Nicki Minaj Clashes With Funkmaster Flex

Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj chats with Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97.

Nicki Minaj called into Funkmaster Flex’s show on Hot 97 show this evening and the interview exploded into a major argument. From Minaj quoting inaccurate album sales to Flex yelling on the line, this chat was one of the most vicious showdowns in radio history.

Minaj was intended to perform on Hot 97′s Summer Jam concert this weekend but cancelled her appearance because of host Peter Rosenberg’s diss of her ‘Starships’ single. That incident lead to Flex proclaiming that he will destroy her career in retaliation.

Listen to part one of the Minaj vs Funkmaster Flex interview below:

  Flex is such a biaaatch!!! everything evolves besides hip hop? no wonder blacks are slow to catch up with other races…fashion, television, even other music genres have evolved…Nicki never mind them, they are losers! Did anybody check if this flex guy( who i hate btw) had a real dick??or does he have a punani? old man, it’s time to hang it up….

  …maaaaaaannnn they both wrong…

  Flex punked out like no other and ultimately Nicki won this “argument”. He knew all day he was going to speak w/ her and came w/ no solid argument. Flex is definitely bitch made.
  
  It’s great that people who paid to see her will get a free show as she stated and we all can move on from this fakery.

  She is actually not as disgusting as her music/fake personas!

  Nicki minaj sold 253k in its first week. Its on the verge of going gold with 492k after 2 months. Lets look at some other artists and compare.
  
  -Rick Ross (Teflon Don): 173k ..2 years after its release it was certified gold
  -J Cole: 218k…gold after 4 months
  -Wale: 164k…still not gold after 7 months
  -Rhianna too(talk that talk): 198k first week with talk that talk
  -Big Sean: 87k…only sold 3.25 in the US.
  How could ANYONE deny that nicki is doing her thing, selling records, GETTING CAKE!? Only female rapper in the game and shes selling and out doing the boys. Smh at delusional, uninformed haters.

  I love Nicki. she screams role model, Queen, and Real G !!! at the end of the day, Nicki Minaj is one of the top artist out there, and she will not take disrespect to no one. say what you want about starships, but it’s 4x plat.

- Deschanel Forman
  
  lets do facts shall we…according to billborard her album sold 295,000 records… thats enough to get gold… starships is not platinum…didnt even reach platinum.
  
  she make new yorkers look bad. i am a new yorker and i can rap better than this whore… shame that rap music went this sour. she isnt hip hop…this airhead bitch swaggerjacking lil kim.
  
  listen up to all the people whose IQ’s are above 120. donot argue with nicki minaj fan’s their IQ’s are lower than 120 and they dont understand much at all…these are kids. scientifically able to back up my fact of how much they dont know about music at all. thats why airhead bitches like nicki minaj are able to be everywhere. because theyre like cancer cells…we need radiation to get rid of these people.
  
  we need lil kim back out. and i dont respect lauryn hills crazy ass wanna be rastafari and shit. and foxy brown is doo doo brown chick and a stupid hoe. fuck these rappers in order for them to get big they gotta ride on the coaktails of this airhead!!!
  
  New Yorkers are known for saying how they feel…thats why lil kim had missy, drita, jim jones and the whole new york behind her at her concert and it sold out more than that summerjam show because she is a proud new yorker and she says how the fuck she feel… period…
  
  #teamfuckminajandherfans… airhead hoes!

  @Deschanel Forman
  lol Naw ma…lets do the FACTS! “Billborard” sent you off! lol Her album sold 295k in its FIRST WEEK. 295000 is NOT gold so…what are you talking about? Its up to 490k after 2 months. Starships is 4x platinum in Australia, 2x platinum in the US and New Zealand, and Gold in Sweden. All that IQ and you dont know your facts? lol Without Nicki, you wouldnt want kim, fox, or missy back! Nicki put interest back in female rappers.
  - Deschanel Forman
    
    @ dee… actually no nicki minaj didnt make females irrelevant… im sorry but I have been listening to lil kim even before nicki minaj became big… ive been listening to thiw women for 15 years thank you very much… you sound scientifically dumb as fuck!!! honestly… Rollingstone magazine and other music enthusiasist called her album a FLOP…. okay not me… and billboard also claimed her album is a FLOP… okay not me once again… sorry but nicki didnt make lil kim and missy relevant… im sorry but get your shit straight… okay… and no STARSHIPS DID NOT GO PLATINUM IN THE U.S OR IN THE AUSTRAILIA… I GOT THE FACTS RIGHT HERE…
    
    according to the associated press in austrailia… Nicki Minaj Single Starships did not reach platinum like fans wouldve hoped for. It didnt even reach platinum status in the U.S
    
    okay so i proved my point… nicki minaj never made me listen to kim or even want her back out… period… nicki minaj is a bitter female airhead bitch… why would any female see competition with that… the older generation of female rappers dont even like her… fuck foxy brown and lauryn hill because lauryn hill became irrelveant after 1999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay seriously… Lil kim has been relevant after the 90′s her last album the naked truth was 5X platinum and she is the only female in hip hop to recieve 5 MICS… which is a huge and the biggest honor hip hop has to offer… lil kim has more grammys and album sales proceeds than nicki and for your dumb ass to comment and say nicki is better than kim… hahahahahahahaha…. i laughs out loud at you dumb bitches… here is kims accomplishments and try to compare her and nicki’s okay

    oh yeah and compare nicki’s accomplishments considering the fact that she only has 4 years in the game… oh yeah… I like to see is she surpases her… uh I dont think so because she is a fad… she will be gone..(THANK GOD FOR THAT)
- CHINA
  
