Most rappers claim to never have ghostwriters. Nicki Minaj has joined that list, claiming she has never had one.
Recently, a TMZ photographer-reporter asked Minaj whether or not she’s had a ghostwriter. “What?” she said. “I rap better than him. Who the fuck is he, crazy?”
She continued, “Yo, I’m not even a man and niggas got my dick in their mouth. Are you serious? I’m undisputed because I’m the only female rapper, that, day one, I don’t need no motherfucking ghostwriter. So if you tellin’ that lie, you must be real fucking desperate and you still ain’t gunna pop. How ’bout that?”
The subject came up after Ransom, who has collaborated with Nicki Minaj, released the song “Man Alone,” which makes reference to him ghostwriting for her. The lines in question are, “Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs, I was doing verses for her just hoping she made it big.”
There have been numerous claims of rappers writing for other rappers. In 2012, Jay Electronica said Nas “never has or never will need a ghostwriter” after there were claims that he and stic.man of dead prez ghostwrote significant portions of Nas’ Untitled album. In 2011, Future claimed that he wrote YC’s song “Racks on Racks.”

he didnt say he ghostwrote for her he said he gave her verses as in his own for her songs that he was featured on
that makes more sense. these so-called “journalists”…
No he said he Ghostwrote for her in his song.
no he didnt. they twisted his words and took it out of context
he said
“I was doing verses for her just hoping she made it big”
as in his verses on the 2 songs they did together on mixtapes before she was popular
It can be viewed either way, but think of it like this. They were both not signed at the time. How would he be laying verses on her track for her to get big if he wasn’t big himself. It leans towards sounding like he means I wrote verses just for her to spit so she can get big and not me. Logically this makes more sense
not it doesnt. he was just throwing her verses to put on her songs at a time when he was more popular then her hoping that she made it big
future did write racks
Damn, she went in on him over some lying ass white boy paparazzi trying to start shit. Divide and conquer…
Ever hear the saying. The lady doth protest too much.
If he didn’t there would be no reason for her to be so upset. For someone she thinks she raps better than. When she doesn’t. She asked who is he.
If she didn’t know who he was how could she say she raps better than him.
When I wouldn’t even call what she does rapping.
This hoe is the chick from I’m Gonna Get You Sucka.”
That took off her wig, breast, butt and finally leg. Hoping around the room asking dude to smash.
That’s what I think of when ever I see her.
Fake niggas love fake things.
See this ho fans.
RANSOM JUST MEANT HE DID FEATURE VERSES FOR NICKIS MIXTAPES. HE NEVER SAID OR IMPYED HE WAS WRITING HER SHIT. THAT STUPID TMZ FUCK WAS JUST TRYING TO START SHIT TO GET A STORY OUT OF IT AND ENDED UP GETTING RANSOM SHITTED ON. I HOPE RANSOM WHOOPS HIS ASS
Nicki Minaj is a terrific songwriter. Ransom got Minaj confused for Gay Z.
haha i hope your kidding..yea, jay z is terrible now, but the black album and everything before that, not many rappers could beat jay z at rapping…
I got that notorious shirt. fo real doe
Ransom is a real Mc , who the fuck is this wanna be white girl shitty ” rapper” do pop music and kill your identity like Michael Jackson. Nicky minaj CAN suck my hole Dick and Die!!!!!!
“I’m the only female rapper, that, day one, I don’t need no motherfucking ghostwriter. ”

Really bitch?….
suga-t, rapsody, lauryn hill, snow tha product…..all of which are female rappers that write their own shit, and would all be bigger then nicky menage if they chose to sell out like she did

get this fire for your earz now!!!new mixtape!!!!!
Ransom would ether the whole YMCMB lyrically so who is she kidding lol
I remember XXL post the reference track for “transparent” with Drake doing the vocals, you don’t need someone making a reference track if you don’t have a ghostwriter. Her anger suggests guilt.

