“Travis sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc.” the “Barbie Dreams” MC tweeted. “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! … 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries.”

Minaj then went on to claim that Spotify penalized her by taking away a promotion “they had promised for the 1st cpl days” because she played her album “10 mins early” on an Apple Music Radio show.
“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 a& therefore they had to teach me a lesson,” she wrote.
She also wrote that her label “didn’t want to defend me” fear of Spotify trying to teach Ariana [Grande] a ‘lesson’ too!”

“Spotify supported Nicki Minaj with a Times Square billboard, a host of the largest playlists, New Music Friday and the new music release shelf,” a rep for the streaming service told Variety. “Her song ‘Bed’ actually saw an increase based on the promotions put behind the campaign. The company continues to be big fans of Nicki.”
