You know what I love, a good ass piece of drama. And right now, Nicki Minaj is giving it to Kim so hard. Kim could have been the Queen, and Nicki’s music may not always be consistently good, but let’s go in on this one!
Um you know, she really just jumped out the window. And you got to be careful when you pick fights and that’s what I’ve learned in this business, you just never know.
I think people get me mistaken with like, a real Barbie, they forget where I’m from and if I have to revert back – I can and I will.
So don’t play with me. You know it’s one of those moments when you say don’t play with me cause I respect you,I love you, I’ve said it in every interview time and time again, and if that’s not good enough with you mama, then it’s something deep rooted in you. You need to get your – something is bothering you inside, that’s your insecurity bothering you, it’s not Nicki Minaj, it would have been any girl that start popping.
She picked a fight with Foxy, then she picked a fight with Eve, then she picked a fight with Remy, then it was Ms. Wallace, then it was Nicki Minaj. Everytime you in the news, it’s cause you’re getting at somebody, where’s your music?
You know, put your music out and when I see your name on Billboard, then I’ll respond to you. Other than that, goodbye. IT’S BARBIE BITCH.
And that doesn’t take away from the respect – you know when a Mom got a beat you and she be like ‘It hurts me more to beat you than it hurts you’, it doesn’t take away the love that I have…it doesn’t take away, you know how, cause I’m a realist.
[Angie: cause you said those were one of the people you grew up listening to, did it hurt you feelings?]
Yeah it hurt. It hurt me. It hurt my feelings because I remember I saw her on the tour with Wayne and I had been hearing, you know in the business people talk behind the scenes, and I remember I ran into Foxy and Foxy said “Why you keep on giving props to Kim, she don’t like you.” She was like “the girl be dissing you” in conversation and I was such so much of a die hard and I was like until I hear her say something about me, I’m going to continue paying my respect to her in my interviews and that’s what I did, I kept on doing it, that’s why everybody came out and said “Nicki always shows you love, what are you talking about.”
So when I saw her at Wayne’s concert and she performed with Keysha, she came into our dressing room like she might use the bathroom and stuff and I stopped her, I was like, “you know I want to make sure everything is cool with us because you know, I’m a fan first.” you know, “is everything good?”.
“Yeah everything good, we good”.
Hugs and kisses. [Nicki said] “Can I take a picture with you? I love you” This is somebody that I looked at highly. We took a picture, everything was good.
But you want to know what scares people? Success. When you don’t make moves and when you don’t climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you’re not competition. When you become competition, people start…”hold on wait?”, so I felt like, you’re going to go down in history now as a sore loser as opposed to going down in history as the Queen because if you can’t beat em, join em. If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all. You don’t have to feel the need to put somebody down to make yourself feel better.
I see people do things all the time that I think…hmm, that remind me of Nicki Minaj, but it’s like do you honey, we all take from each other. That’s why I did a record on Pink Friday called “Here I Am” and I said “nothing is new under the sun.” It’s like when you see Gaga, you see Madonna, but Madonna never hated on Gaga. Why in the black community, we got to hate on each other instead of saying “Thank you for showing me love, thank you for keeping my name alive.” You know, the same way she opened doors for me, I’m now opening doors for you. Do you understand? Because nobody was even playing you music and and you danm sure couldn’t get an interview to save your life. But now you getting interviews and now every interview you do, they asking you about Nicki Minaj.
So it’s like we help each other, that’s the point, we’re helping each other. But if you are bitter…get a life.
It isn’t even about the music right now, I really appreciate how Nicki is really killing her. You should listen to the audio at the source.
Right before I could even really begin to think about HY2010, this amazing video was released. It’s a great parody of the original, and quite frankly very factual…
I spoke a bit about the lead up to HY, so I’ll just dive into the rest of the weekend. Landed on Friday, went to Russell House Tavern and caught up with a few of the only people I still talk to/like. And to my surprise, many of them were Matherites – and you know how I feel about Mather. Special shout out to the alum who tried to make a ‘Harvard-Yale’ thing happen! Didn’t pursue that (sadly, I think, well, shrug), but I end the night at a very swanky place.
One of my StoNo friends hooked me up with the nicest HY crash pad, a Beacon Hill townhouse. Yes, I had my own keys, my own room and even a nice little living room outside of ‘my’ room. It was basically an apartment, since it was the guest space of the townhouse. Apartment, hotel suite? Neither, as it was all gratis. What a great start to HY….

Something about the pictures above is ‘nice.’ And I think that this house (yes, it’s a home) is what Ms. Lovett imagined when singing to Sweeney Todd:
