American rapper Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, aka Nicki Minaj, has struck again with her showoff in Nigerian Pidgin English.
In a recent tweet on Elon Musk’s X, the hip-hop artist blasted a troll who tried to demean her colleague and friend Lil Wayne.
The troll criticized Lil Wayne’s lyrical delivery and noted that he wasn’t worthy of being the first rapper to headline Superbowl in 2025.
“The first rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show needed to be someone who would represent the art to its highest degree. That was not Lil Wayne in 2024.”
There were speculations that Lil Wayne would headline the forthcoming Superbowl, but fans were disappointed when Kendrick Lamar was announced to grace the show in New Orleans. Reacting to the troll, Nicki Minaj used a pinch of Nigerian vernacular to attack the post on her colleague.
She passionately defended Wayne’s contributions to the rap game, highlighting how he has pushed boundaries, helped create iconic figures in hip-hop, and represented the genre.
