Nicki Minaj was all ready to headline at Hot 97's Summer Jam festival in New Jersey on Sunday until host Peter Rosenberg went on stage at the pre-show and said her single "Starships" isn't real hip hop. Within minutes, Lil Wayne announced he was pulling Minaj from the show. Minaj quickly confirmed on Twitter, saying she "won't ever go against Wayne's word."

Since the incident, Rosenberg has addressed the incident but refuses to apologize. The next day, he said on Hot 97, "I'm absolutely not apologizing ... I've been saying this for six months. I'm not going to change my stance because I'm at Summer Jam ... I'm disappointed that she felt like she couldn't get on stage. That was surprising to me. What she should have done was played the game. This is hip hop. She should have gone on that stage and made a movie." Do you think it was right for Nicki Minaj to pull out of the gig?

Oops, other people have their own opinion. Our bad nicki, for the record, statships ISN'T hiphop. But I thought that maybe your FANS opinions would matter, seeming as THEY were the ones who paid good money to see that big fake ass. She no longer has my resepct after abandoning her fans because of what ONE person said. Shame on lil Wayne too.

Throwing a tantrum from both Lil Wayne and Minaj... "Someone expressed their opinion and now I'm upset so instead of showing them up or proving them wrong...I'm just not going to do anything."

I never said THAT was ignorant, I was saying that disrespecting someone in the first place is ignorant, no matter what his opinion is... If you haven't got anything nice to say don't say it at all. Thats my opinion.

Korgull to Lyndzz 2012/06/13 20:18:38

If someone sucks, they need to be told they suck, or else they'll never know that they need to get better. People lack that sort of self-awareness, and others need to tell them.

Lyndzz to Korgull 2012/06/15 22:18:29

Not as publicly though. That is humiliating for her and if she needs to be told that she is rubbish, she should be at least told in private. But thats just my opinion. I also think that he wasn't the one to tell her.

How was he ignorant exactly?

alex to Lyndzz 2012/06/07 16:45:48

Stating his opinion isn't ignorant. What's ignorant is blindly doing what someone tells you to do without thinking of the people who paid all that money to see her and how they would have felt for even ONE second.

If Lil Wayne represents her, then she did the right thing in pulling out of the show. Otherwise, she should have honored her contract and performed.

And he's correct.
The song is not hip hop, which is in its favor.

even if starships was popular and she got a lot of compliments for it, there is bound to be someone who doesn't like it.. or doesn't think that it's a good hiphop song. It's show business! she should've took the stage, did her thing & enjoyed her night

I have NO clue who she is. LOL but you nailed it when you stated "the fans" AND the fact that they paid good money to see this person. Seems singers forget WHO put them where they are, AND are the reason these singers/rappers/whatever get the big fat paychecks from eh?