  This weak ass animated Giff needs to sit in a Roman Coliseum and let the gladiators be-head her, Martha, and Roman if she thinks for one minute that she is doing hip hop.
  Who is saying that Nicki is selling, yea right. Adele sold more during the Grammy Weekend than Nicki’s first week sales. As for a single going platinum that means absolutely nothing, when her album goes platinum then you can come back and brag!
- trulo
  
  sorry nicki and flex are two weak bitches… 1. nickis roman revenge cd is considered a flop period.. fuck album sells.. ( even though it hasnt even gone gold yet after almost 3 months) but the cd has been reviewed by majority of music… not (hiphop) but MUSIC publicatioins as being a fail. 2. why didnt nicki do her interview with rosenberg? after all that is the person that dissed her song. answer: is because rosenberg is not on YMCM payroll like flex is. 3. why is nicki bringing gender into the convo.. face the fact starship was a POP song. its a fact and it was weak. get over it. 4. she needs to grow some big girl bones… she cries and wines to much. 5. she is the WRONG face female hip hop she is very weak minded and her brainwashed fans think she is coming off as strong. If she REAL she wouldve hit that stage and shut up rosenburg and do some hot shit. She always doing dumb shit like this deleting twitter when block to hot..she not built for the industry.. thats all for now.
- TheTruth
  
  I can understand where Nicki’s coming from. What Rosenburg said was totally unprofessional and out of place. He’s a representation of the radio station (that hired her to perform) and to come out and say what he said when she’s headlining is disrespectful not only to Nicki but to Hot 97 (his employers) and the fans who bought tickets to Summer Jam in hopes of seeing. The same ticket sales that help to pay his wage. It’s hypocritical.
  
  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a Nicki fan but everyone should be given respect regardless, especially on a public platform.
- Bailey
  
  all Nicki had to do was go on stage and prove all the haters wrong. she did not have to listen to Wayne. Tyga sure as hell didn’t. this whole situation is immature. there are artists are ALWAYS go against their “president” especially when they feel strongly about something. like someone said Simon Cowell said what he said about Beyonce and instead of responding she went and performed her heart out. that’s all Nicki had to do. Rosenberg tld the truth. Starships is BS and it’s not real hip hop. if she felt disrespected by that then she shld release music that represents the genre she claims to be, hip hop. u can’t be queen of hip hop and not even do hip hop music.

  Rosenberg was unprofessional for saying what he said at that time but so was Wayne and Nicki for pulling out of the show. But my issue with Nicki is her audacity of trying to make it a feminist type of issue. So, a man can’t have an opinion on her but a man can control her movements and teach her about her self worth. How can someone else teach you about your own worth? She wasn’t thinking about her worth when she was calling herself Wayne’s mistress. She wasn’t thinking about the worth of women when she was dissing the old female rappers. How dare she expect respect when she doesn’t give it to anyone else? So this excuse of knowing her worth is straight b.s. I don’t believe that is the issue. I think that she’s hiding behind Wayne. I’m sure that she has gone against his wants before.
  
  And she said that her name sold a lot of tickets for the Summer Jam. So how is it even possible for Rosenberg’s comments to even remotely rally the crowd against her. If her fans made up a majority of the crowd, how would they be against her at all?
  
  At the end of the day, she along with Hot 97 collectively are at fault. It doesn’t matter what is said and how you feel. Leave those feelings at the door. You were commissioned to do a show, people paid to see you and you should’ve showed up and showed out regardless of 1 person’s disdain for a song.
  
  On to her sales: everyone knows that gold certification is based on shipments not sales so how can she not be gold. She does not need to sell 500k in order to be certified. She should’ve gone gold long ago because I’m sure that her label has sent out 500k copies. She says that she’s selling videos and singles but what about albums, girl? How are you going to get those albums off the shelf?

  Nicki is a bum bitch, she always tries to play the feminist card when all she does is drag down other women in the industry. And Flex is another bitch letting her get away with her shit all over the radio, If Nicki gave a fuck about her fans (which she’s proven time and again she doesn’t) she would have gone on stage and attempted to perform not gone to some dumb party with FLOPSY Brown just to throw another subliminal at Lil Kim.
  - Deschanel Forman
    
    exactly….idgaf what nicki says…honestly she did that whole performing with foxy brown and lauryn hill just to throw a subliminal diss at kim…which she didnt succeed to because the whole new york wouldve shut thisbitch down… Lil Kim kicked off her concert in New York and had the whole city behind her including missy and drita and the whole hip hop community!!!! this is a fact. now Im a new yorker and I feel disrespected that this airhead bitch claim she is hip hop but sold out to the mainstream audience…seriously…this bitch aint hood nor tough… she talkin bout she “beez in the trap” lol no this bitch dont… she dont even be in New York City selling bricks and shit… I wish she would stop lying and quit swaggerjacking kim…How the fuck is all these fans going to say nicki got her own style while she dressing and acting just like Lil Kim… and her lyrics are the same shit lil Kim rapped… the only thing is she is not good at imitation at all. she sucks at it… period.
- Jim Turner
  
  If u gonna talk about Lil Kim album sales put facts up. Hard Core 2X platinum. Year to date Double Diamond 20x platinum Notorious K.I.M 1X Platinum. Year to date 6X Platinum. La Bella Mafia 1X Platinum. Year to date 5x Platinum. The Naked Truth 490k Year To Date 3X Platinum. Don’t even get me started on singles cuz they all did good except no matter what they say. The Dance Remixes 2x platinum. Junior Mafia Conspiracy 500k Year To Date 3X Platinum. This will never be updated because she left Atlantic years ago she is no Lo.get on the roster so they font pay for her platinum and gold plaques. Yall need to stay off wikepedia and whatever else the general public can see
