Shhhhhh...do you hear that?
Turn down your music.
Do you hear it now?
That is the sound of another Nicki Minaj song freefalling on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. After much stalling, the numbers are finally in, and Nicki Minaj's "Do We Have A Problem" dropped 30 spots to #32 on the Hot 100 after debuting at #2 just a week ago.
The good news is that it did not have a greater drop than "Trollz," and it is still within the Top 40. The bad
news is that Nicki Minaj is becoming known as the freefall Queen. Hip Hop fans did not need prediction pages to tell us the outcome of DWHAP's second week; it was only a question of where the song would land.
While I would love to drag the Barbras for let'n down their Queen once again, I can't this time. Nicki Minaj not only deserves 100% of the blame for this freefall but earned it for two reasons: her LIES and UNGRATEFUL BEHAVIOR.
UNGRATEFUL "QUEEN"
First, I cannot explain how ungrateful Nicki Minaj looked when she debuted at #2 and posted only the charts where she managed to get a #1. She could have at least posted her hard-earned #2 debut along with her other accolades. But, instead, she paid it dust and sent the wrong message as the "Queen of Rap."
If Nicki Minaj were more obsessed with moving like a Queen than she is with the title, then maybe the crown wouldn't keep slipping into others' hands. But, for someone who just got their first Hot 100 #1 in 2020 and barely survived a blackballing, one would think she would be more appreciative of what she accomplished.
But, not Nicki. She came off ungrateful and, worse - unrelatable. Instead of turning it into a moment to celebrate and galvanize GP to push for the song to go #1, "for the culture," she reminded people why they have moved on to other girls.
DID YOU LIE OR GET KNEE PADS?
Nicki, Nicki, Nicki...
After "Do We Have a Problem" debuted at #2, Nicki Minaj went on Stationhead and told her fans, "you think the business of payola only has to do with money? No, it also has to do with SUCKING DICK!"
She then insinuated that she was being punished, which is why she ended up at the #2 spot. Of course, now, we all know her Barbras slurped that shit up like it was a hot bowl of Ramen noodles.
A few days later, Nicki went on IG Live and ADMITTED that the lack of radio play was part of the PLAN by her and her record label. They did not push radio play because they wanted to test out which song had the best chance with radio stations and because the radio programmers couldn't decide either.
Nicki never said this on Stationhead. Instead, she allowed her Barbras to go around crying about how other artists get radio play, and they're sucking dick when they could have been making a push for the #1 spot. This is why Nicki earned that 30 spot drop. First, she turned off GP and then snatched hope away from her STANs.
Yesterday Nicki Minaj had the most added song to Rhythmic and Urban radio. So, now I must ask Nicki, did you LIE to your STANs, or did you just invest in some knee pad?
