Nicki Minaj Blames Kylie Jenner & Spotify on Twitter After Her “Queen” Album Debuted No. 2 on Billboard 200

Nicki Minaj lost the race to no. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and she took to her Twitter to slam and drag everyone from Kylie Jenner to Spotify.

Her album Queen debuted at no. 2 on the chart with 185,000 units (78,000 in pure sales), following behind Travis Scott’s Astroworld which which moved 205,000 units (78, 000 in pure sales).

This rattled Nicki, because she first Scott’s ‘bundles’ — clothing, concert tickets and other merchandise sold via his official store, and bundled with sales of his album — which were promoted on Instagram by his partner Kylie Jenner.

“Travis Scott sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. I spoke to him. He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA!”

Next, she called out Jenner for promoting her babydaddy’s tour, before adding that she wasn’t mad though. “I’m actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries.”

As though that was not enough, she turned her rage on Spotify, blaming the streaming giant for a lack of promotion. She claims they punished her for debuting her new music on her ‘Queen Radio’ Apple Music special.

And there’s a slight Drake diss in between all of this.
