@Rob, so you are basically saying that twitter follwers determines how many albums you sell.? SIT.! & after that, have several more seats.! i can see that this convo is not going to go anywhere so im gonna leave you with this question, when was the last a a female rapper sold 1.5 million of their album.? & if its anything past 3 to 5 years, then your arguement is & will remain invalid.

I will never understand why Nicki “stans” cyber attack nearly EVERYONE who has an opinion that doesn’t match their own. You can’t force everyone to have the same opinion. Very childish.

Anyway, I love Nicki and will always be a fan of hers but I’m really not completely feeling this look. Only because of the jacket and the boots. The top and the skirt are pretty cute though.

Ya’ll Nicki fans are just like Nicki herself…quick to say somebody hating. This has nothing to do with Kim, this has nothing to do with someone dissing her, this has nothing to do with anything…SHE IS JUST A MESS. Stop saying people are coming here to “hate” on her, Nicki got ya’ll ass doing that cuz thats what she do when somebody dont like her. Just say they ‘hating”. She is a gimmick, and she is a copy cat, and she is a MESS and that is a FACT. Ya’ll needa stop acting like the whole world is suppose to like her wack ass. She quick to call female rappers old but she finna be 30 dressing like a retarded 12 year old. I am so glad to see people are finally getting tired of her gimmick. #TEAMMINAJ its great that ya’ll love her, but not everybody does. #PEACE
