaky
I make it wet, nickname Fiji

Akbar V is fourth to take the mic with a number of quotable. She even gets repetition from Nicki herself when she says: “No gag reflex, I ain’t never gonna choke.”

From “I’m cool J take a LL” to “Can’t mention the freak without AK,” Akbar V shows she can captivate listeners with a quick 16.

Malibu Mitch tees up the pitch before Nicki’s verse saying lines such as:

B**ches on my body 'cause it's follow the leader (Uh)
Ni**as on my body 'cause I'm hot like a heater

Nicki Minaj rounds off the Queen Mix in typical Queen fashion.

I ain't talkin' Spanish when I say, "Señorita"
Told that bitch ghost writer, "Yo, send your reader"

While each femcee is impressive with their bars, fans took to Twitter to deem Akbar V and JT’s verses as the top tier amongst the featured guest.

It is Nicki Minaj’s first collaboration with Akbar V, JT, Malibu Mitch and and Katie got Bandsz. It is Bia’s second collaboration in the past year with The Queen after they teamed up for the “Whole Lotta Money” (Remix) back in 2021.

Let us know in the comments if you agree with Twitter’s take on the ranking of the Queen Mix verses.

Nicki Minaj Co-Signs Song Snippet from Akbar V: ‘This S**t Hard AF’

Akbar V is grabbing the ears, eyes and attention spans of rap fans since the release of the “Super Freaky Girl” (Queen Mix) on Friday. She certainly has an avid supporter in the Queen, Nicki Minaj, and the feeling is mutual.

The Love & Hip-Hop ATL reality star took to Twitter over the weekend to join #NickisTeaParty and fired off a couple of public service announcements.

“Just so we clear if u a opp of @NICKIMINAJ or foxy brown then u are a opp of mine I’m done being cordial,” she started, follow by multiple exclamation marks for emphasis. “don’t care too much bout any of y’all anyway … i know y’all don’t really like me …. And I’m ok with that just please stop pretending.”

Akbar V posted a 26-second snippet of a potential “SFG” follow-up. On the snippet, she raps:

I know these bi*ches going dutch 
and you could never check me

The bar certainly caught Nicki’s attention as she complemented the song. Then followed up shortly after with a quoted retweet of the aforementioned lyrics.

Akbar V expressed her gratitude after her “idol” admired the track by quoting her lyrics.

Fans filled up her mentions asking Akbar V to drop the track. Now it is only a matter of time before its official release.

Was Nicki’s approval a potential sign for another collaboration? With the underlying mutual support between the two over the weekend, the possibilities are endless.

Minaj also teased her new track with Bleu entitled, “Love In The Way,” which is set to release this upcoming Friday. Nicki hinted at the track last month with an IG story post as well.
