Nicki Minaj has slammed her former manager and longtime partner Deb Antney after she said she persuaded the rapper to end her feud with Lil Kim.
Antney – who managed rap pioneers like Gucci Mane and her son Waka Flocka Flame – recently spoke about her former client during her interview with Juicy Pop TVThe acclaimed rap authority collaborated with Minaj in 2009 before the Queens rapper signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money/Cash Money Records.
When asked if she tried to get Minaj and Lil Kim to sit down and discuss their issues, Antney said, “I think we’d all like to see that, but people have to be willing to do that. And to be honest, I reached out to Kim and (shook her head).”

Minaj then responded, stating that Antney reached out to Kim of her own accord. She began on X/Twitter: “Deb, isn’t it funny how you left out most of the story?”
She continued: “I didn’t ask you ANYTHING! You told me AFTER THE FACT (and) I SHOUTED OVER YOU (and) told you that if you contact (people) now that you’re seen near me, they’ll THINK it’s FROM ME so don’t EVER do that again (without) talking to me FIRST. I said I would never want that and now she’ll think that message was from me which is not cool.
“You laughed it off (and) said she (and iconic rapper) Foxy (Brown) should come with me, I said ‘No,’” Minaj continued. “I just want Foxy to come on stage with me, she’s like family to me. No disrespect. God bless everybody (and) our kids!!! Let’s all do our thing (and) thank God for LIFE. Stop using my name for clickbait in 2024. We get it!!!!! I’m that bitch!!!!!”
Minaj concluded her tirade by saying, “How dare you? Interviews? Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii WOO WEE!!!!! This world, man, this world.”

In the lengthy post, Minah promoted her business ventures, including her line of stick-on nails Pink Friday Nails, her perfume Pink Friday 2, and her trainer collaboration with Lociwear.
She also reminded fans that she will be embarking on her second North American tour later this year. “Highest grossing tour by a female rapper in history,” Minaj wrote. “Currently top 10 in history. Competing for TOP (three) in history when tour is over. Oh Barbz, I love you so much. Love yourself so much.”

The tour is in promotion of the ‘Chun-Li’ rapper’s latest album, ‘Pink Friday 2’, which she released on her birthday (December 8) last year.
In a four-star review, NME wrote: “’Pink Friday 2′ feels like a consolidation and refinement of everything Minaj can do — including omitting pop culture references that no other artist would think of. (…) Thirteen years after ‘Pink Friday,’ Nicki Minaj hasn’t lost her ability to surprise us.”
Minaj will also headline Wireless Festival 2024 in North London’s Finsbury Park this Friday (July 12).
Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj has cancelled a planned festival appearance in Romania due to “security concerns”.
