Nicki Minaj Addresses Summer Jam Issue with Funkmaster Flex

Nicki Minaj held her owned during the interview she had with Funkmaster Flex of Hot 97 about her cancelation during Summer Jam. I want to say from jump that I, in no way, stan for Nicki Minaj, but, she rocked during that interview, and that’s the only reason I may sound like I’m on her side. Flex’s voice was cracking the entire time, and he sounded like he was too in his feelings, when there was no personal attack against him. But, dah well.

During the interview, several issues were touched on. Maybe not the most significant, but they tried. There are some things I will address, though. Here it is:

1) Nicki, pulling the “I’m a female card” in 2012 sets women back some decades. You can’t be in a male dominated industry and when things get rough go, “hey, hol’ up. I’m a girl. Don’t forget.” Particularly, when ya boy Drake said some things about Kim that you okayed. But, I digress.

2) The real issue was obviously with what Rosenberg had to say. But, alas, he wasn’t even involved in the phone call. So, to be truthfully honest, the whole thing was pointless.

3) Flex, please stop with the crocodile tears. I was astounded when you said you felt “disrespected” when Young Money pulled out. Umm… they were disrespected first! But, okay. I guess you got that one. Ya nose stayed in her cooch the whole interview, though. All that hype stuff you said dissing Nicki was negated like hell during this phone call. I’m just saying.

4) Why book someone when you don’t like them? When Nicki made that point I clapped. It made so much sense.

5) At the end of the day, it’s about the fans. Yes Nicki, you were disrespected, but your fans were let down. You should’ve still done it, and came at everyone’s neck who dissed you during the performance on some real boss shit. But, alas…

That’s just my little two cents. You know I always have to add it. Check out the interview courtesy of Miss Jia after the jump. Nicki also plans to make it up to her fans by doing a free show in NYC. Go ‘head girl. Please weigh in. I want to hear everything you have to say.

    I’m kinda torn on this one. I started out liking nikki but she has gone totally pop n I’m not feelin her no more. Everyone says that she should have stayed for her fans and just went ham on flex and the other dude. I can understand that, I hear y’all on that. But the other part of me feels like if it Were me…I would have left too. Even though flex has publicly shaded her and that song for some time (according to the east coasters) HE WAS THE ONE who was unprofessional in this situation. IF the powers that be chose her to b on the ticket he should have (on that day and in that setting) kept his personal opinion to himself. If he was a real professional he would have shut the hell up and let perform that stupid jr. High umm bop bubble gum ass song and waited til the next day in his own forum where he has free reign to roast her for the gods.
    On the other hand I don’t blame her for leaving because other m’fs need to know that you don’t invite me on your set and spit in my F’kn face TF? Who ever the artist is if I were them that’s how I would feel. IJS

    Yeah, I’m not feeling all of Nicki’s stuff either lately. And I would’ve left too. In my post where she speaks with The Breakfast Club, Nicki explains how it was smart to stay and perform after one of the people from the brand who booked you dissed you before your set. I completely agree.

    UGH you have no idea how in depth I analyzed this spat. In all honesty, I don’t like Nicki Minaj; she has never really interested me. However, it was extremely unprofessional to diss and rile up the crowd against the headliner of this event. I can guarantee that the majority of people wanting to see Nicki Minaj weren’t expecting her to come out and “dance-pop” it up on her set which would include Nas and ultimately Lauryn Hill. P. Rosenberg should have just left well enough alone. Nicki has every right to be upset that she was singled out because, after all, it wasn’t just Nicki Minaj who didn’t end up performing, but rather the entire Young Money roster. Why not talk smack about everyone else who didn’t end up performing? Flex really just showed his true colors in this interview and I honestly didn’t believe or think he was being sincere in any comment he made. It was so shady and he was beating around the bush as to his PMS moment of talking smack about destroying Nicki’s career, at least in NY. WTF is that high school drama?

    Girl. And I apologize for having to send you to Jia’s site cuz I didn’t have the codes. LOL! But I agreed. Completely unprofessional, and Nicki didn’t have to be singled out. It wasn’t even her call that she was pulled from the show. She probably would’ve done it and curse people out if Wanye didn’t call her beforehand. I don’t know how Flex and Rosenberg are really justifying their actions and still blaming Young Money as if what they did was okay and YM’s reaction was wrong. Smh
