Nicki Minaj is gearing up for the release of her new album "Pink Friday 2" and Janet Jackson was recently dragged into a drama after fans accused her of shading the rapper. Today, the musician spoke out and clarified the supposed beef between the two of them.
According to Complex, the alleged issue started earlier this week when the rapper dropped the official album cover of her new album, which will be released later this year.
In the photo, which was heavily praised by her fandom, the female rapper could be seen wearing a white coat standing in a flying train over New York City as the text "Pink Friday 2" could be read on the upper right corner.
The next day, Jackson shared an old photo of herself wearing a white coat as well and a GIF of Marsai Martin wearing her sunglasses.

The "Come On Get Up" hitmaker then broke her silence and replied, writing, "It's a shame that people want to pit one artist against another."
