The 'Queen' rapstress has spoken out.

What Is Nicki Minaj's Net Worth In 2018?
Many listeners put Nicki on blast for appearing to support 6ix9ine despite his criminal past. Shortly after the song's release, Minaj chose to add it to her new album 'Queen'.
After adding it to the record, publications continued to slam Minaj for supporting 6ix9ine. Minaj later responded to one particular article, and claimed that certain outlets are being paid to portray her in a negative light.
"When I was told they were being paid to write these things I didn’t believe it, now I know it’s true," she wrote on Twitter. "I got the proof on that too."

Elsewhere, Minaj kicked off upon discovering that Travis Scott's 'Astroworld' had beat 'Queen' to no. 1 in the official album charts this week.
In a lengthy Twitter rant, the rapper took aim at Scott's girlfriend Kylie Jenner and their daughter Stormi, before calling out Billboard on their current chart rules.
Minaj took a swipe at Young Money label mate Drake, who surprisingly didn't make an appearance on the album. 'Queen' is available now to download, stream and purchase.
