Nicki Minaj is absolutely furious now that her album Queen has lost the number 1 spot to Travis Scott. She has expressed her disdain all over social media platforms. And even dragged Travis Scott’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner and their baby daughter Stormi into it.
It seems that Nicki Minaj is unable to to handle the number 2 spot. Now that Travis Scott’s Astroworld in number 1 in the United States, Minaj is aiming at Kylie Jenner as being responsible for it’s success. In a series of rants on Twitter, she suggested that it was Kylie Jenner’s massive fan following behind Travis’s profile.
Nicki Minaj said that she poured her blood and sweat in writing her new album. But all it took for Travis Scott to be more successful was Kylie Jenner’s update asking people to come see her and Stormi in his next tour. She further added that Queen was number 1 in 86 other countries. And she was very thankful to her fans for it.
I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. lol. Im actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans.

In another tweet, Nicki Minaj expressed her outrage on another one of Kylie Jenner’s promotion posts. Recently, Kylie made a post on Instagram linking fans to Travis’s online store. And apparently, Scott was able to sell 50,000 units only because of it. The Queen rapper also added that she spoke to Travis Scott, and he knows he does not have the #1 spot this week.
Travis 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! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries ♥️ pic.twitter.com/CiYEuczgm3

Nicki Minaj even expressed that Spotify was not favoring her album. And all because they wanted to teach her a lesson for releasing it early. Now that the service has taken her promotion away, she believes the situation is more complicated by Kylie Jenner promising to introduce Stormi to fans on the Astroworld tour.
Spotify put drake’s face on every playlist but told me they’d have to teach me a lesson for playing my music 10 mins early on #QueenRadio. Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time.

Spotify had to teach me a lesson but rewarded the man who has had an Apple radio show the longest; inadvertently helping the Apple platform the most. Oh I can’t wait for #QueenRadio on Tuesday. They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this. #Queen

Now that Nicki Minaj has expressed her indignation for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott, not everybody is buying her rants. A lot of fans replied to her tweets telling her that Astroworld was better than her Queen. And that Travis Scott himself has a huge fan base which could be behind his success.
Girl please, Travis has actual loyal fans who BUY his products. What happened when the whole fam promoted Tyga’s album? He sold like 2k.

Astroworld was better than queen anyway. Queen doesn’t even have one song better Butterfly Effect… and that song is Ight at best and is a year old…

Kylie Jenner also played a Golden Goddess in Travis Scott’s album. It definitely added to its success. Fans are waiting for Kylie or Travis to respond to Minaj’s tantrums but it seems that a response may never come.
