Minaj then took to Instagram to elaborate on her thoughts.

They move the goalposts when it comes to me because in order for them to uplift the people who they want to shine, the people who these corporate giants can make the money off of, the people who control a lot of things behind the scenes, they have to elevate someone that they profit off, Nicki Minaj, via Instagram.

There is an agenda because I am not signed to a 360, and for years, there was a certain label that had to pay me nonstop for their features, Nicki Minaj, via Instagram.

And I noticed it was something weird when a certain person started recently saying out of nowhere, ‘Oh, “Super Freaky Girl” is pop.’ He’s always at the center of something that is happening against me.

… Y’all, this s*** has got to stop, Nicki Minaj, via Instagram
