If your girl is busy making original content then why is she trying to rip off other artists to collect coin after being told not more than once? :lemmetellu_telling_preaching_yelling_talking_points_finger:

Listen, I love Nicki, but this ain’t it. Tracy is a classic and respected. Nicki knows that or she wouldn't have tried to sample her music.:lemmetellu_telling_preaching_yelling_talking_points_finger:

She knew she’d lose this case if it went to trial so she said F it lemme pay the lawyer fees and take the track down etc, so Nicki is smart on that. :lemmetellu_telling_preaching_yelling_talking_points_finger:

People make mistakes. Move onto another argument sis. :lemmetellu_telling_preaching_yelling_talking_points_finger:

Y’all chill Nicki’s team personally settled  on a 450k bargain which is a win because Tracy would’ve lost a lot of money. Think of it as a generous gesture. :whitney_houston_huh_oh_really_well_look_stare_welp:

Actually Tracy sold 13 million albums in USA with her first 4 albums alone. Her first album sold 20 million world wide by itself.

Compared to Nicki with 6.5 million sold in USA with 4 albums:

Tracy has a career that spans 33 years.

 Nicki hasn had a hit song in the last 2-3 years, and it’s been only 10 years since she release her first album.

Talk about longevity.

Tracy *had* a career that spanned under 24 seconds.

I really don't like Nicky Minaj's music or persona but please try to turn on critical thinking. You can not compare selling albums in age of internet to age of radio.

I know you can’t. It’s easier now to sell albums. You just need people to stream your songs online. Or make it go viral and you get album sales numbers.

Also Taylor and Adele are finding ways to sell their albums in radio age. Why can’t Nicki? It’s cuz she’s a has been. Lol

The thing is she did ask. She asked more than once and was told no every single time but the song was still recorded and leaked. 

Well karma then. If she was denied to use it multiple times, I think it's only fair she had to pay.

Shows absolute no professionality and no respect from Nicki's side.
