Nicki Minaj says she loves and respects Kendrick Lamar, despite yesterday's rant about the NFL and JAY-Z choosing him to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show instead of her longtime collaborator, Lil Wayne. She had complained that the league should've honored Wayne, considering the game is being held in his hometown of New Orleans.
“You can love & respect Kendrick and still love & respect Wayne. Even Kendrick loves & respects Wayne. Every real rapper loves & respects Wayne," Nicki wrote. When one user replied to her post claiming Republic Records called her up, she countered: “LOLLLLL they did? Today? If they did call me I def didn’t get the call chi. Maybe they left a vm. You must rlly not know Oniqua hungry pie. This rly just shows that you’re caged & have never been able to simply do & say as you please w/o any fear (other than the fear of GOD) stopping you.”
