August 19, 2018 A day after Nicki Minaj claimed her album had actually beaten Travis Scott’s album for #1 and the “REAL” numbers would be out today, Billboard has confirmed Nicki is going to have to settle for a #2 position. Travis’ ASTROWORLD has sold 205,000 units compared to Nicki’s 185,000 copies sold of her new album, Queen.
Of course this isn’t sitting too well with Nicki and she is now having another twitter meltdown claiming fraud on Travis’ part and even dragging Kylie Jenner and their daughter, Stormi, into the mix. She is also claiming Spotify promised her promotion but punished her after she premiered the album on Apple Music.
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 ♥️

August 19, 2018 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

August 19, 2018 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!

August 19, 2018 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.

August 19, 2018 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.

August 19, 2018 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.

August 19, 2018 My music went up on Apple so I played it. I assumed it was on Spotify & Tidal at the same time. Spotify said that Apple tweeted fans advising
#Queen was up & therefore they had to teach me a lesson. But PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!!!

August 19, 2018 My label didn’t want to defend me for fear of Spotify trying to teach Ariana a “lesson” too!
