She’s been getting a few things off of her chest lately and Nicki Minaj isn’t slowing down. With a new album on the horizon and the visual to “We Go Up” featuring Fivio Foreign hitting the streets, Minaj has once again been a hot topic in Hip Hop. As her Barbz celebrate seeing more of her on social media, Minaj faces off with naysayers and critics—including Erica Banks and her “Trollz” collaborator, Tekashi 6ix9ine.
On Instagram, the Rap icon shared a video of herself spitting bars earlier on in her career and added a lengthy message about earning her stripes and navigating her career on her own time.
