Nicki Minaj is one of a few artists at Cash Money Records who are in the middle of an unfortunate beef between Birdman and Lil Wayne. In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1's Charlie Sloth (via HotNewHipHop), The Pinkprint rapper said she's hoping for an amicable solution to the dispute. She also addressed some of the other drama involving her and Tyga.
"I don't think it'll ever get to that point," Minaj said about the possibility of Weezy exiting CM. "People know I love Wayne and I have loyalty towards him, but I love Baby too. I'm very close with Baby and I don't think people know that. So I'm banking on the fact that they're going to work this out like family. I mean, they've gone through things before, just like family does. I'm not even going to think that way."
Wayne is currently suing Birdman for mountains of cash, claiming the label owes him a record advance he never received for the long-delayed Tha Carter V.
Minaj then talked about Tyga, who took to Twitter recently and threw shade at the female hip-hop star over the song "Truffle Butter." The tune is included on The Pinkprint and features Drake, but Tyga thought he had dibs on the pop hit.
"The song was on my album, and we don't know how but it magically ended up in Tyga's hands, and I told him, 'That's my song,'" she said. "I told him me and Drake were going to be on it, and low and behold, it leaked with him on it after I told him not to put it out. I thought that was a little bit disrespectful because I had always shown him love."
Tyga later apologized, Minaj said, so the pair is doing fine now. "Truffle Butter" is currently number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, followed by other Pinkprint tracks "Only" (18) and "Feeling Myself" (63).
