Nicki Minaj slammed on social media for comparing herself to Harriet Tubman
Nicki Minaj has been stirring up a Twitter storm off late with her recent lash out at Travis Scott and Spotify after her album 'Queen' failed to hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. The 'Chun Li' rapper accused Scott of inflating his album sales numbers for 'Astroworld' (which currently sits on top of the charts) unfairly and then called Spotify out for not putting her face on every playlist, like the streaming service did with Drake, because she’d premiered her album 10 minutes early on “Queen Radio,” a program she launched on Apple Music’s Beats 1 station ahead of the album.
But it looks like the Queen wasn't done yet. On Monday, Minaj defended her rants by pointing to Harriet Tubman, the famous abolitionist and political activist who led hundreds of slaves to freedom in the 19th century even though there was a bounty on her head. Minaj lauded Tubman as a “Queen of the week", adding: “Had she just sat there & ate her rice, you n****z history would’ve been a lot less triumphant.”
