is nicki minaj’s career truly over? a thread.

1. let’s just start by saying that her career is entirely carried by features. now we all know rappers do tons of feats, but there’s a difference when you’re the lead artist with the feat and when you’re just the feat. 112 entries on billboard but 18 solo. embarrassing.

2. her ticket sales are absolutely horrendous. sis can barely sell out a 5k venue while artists decades in do better than her (lauryn hill for example) that managed to outgross all of nickis tours.

3. now we all know her affiliation with r*p¡$+$; collaborating with one THREE times, has a r***ist father, brother & husband. if this doesn’t shock you enough she even collaborated with someone who wanted to drug someone and r*p£ them. coincidence? i think not.

4. if that’s not enough for you, she even collaborated with someone who is white that proudly says the n word, and someone who is colorist (aside from them being black) & is also homophobic.

5. no grammys, no critical acclaim, no actual solo hit since 2014, no respect in the industry... she was the queen, and never again.

6. embarrassing sales. TPP (nickis “prime” era) debuted with 244k in the US. now, according to UWC (worldwide sales that exclude some asian countries) TPP only sold 1k outside the US in its first week. if this isn’t embarrassing i don’t know what is.

7. more of her embarrassing stats. nicki holds the record for:

• the biggest drop for a #1 debut
• the biggest drop from #1 for a current song
• the weakest #1 in history (4 woc, dropped entirely out of the top 30 2nd week)
• the most songs for a rapper to drop -70 spots

• the most billboard bubbling under entires for a woman
• the biggest downfall movement in billboard history (-80)

what a queen!

8. it took ole girl a whole decade just to finally get herself a #1 and guess how she did it? hoping on an already top 5 song when it was at its highest potential. unfortunately, the GP didn’t like the remix which is why she lost the credit 2 weeks after. sad if u ask me.

9. it took her all of this just to get a cheap #1. THE cheapest #1 actually. there’s honestly no excuse for this bc GOOBA was a solo song that had no playlisting, radio or bundles and it did 10 weeks, so why couldn’t trollz? nickis impact perhaps.

10. nicki minaj has a total of 24 songs that charted for only one week

if i typed in the amount of songs that charted for 2 weeks/didn’t chart at all, it’d take as long as a plane ride.

11. also can we talk about how awful of an album seller she is? she’s only the best selling female rapper bc she has more albums/didn’t have competition with other female rappers. IOP outsold all her albums in just two years yet barbz deny IOP isn’t a body of work

invasion of privacy: 6.2M

———BARRIER———
