“When you are a rapper, you know the history of the greats & when you are an internet personality, you do not,” she wrote in a since-deleted tweet. “So if you knew the history of the very culture you are trying to penetrate, you’d sitcho goofy ahh df down. It costs you nothing to stfu. PINK FRIDAY 2 11/17/23.”
The PSA came after Nicki got her Barbz excited with a new snippet from her forthcoming album on Monday (August 14), which in turn caused the album to become one of the highest trending subjects online.
The sleek R&B clip was revealed in two videos posted to Nicki’s IG account. One clip saw the Pinkprint rapper listening to the new track while posing for a photo shoot, while the other showed her sitting amongst her peers in the studio, lip-syncing along to the new track.
The brief snippets were enough to make Nicki’s upcoming album go viral, and it subsequently became the #2 trending subject on Twitter on Monday.
