Ransom Denies Ghostwriting For Nicki Minaj, Calls Her “Disrespectful”

    Ransom has denied saying that he’s ghostwritten songs for Nicki Minaj. The ghostwriting claims stemmed from a line in Ransom’s “Man Alone” track, which he says has been misinterpreted. 

    “Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs, I was doing verses for her just hoping she made it big,” Ransom says on the song. When Minaj was told about the line, she said Ransom was “real fucking desperate” and that she doesn’t “need no mothafucking ghostwriter.” 

    Minaj’s response to the line can be seen below.

    Ransom saw the video and responded. 

    “What I meant was, she used to call me to get on her songs,” Ransom said in an interview with TMZ. “Never once did I not pick up the phone for this woman. Did the verses. It was all love. Now this.” 

    Ransom also addressed his feelings about Minaj after watching part of the clip. 

    “She’s a woman,” Ransom said. “I ain’t got no beef. For me to hate a woman, that’ll make me less of a man.”

    Ransom also said that he could not finish watching the entire Minaj interview. 

    “I seen the video,” Ransom said. “I couldn’t watch it though. She was real disrespectful but I’m not even gon’ stoop that low…I didn’t mean that. I didn’t mean it like that. [It was taken] out of context. I think she knows that. I think she should apologize but I ain’t even lookin’ for no apology. It is what it is.” 

    Ransom reiterated his statements regarding any ghostwriting claims. 

    “I never wrote no songs for her,” he said. “We got a lot of songs together though…She overreacted…I didn’t write anything for her. I meant that we did verses together. I did verses for her, for her records. I’ve always helped her. I’ve helped a lot of people, actually.”

    Ran’s response to Minaj can be seen below.

    In 2012, Ransom denied ghostwriting for Nicki Minaj also. “I’ve done massive joints with her,” Ransom said when asked if Minaj had a ghostwriter by Forbez DVD. “Nah, I done been there with her….I don’t know about now…But I think Nicki still writes her shit. I’ma give her the benefit of the doubt until I see it with my own eyes.”

    1. so, what your saying is….the media created a beef between these two by intentionally using misleading headlines…like this one.

      i could do your job in my sleep

      you are a faggot

      1. EXACTLY faggot

        just like:
        East Coast-West Coast
        Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit/DPG vs Murder Inc/Death Row
        Jay-Nas

        ALL HYPED BY THE MEDIA GET A CLUE

      1. moron over at allhiphop dot com reported that shit before they asked her saying he claimed to have ghostwrote for her in that song when everyone was trying to say that aint what he fucking said

      2. tmz, is going to be tmz…Nicki should have known better to respond like that, how you take some info from someone like tmz and go off like she did?. She should have just said, I haven’t heard that, I will have to look into that and see if its true

    2. He handled that good cuz she was disrespectful and not any artist on YMCMB can see him lyrically but he took the high road. #Salute 201StandUp

    3. She’s so rude and immature…She wouldn’t even confirm that he said that before talking all reckless. He helped her earlier on and she just treated him like he was nothing, based on a lie.

    4. he kept that 100, I already knew what he meant.. I just hate that fact that that one line is overshadowing how dope the WHOLE RECORD IS….

    5. This is a sad day when TMZ is the gospel for information. Damn Nik you actually didn’t even check to see if what he said was true. smh

    6. “For me to hate a woman, that’ll make me less of a man.” – Ransom

      “I rap better than him. Who the fuck is he, crazy? Yo, I’m not even a man and niggas got my dick in their mouth.” – Nicki Minaj

      For him to openly accept disrespect from that bitch is really what makes him “less of a man.”

      1. And this is the definition of the word corny, a dude is being criticized for NOT beefing with a chick…I swear these drake ass thugs now a days.

      2. Taking an L from a female lashing out verbally is often the norm especially if you deal with a lot of them. Grow up.

      3. @Anonymous #1 You ain’t taking no L’s right? Give a bitch the business and watch her turn around and have you locked up. But you taking that D in the pokey. Ha, nah… thinking some shit with that you ain’t even got no bitches to get you locked up

    7. “For me to hate a woman, that’ll make me less of a man.” – Ransom

      “I rap better than him. Who the fuck is he, crazy? Yo, I’m not even a man and niggas got my dick in their mouth.” – Nicki Minaj

      For him to openly accept such disrespect from this bitch is what really makes him “less of a man.”

      1. For him to openly accept such disrespect from this bitch is what really makes him less of a man

        What is he supposed to do? Call her a bunch of names??? Snap?? She’s a fuckin woman! The way he handled it made her look terrible and immature, and him look humble and professional; that was his revenge. You must be raised by a single black mother, because you are ready to get emotional

    8. That man alone tracks shits on any of nicki’s songs Ransom the hardest out next to styles p such a dope mc slept on badly

    9. Didn’t even realise she had songs with dude. She flew off the handle for no reason at all. He handled it well though. No point in beefing with some chick.

    10. blogs really fucked him over on this one. To every normal viewer everyone knew he meant they had done songs together not writing for her

    11. IF Ransom wrote for her, her rhymes would be MUCH BETTER. excluding the legends, the ONLY rapper I can say is clearly better than Ransom lyrically is Kendrick Lamar. He’d give anyone else the business right about now.

    12. Duffle Bag Boy!!! I’m proud of the way he handled that, mature and level headed. she defo overreacted, there was no need for to go off like that. It’s like she was acting up for the cameras or some shit…immature & LAME!! Ransom’s nice with the word-play, a good rapper – she’s talking shit!

    13. yea she overreacted, but when i first read the line he said, i for sure thought he meant he was writing verses for her…but now that he cleared it up, it makes sense….and also, she was responding to some random dude asking her ” what do you think about ransom saying he ghostwrites for you” i mean obviously shes gonna get pissed, thats her integrity on the line

    14. Everybody knows Nicki writes her own rhymes, just like she did for her “freestyle” on that BET cypher she did

      1. i dont know how you could possibly get that idea from the lyrics

        he was clearly talking about doing songs with her

    15. Okay I apologize in advance. I got no other route for exposure right now so i’m
      trolling you fine people here at hiphopdx. Just take 4 minutes to listen to my remix
      of “Im A Coke Boy” SPOILER: its not about cocaine, lame right? For real though,
      give me a shot.

      1. He’s not back peddling AT ALL. These hip hop outlets pushed this misinterpretation of his lyrics and now he’s the one that’s getting called a bitch. Nicki should apologise cos she threw him under the bus based on bullshit claims by gossip reporters.

    16. She is really disrespectful. You can tell she has a really huge ego. Its not cute at all, and I don’t know who would want to wife someone like that. Just My opinion

    17. Bar for bar, she can’t fuck with Ransom. Street Fam – “I’ll creep in your crib and put your brains on your Barkley poster”

    18. why hasnt hhdx posted the song yet?? heard it last night on the radio that shit is hottt fire! harder than anything nicki ever wrote thats for sure!

    19. “got a verse from wayne before he was soundin off
      did a song with ross before he was crowned the boss”

      if people would have listened to the song they would know what he meant

    20. Hip hop fans have such short lived memories. Tells me alot these dudes just started fucking with hip hop heavy a short time ago. Anybody knows when Nicki was coming up Ransom’s buzz was heavy in the street and on the mixtape circuit. And we know Nicki was trying desperately to get to every and anyone she could who could help her get some light…
