Earlier this week, it was predicted via Chart Data that Nicki Minaj‘s fourth studio album Queen would be doing between 135K-150K album units (45K-55K pure sales) in the US in the first week. Nicki Minaj quickly responded to the preview saying that the numbers were false and that she would be debuting at number one on Billboard this Sunday.

At 4 PM, the numbers were revealed and Queen pushed 185,000 equivalent album units in its opening week, while Travis Scott‘s ASTROWORLD claimed the throne at number one once again, pushing 205,000 (78,000 pure sales – 348,000 total sales). Unhappy with the results, Nicki Minaj began to rant on Twitter telling fans that Scott had only secured the number one spot due to his ASTROWORLD tour and merch bundles.

Nicki Minaj on Twitter: “Travis sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. I spoke to him. He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries ♥️ pic.twitter.com/CiYEuczgm3 / Twitter”

Nicki Minaj on Twitter: “I looked at the numbers the Carters, Kanye, Nas, etc recently did. Travis sold 200K in his first week of clothes alone. I spoke to him last night & he said he’s been selling clothes b4 the music. Billboard says they’ll change the rules cuz of this, so it should be changed now! / Twitter”

However, Nicki Minaj has done the same thing – offering a poster, her album and 6 months of free Tidal for only $5 on her website; as well as a merch, tour ticket and album bundle.

Minaj believes that Kylie Jenner and baby Stormi are the only reasons why Travis Scott had an increase in album sales during his second week and revealed that Scott himself told her that the number of album units pushed was inaccurate.

Nicki Minaj on Twitter: “I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. lol. Im actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans. / Twitter”

Nicki Minaj on Twitter: “My first album sold 400K. No one is doing that with debut albums now. So I’m so grateful. I lost out on 12 hours of sales and did 200K in one week after I was supposedly cancelled. I bit my tongue last #QueenRadio but I won’t On Tuesday. I love you guys so much / Twitter”

Nicki Minaj also took to social media that she was not being defended by her label and believes Spotify is trying to teach her a lesson after debuting Queen on Apple Music via #QueenRadio just ten minutes before it hit the competitor’s streaming platform. The “Barbie Dreams” rapper called them out after not receiving the heavy promotion Drake received after the release of his album, Scorpion.

Nicki Minaj on Twitter: “Spotify put drake’s face on every playlist but told me they’d have to teach me a lesson for playing my music 10 mins early on #QueenRadio. Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time. / Twitter”

Nicki Minaj on Twitter: “Spotify had to teach me a lesson but rewarded the man who has had an Apple radio show the longest; inadvertently helping the Apple platform the most. Oh I can’t wait for #QueenRadio on Tuesday. They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this. #Queen / Twitter”

Yung Miami Accused of Transporting 'Pink Cocaine' for Diddy miixtapechiick

Yung Miami has been implicated in an amended lawsuit, alleging her involvement in transporting a substance known as ‘Tuci,’ also referred to as ‘pink cocaine,’ to Diddy.

This potent concoction typically comprises of 2C-B, ketamine, MDMA, and caffeine, with occasional additives like fentanyl. Despite its moniker, ‘pink cocaine’ doesn’t contain actual cocaine but can induce euphoria, heightened energy, and even aid in erectile dysfunction.

The amended lawsuit, now spanning an additional 25 pages, sheds light on the events surrounding the alleged incident. During rehearsals for ‘Something in the Westival’ in Virginia, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, the plaintiff, claims to have personally witnessed Diddy indulging in cocaine. When Diddy expressed a desire for ‘tuci’ but found it unavailable, his Chief of Staff Kristina Khorram reportedly contacted Yung Miami, who subsequently transported it via private jet from Miami.

The revelation comes after the arrest of Brendan Paul, described as Diddy’s “drug mule,” at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport for cocaine and marijuana possession . This occurred while Diddy was undergoing questioning by federal authorities amidst Homeland Security raids on his properties in Los Angeles and Miami.

The lawsuit further outlines the alleged involvement of individuals associated with Diddy, collectively referred to as the Combs Rico Enterprise, in procuring, transporting, and distributing various substances, including ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, mushrooms, and notably, ‘tuci.’ These substances purportedly found their way into carry-on luggage during both national and international travels, including trips facilitated by Yung Miami on behalf of Diddy.

Diddy Sells His REVOLT Shares As Feds Investigate Him miixtapechiick

Diddy has relinquished his ownership stake in REVOLT, the television network he co-founded in 2013 with Andy Schoun. The sale of his shares to an undisclosed buyer, as reported by TMZ, marks a significant change in the network’s ownership structure. Despite Diddy’s departure, REVOLT remains Black-owned, with the new owner opting to remain anonymous for now. An official announcement introducing the new owner is expected in the near future.

Diddy’s decision to step down as chairman in November came amidst a lawsuit filed against him by former Bad Boy artist and ex-girlfriend Cassie, alleging rape and prolonged physical abuse. However, the parties involved settled the matter amicably soon after.

On Monday (March 25), Homeland Security raided Diddy‘s residences in Los Angeles and Miami, as part of a federal sex trafficking case. Live footage from FOX11 captured the raid, showing Diddy’s sons Justin and Christian ‘King’ Combs, along with others, being detained outside their Beverly Hills home.

Diddy’s attorney, Aaron Dyer, responded to the raid with: “Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
