Nicki Minaj has put Elliott Wilson on blast and accused the veteran Hip Hop journalist of trying to “tarnish” her image.
Wilson appeared to take a shot at Nicki on Thursday (December 14) when he posted a photo of the rapper twerking during her appearance on Kai Cenat’s Twitch livestream and captioned it: “Hip Hop journalism.”

The Rap Radar Podcast host has been critical of Hip Hop artists in recent months for allegedly snubbing rap media outlets and instead doing interviews and podcasts with people he labels “outsiders.”
Nicki took issue with Wilson’s dig and clapped back on X (formerly Twitter), writing: “Elliot if you’d spit JayZ dikk out for one second, you’d be able to be happy for the new comers.
“Isn’t that how y’all tried to tarnish my image? By saying I’m not welcoming new btchs in? Did songs with all of them tho. Why you not happy for a young black man like Kai. Tmrw btch.”

The Young Money hitmaker later added on Instagram Live: “You know how many tweets I’ve seen you post disrespecting me, Idiot Wilson? […] Nobody owes you shit, hoe n-gga. Fuck you!”
She also accused Wilson, who serves as TIDAL’s Chief Content Officer, of thinking he can say whatever he wants because of his relationship with JAY-Z.
Wilson defended himself, saying: “Never dissed Nicki. Always said she’s the female rap [GOAT]. Over Lauryn, Missy, Kim and Foxy and all. I think Cardi B is dope too. Happy Holidays.”
He added: “Updated: Nicki is goat and best again. New album is dope.”

50 Cent, who appears on the bonus edition of Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 and has had his own issues with Elliott Wilson in the past, also got involved, saying on Instagram: “look how @nickiminaj be blacking out on these [ninja]’s [grinning face emoji] this shit be having me crying LMAO.”
DJ Envy also caught a stray in Nicki Minaj’s tirade as she wrote: “Remember how cocky dj envy was when he was saying he black balls my music on the radio? Ask yourself how a DJ could get away w/that behavior.”

“Then I remember him selling them busted houses & I have to laugh,” she added, referencing the DJ’s alleged involvement in a real estate scam. “We prayed, envy. 1 by 1… God will show y’all that you are NOT GOD.”
The Breakfast Club personality had previously admitted to omitting Nicki Minaj’s music from his radio rotation.
