letra de nicki minaj interview 6-4-12 - funkmaster flex

7:39 pm

[bomb]

[in unusually subdued voice.] ”new york, new jersey, connecticut, what’s going on? so, today, new york city, i’m going to talk to nicki minaj. and i’m going to ask her everything we need to know. and we’re going to talk about this to the end.”

“i was tight, yesterday. new york, new jersey, connecticut, i was in a place. i was seeing a color, a shade of—it was like a combination of burgandy and orange, at the time, if you can visualize that.”

“so: i then calmed down a little bit. put another plan in action. which we’re going to get to today. so we’re going to speak to nicki minaj in a little while. we’re going to play this chris brown?”

[in trademark scream.] ”alright, if you were at summer jam hit me up on twitter at funkmaster flex. (you see how my whole voice thing changed?)”

9:23 pm

ff: time-out. summer jam is not based on morales. this show is built on who’s bringing out celebrities, who’s coming out, and who’s getting dissed

nm: but we’re not coming out

ff: i’ve already said to you: rosenberg might not have picked the best moment to do it. that’s the time for it. when you’re getting read to perform. it’s his opinion. he maybe shouldn’t have given that opinion

nm: i’m going to answer your question but you gotta stop talking

ff: that’s the first time you’ve ever told me that wayne has ever overruled you. it happens. it’s a label. we couldn’t do anything to fix the situation

nm: flex

ff: i’m here

nm: flex. i need you to breathe. you’re not even listening and i need you to simma. for three hours, we emailed [hot 97 manager ebro darden], and actually, my manager was the first person to tell me: yo, you’re not going on that stage. wayne was the second person. for three hours, we could not get a resolution. [ceo of hip hop since 1978] g. roberson emailed me, and said: hey, i need you on the phone. ebro said ‘let me get to the bottom of this.’ you know i love ebro. after he sent that email, we never heard back

ff: but you know something?

nm: can i finish?

ff: d-mn, okay

nm: flex. flex. my label and program was reaching out to the manager

ff: now i understand the reason that you did it. and i’m listening to you. when you went to twitter, and you did that, we felt that you were making an issue, and you were trying to put us on front street

nm: ohhhhh. ohhh. okay. he tried to embarr-ss me, but i can’t embarr-ss you

9:31 pm

nm: flex, if you’re gonna just say wrong information blatantly like that, then ask me a question, because i’m not here to play games

ff: that’s a nice way of calling me a liar

nm: well, i want you to know that we wanted to do the show

ff: well, now that you said that….[cuts in on interview] [bomb] we’ll be back, we’ll be back. i’m gonna rewind that

9:39 pm

ff: everyone was wondering if you were really gonna touch the stage. i’m just keeping it real with you. nicki, look: there were people who were wondering if you were afraid to step on the stage. i’m not saying that’s how i feel, but people feel that way

nm: do you see the kind of places i’ve gone to? did you see how many people we were with yesterday? we were two-hundred deep. let’s not go there. there isn’t a b-tch alive—and when i say b-tch, i include men, because you’re a b-tch when you act like that—that could scare me from performing a show. i get money. i get money. flex…

ff: [interrupting]

nm: flex…i’m not even going to say what could’ve happened yesterday, and please don’t interrupt. relax. relax. this is the real reason why i called you. you said something about my record sales

ff: yes, i did

nm: and i want you to pull up your roster from everyone who was performing on your show. my first album sold 375,000 copies in its first week. my first album has gone on to sell 3.5 million records. my second album is at 900,000 worldwide, plus a three million selling single. if you don’t know, call matt voss at universal, flex, do the math, m-a-t-h, that’s one-point-two-million on my second album. even without the single, i’ve sold. three. point. five. million. albums. in two years. i want you before you ever open your mouth—it’s so misleading, when i saw foxy brown, she said, nic, why are they saying things about your sales when you’ve gone number one in four countries? you know who the last one to do that was, flex? the person previous to me was eminem in 2010

ff: but you know what? we’re not talking about last night, in jersey, at summer jam. i didn’t go at you because you’re a woman, i didn’t go at you because of that, i went at you because you’re an artist performing at summer jam. i’m not going at wayne. what did you think? did you think all that was gonna happen and n0body was gonna say nothing?

