It’s been a very interesting week for Nicki Minaj!

Last night (Aug 14), Trina made good on her promise to go on Instagram Live and address rumored issues between her and Nicki about the promotion of their single “BAPS” which was released earlier this year.

“There is no beef between me and Nicki Minaj,” she said. “There will be no disrespect for Nicki Minaj or nobody else that’s on my album.”

While addressing that the Queens rapper did her part to promote the record, she also addressed the hate she has received in recent days.

“I appreciate each and every artist that took the initiative to be a part of this The One album,” she said. “Rico Love gave his all for me. Every artist that came out to do this album for me, they didn’t charge me. I appreciate that. Anything else that’s going on within that and around that, let me deal with that. Everybody else that’s outside of that, keep your f***ing mouth shut… all of y’all that are dragging my name thru the mud, dirtying my name, my face, without me saying a word, you can suck my a** through a straw. And I mean that. I’m a real b**** and I don’t play those games. I don’t play those games at all. Period. Everybody knows that. Keep my name out your mouth and have a good f***ing night. The One is out now.”

This all began when her A&R Reginald Saunders went on social media to make some comments towards Nicki Minaj about the lack of promotion for the single “BAPS.”

“I want to address the issue so bad about this #BAPS record and VIDEO and it’s taking everything inside of me to remain quiet,” he wrote. This isn’t the first time @nickiminaj has pulled this stunt and trust me it’s cool. I can’t get over how fake people can be for a Lil fame , likes and followers. when everyone tried to warn me I still gave her the benefit of the doubt,” he continued. “I can’t wait to see how all of this is about to play out because you can’t stop karmas reign, shame on you.”

His comments are now deleted.
