Nicki Minaj has come under heavy backlash because of her recent political affiliations. But that isn’t stopping New York City artist French Montana from giving her her flowers.
French Montana Gives Nicki Minaj Her Flowers
During a recent sit-down with Complex’s Jordan Rose, French was asked if he felt like Minaj was getting her due as the GOAT female rapper. And he said that he didn’t feel like Minaj was receiving her flowers. But he believes that is par for the course when you look at the history of how many legends are treated.
“Look what they’re doing to [Floyd] Mayweather. Look what they did to Michael [Jackson] before Michael died. All the greats got crucified. They don’t appreciate you until you’re not here, bro,” French said. “Everybody was going through it, bro. Look what they’re doing to Jay[-Z]. They’re just dragging him in and out of court. Every other day. Name one person who got their flowers right now.”
He also shouted out to Nicki at the end of his rant.
Minaj’s alignment with the Trump administration has led to significant backlash from the hip-hop community. But she doesn’t appear to be bothered by it one bit.
During a sit-down with Erika Kirk at the Turning Point USA conference back in December, Minaj suggested the people who are critical of her are really “disgruntled” themselves. And as far as the backlash is concerned, Minaj said that her haters can “stay mad.”
“The other people, they’re the ones who are still just disgruntled. So really, they’re just disgruntled with themselves. They are angry with themselves, you guys,” she said. “So you can’t wake up and think about somebody who is determined to just stay mad. I literally tell them, ‘Stay mad.’ ‘Cause we’re going to stay joyful and peaceful and iconic and smart. And we’re going to stay thinkers in a world that doesn’t want us to think. We will think. By ourselves, on our own. We will continue to think.”