9:47 pm

ff: we’re being attacked, by your team, so i’m expressing myself, i’m not going to go t-t-for-tat with you

nm: i appreciate that you owned that

ff: i didn’t say your albums are trash

nm: i appreciate that. but let me say this: in the history of the hip hop world…there has been one, single, solitary human being in the history of the world. one female rapper to sell more albums than me in the first week

ff: nicki, i’m gonna reel this in for you. we’re talking about album sales. a lot of the people that bought those albums last night were in summer jam

nm: that’s right. so i’m gonna have a free show, for my fans, sometime this summer, in new york

ff: but did wayne do the right thing?

nm: i need you to simma. listen, flex. i need you to calm down

ff: did lil’ wayne make the right decision? yes or no?

nm: i…i…

ff: uh-uh. yes or no. did lil’ wayne make the right decision to pull you from the show?

nm: capital y. capital e. capital s. r-e-s-p-e-c-t

ff: yes? yes? are you saying yes?

nm: i just spelled it out for you. people are gonna know the truth. and every woman is going to know. people are laughing, flex. they’re gonna know the truth

9:53 pm

ff: hot 97 does a concert

nm: yes, but flex…[flex talks over her.]

ff: we’re known around the world. and you’re known around the world

nm: flex, i’m getting off the phone. all you’re doing is talking over me. [flex talks over her.]

ff: i am not talking over you. you are at fault and we are at fault too. we are both at fault. egos were involved. not just in the beginning part of it—and i will speak for myself as well—my ego, your ego, wayne’s ego, ebro’s ego, all of our egos were involved, and the people suffered and did not see nicki minaj, wayne, and dj khalid. and foxy and kim

[bomb]

10:01 pm

[bomb]

ff: look, you gotta kinda rock with me on this. i already said rosenberg didn’t pick the right time and place to say that. but wayne should not have taken his artist

nm: i love my team. and you gotta respect that

ff: but now i take it to wayne. and he should not have made that call. if people are on the phone when they already know that nicki’s not performing, we feel like we’re up against the wall. but how’re we gonna fix this? wayne’s wearing two hats. he’s artist and label. wayne was a featured guest. the fans didn’t buy the tickets to see wayne, they bought them to see nicki minaj. as the label guy, i was diappointed

nm: i got it, i got your feelings. are you gonna let me talk? you’ve already made your opinion clear, and n0body’s opinions seem to be changing. i just want to apologize to my fans for what happened last night, and like i said on twitter, i’m going to make it up to them with a free concert. and they said you know what hot 97? when you want our team to come to your show, treat us with respect. and that’s all we’re asking. we’re not asking for any special treatment. just respect. and i’m very proud of my team, and the way they stood behind me—and i’m very happy to show my female fans in that audience, and even my g-y fans in that audience, when i’m coming to your home, respect me. it’s no longer comedy. wayne doesn’t take me as a joke

ff: i’m asking you a question before you get off the phone. last night’s issues between all of us has not been just about last night. can we agree?

nm: yes! flex, i’m telling you the response to that was it got to an all-time level of disrespect

ff: does hot 97 deserve an apology nicki?

nm: i stand behind it! no, no radio station that allows someone to disrespect me before i go on stage deserves an apology. and i know you respect it. say it

ff: no! (laughs) you’re trying to bully me. i know what you’re trying to do

nm: flex, we’re talking in circles

ff: but can we agree that we’ll respect each other?

nm: yes. we can do that. all i ask is next time we go forward, we get respected. we need to know that the person who disrespected me is going to apologize—i don’t need an apology, i just need…

ff: but can we say you’re going to do summer jam next year?

nm: i’m gonna have to talk to wayne, and baby, and…

10:14

ff: you know what, nicki? i want to be honest with you. i think you’re putting me in a position at this particular moment. you’re putting me in a position [by asking rosenberg to apologize]. i don’t think i should get off the phone with you right now, i don’t want to be in a position to say sorry

nm: were you wrong, or not?

ff: you know what, nicki? i’m not wrong in defending my team

nm: when you said something about the streets, and sales, i just want you to know that i’m never mad when you don’t like something, but when you give facts to the world, they take what you say as the truth

ff: that criticism comes with the game. once the crossover stations, even if they take one of your gutterist hip hop records and play it, we’ve seen this with 2pac, biggie, everybody, if we’re going to have this conversation, nicki, you are particularly sensitive to it

nm: what, the whole pop thing?

ff: yeah. they say it about every rapper

nm: it’s not about pop, flex. it’s about disrespecting an artist

ff: are we fleshed out? are we cool?

nm: just run the entire interview. don’t chop nothing else. i will tell you this one last thing: when i sat in the restaurant last night with my team, beanie said, nicki: do you know what would happen if someone in jamaica went on stage last night before i performed to the crowd? he said n-ggas would be in the hoes-pit-al. but let me tell you: nothing is worse than going home and having not played a gig. i just wanna leave with saying this: i’m gonna make this up to my fans. and i want my fans to know, nothing, no radio station, no one can alter our relationship. i have a very personal relationship with my fans, and i’m truly sorry that people’s nights were ruined. you guys have no idea, i’ve gone through h-ll and back. i’m not a quitter. i show up and perform. i went with my team’s decision, and i made history, and the next time i come out, people won’t disrespect me. and for once, i feel like i’ve really really shown the world, i love and respect myself, and people aren’t gonna go there any more. and you know what, flex? hit me on the email, it’s all good

ff: we rocked out, we’re gonna continue to rock out. okay?

nm: okay. just put up this whole interview and we’re fine. okay?

ff: (laughs) okay

nm: bye

ff: bye