Ransome couldnt of wrote for her she is wack as fuck and Ransom got bars

Its all surgeries and a ton of makeup. I seen her photo before she popped off and she was ugly.
haha thats your opinion..i think shes ugly as fuck now, but when she looked normal years ago, she was fine
YA’LL JUST DESCRIBED MOST BITCHES IN AMERICA… YOU GOTTA ADAPT MUTHAFUCKAS!

This skank again? She looks like Wanda Sykes on Pootietang
She got really defensive and mad. I think he probably wrote for her once upon a time.
great point i didnt think of it that way but on the other hand its kind of like getting accused of something you didnt do, you tend to get more angry and defensive then you would if you knew damn well you were guilty
RANSOM IS A BETTER RAPPER THAN NICKI THOUGH.
If anyone listened to the song they would understand that he means he spit verses on tracks for her and not wrote songs for her. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
she is a horrible rapper she is not even a rapper she’s a whore.she needs to go back to her home on whore Island
She never lived in long island.
Nikki’s rhymes are straight, but why she gotta be so fake looking and plastic. Hands down when you put her and Mrs.Carey next to each other Nikki doesn’t even look human anymore. She look more stiffer than a ironing board and if you washed all that make-up off we Probably wouldn’t recognized her…..I can almost hear some1 saying I’m hating. It’s not hating when it’s true….The bitch can open a cosmetic store with ten different products with all the make-up caked up on her face….
um…
No, bitch. you’re not a good rapper. You are a okay rapper; which means I can deal with you unless I have to. I mean, if it gets my people amp then I’ll play it just for them. I get no personal fulfillment when I listen to your shit. Your lyrics is okay. Rhythm is very good. And if you don’t have a ghostwriter might want to consider one.
JUST BY THE WAY SHE ACTED YOU CAN TELL SHE GOT A WRITER.. SHES WACK ANYWAY, ALL GIMMICKS WITH THAT BITCH
Agreed the way she blew up about it makes me wonder alittle bit if she has had one.
she a liar he was ghostwriting for that bitch when he was wit the a team thats when big fendi had that bitch gravy all them niggas she a liar die broke bitch
Why are you saying she’s lying when RANSOM said on twitter tha she writes her own and that the line was taking out of context by hip hop sites. Hip hop listeners stay trying to downplay Nicki Minaj and ya get shut down EVERYTIME. Let it the fuck go.
She’s totally lying, you can tell just by her response. Not like I had any respect for her before, but my opinion of her has just gone WAY down the shitter (if that’s even possible).
Duff Bag Ran will rap circles around her and her label mates, don’t smell yourself Nikki, give props when due. Don’t like how she stated he ain’t gonna pop like she run the rap game, b!tch you not even hip-hop you make alternative music..Go Flyoff on your Starship.
Well, people said that before she blew up, she sounded totally different and actually had bars…now, not so much…so perhaps in the beginning she had a writer…and now it is really her writing rhymes which are certified Boo Boo Juice!
Everyone has a ghost writer…everyone. It doesn’t make you any less of a an emcee in fact it makes you better because there are some concepts and lyrics others can articulate to express your artistry. What do people hate on Denzel and Kerry Washington because they don’t write their own lines? Get the fuck outta here….
Is you stupid or something. That makes absolute no sense, if I write a script I have to play all the characters… No, I need other actors to play the people conveying the story of my script. It’s not the same thing. Go purchase you some common sense we could do the Eddie Murphy thing, but that would take some hellava talent. Then anyway what if I’m a good writer, but can’t act. The wonderful story wouldn’t be told as well if Denzel or Kerry played the role. Pick a better analogy because that one sounds dumb point blank.. Just being honest
Thats the stupidest thing Ive EVER heard. Having a ghost writer is a JOKE for untalented major label rappers that are only marketed for their looks. Nicki Minaj has had a TON of ghost writers so she is full of shit. Having a ghost writer makes you a better emcee????? I hope you get your head slammed in a car door
i did write that bitches rymes yall dont belive a thing she say.. and she slobbed on the knob..
