Maybach Music Group artist Wale seemed reluctant to dish out any details on his upcoming album, The Gifted, during an interview with HOT 97, but he eventually began to share the names of the featured talent that can be expected on his third studio album.
The D.C. spitter revealed that Nicki Minaj will be featured on The Gifted on what’s reportedly an up-tempo record titled “Clappers.” The rapper also spoke briefly on a remixed version of the Tiara Thomas-assisted “Bad,” which may also be featured on The Gifted, but will instead feature Rihanna.
Wale, who has had his fair share of social media battles, later went on to speak directly with Peter Rosenberg as the radio personality touched on his ordeal with Nicki Minaj fans via Twitter following last year’s Summer Jam incident.
“I love Nicki Minaj and all of her fans. God bless you all…We wake up to this shit. This troll shit. I’m about this troll life man, this troll response life…I can take an opinion, but I don’t like when you tryna spew hate and like contaminate the way other people think. Our generation—niggas is very impressionable,” Wale explained.
On June 2, Wale will join the likes of Miguel, Wu-Tang Clan, and more for his fourth appearance at HOT 97 Summer Jam. While the rapper likely has a few surprises in store during his set at the annual music festival, he spoke on fans expecting too much when it comes to surprise appearances.
“I wanted to do it like that ‘Harlem World’ video…And the shiny suit, everything,” said Wale jokingly, when speaking on his performance this weekend. “It’ll probably be like a minimal version of that…That’s the thing about Summer Jam…I feel like nobody’s expecting the artist. All I’m saying is that through the years Summer Jam has been known for bringing out—everybody.”

Hell No. Fuck that bitch.
this headline just ensured i wont download his album free LOL i dont buy shitty rappers albums. i wont even download this one
wale dough!
wale worse than slaughterhouse
HIP HOP
FUCK THE MEDIA DOPE RAPPERS EVERY WHERE
FAKE EMCEES WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WALE THAT WORKED WITH 9TH WONDER on Back to the Feature
fuck a sell out
wale
dope from 2005 to 2009
Fuck ya’ll. You didn’t even hear the song/album yet, and already judging. SMH.
its got nicki on it so its another sellout album thats guaranteed to suck.
^dark fantasy had nicki on it and that was the arguably best album ive ever heard. you deductive reasoning is embarrassing
twisted fantasy had “all of the lights”
only dope song was “so appalled”
and “Gorgeous” (featuring Raekwon and Kid Cudi)
and “power” and “dark fantasy”
ur favorite album only got 4 tracks
one of them an intro and the other a posse cut
that album had production tho
runaway killed it
yezzy and em new album loook like they might be more lyrical than pop
the first three years into the decade defines the sound
they could drop bombs
noone wanna hear nickis 30 different personalities..she used to be sick til she thought rappin like a girl version of wayne would keep her on forever..
out of all the albums i have bought Ambition was the only album i wanted to throw out. Biggest waste of $14 ever
Why do people hate Nicki Minaj so much? She’s a dope rapper. Listen to songs like “Can anybody hear me”, “Dear old nicki”, “Moment for life”, “Champion”, “Freedom”, etc Those songs are wack to you? I feel like she gets a lot of hate just because she’s colorful and kid friendly. People aren’t listening to the music.
good joke firstly she models everything after lil kim and lil wayne her whole gimmick is fake her looks are fake her ass is fake she makes crappy pop songs she raps about stupid shit she does annoying voices and flows she is just garbage.
those songs aint shit.
this local rapper really trying to be drake huh?
well HES NO DRAKE THATS FO SHO
You can tell this bum reads all the comments about him and it really burns his soul that he gets so much hate LOL
should make better music then n leave all the fags out of his album if he wants something to remember..noone gonna remember wale when he got 2chainz, NM n other cornballs on theree
dude is nice but nicki? c’mon son
Wale is nice but this nigga is dumber than a stump i swear to god
“Wale Confirms Nicki Minaj Collab On The Gifted”
And I confirm that it’s shite…
YMCMB MMG is a family. We are gonna stay on top forever.
they never been on top though to begin with
Yeah they are, Eminem might have been on top one time but has fallen off hard. Today, Eminem can’t even break a million in a week while Wayne can go around a million in a week for a tha carter album. K dot is struggling to reach platinum while Jay Z and Kayne West have both fallen off hard.
more haters than fans
and mmg going down one day
they gon be like murder inc not duck down
dentalbitch, everything you say is a lie. YMCMB/MMG ain’t on top of shit. Eminem, Jay-Z, and Kanye never fell off. Eminem already sold a million in the 1st week twice. Recovery sold 4 million while Wayne’s best selling album, C3 (which was the only Wayne album to sell a million first week), only sold 3 million. And Kendrick is already platinum.
who was talkin about eminem tho? i think DDB is a secret stan.
Wale will go triple platinum.
In his dreams.
i think you meant triple platonium
lol this guy should just push back his album theres no hype around it, everyone is talking about BORNSINNER AND YEEZUS

“they never been on top though to begin with”
Ross has been #1 several times, so that’s definately the top.
no he hasnt, stop it. everyone that drops an album is number 1 for a week. he got ONE number one song on the billboard hip-hop charts, then another from that drake song. thats it. Ross dont know what it feels like to be number 1 at anything but an eating contest
Get ready to start hating your favorite artist because she’s already had collaborations w. French Montana, Wale, Mario, Ciara and Cam’ Ron and she have 4 features for June and July. She’s about to SLAYYY again!!!! And here’s a little quote from Lauryn Hill since you guys hate on Nicki’s form of rapping (i.e voices) “Neurotic Society is a song about people not being, or not being able to be, who and what they truly are, due to the current social construct.” Nicki is a theatre major so the voices are apart of what she learned so were the costumes. And it sure got her RICH AS FUCK and chart positions. So who’s winning your bum ass no education ass or her?
How does Nicki’s dick taste, stan? Your idol is a sellout pop bitch.
Rappers need to stop with this cliche collab shit.its gettin lame.
How about a out of the blue never expect collab?
Shit the nigga coulda did a track with MC Hammer n that would have been more interesting.
its called building relationships
No it’s called working with talent-less fucks in order to sell more records to 15 year old girls. But I suppose building relationships sounds better
