Nicki was furious...
Nicki Minaj has slammed Kylie Jenner for her role in helping Travis Scott to beat her album ‘Queen’ to no. 1 in the official album charts this week.
The New York rapper, who discovered the news last night, unleashed a huge Twitter rant at the pair following the success of Travis Scott’s ‘Astroworld’ album, which was released on 3rd August.
Questioning the credibility of the numbers, she wrote: “Travis sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. 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! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries.”

She then called out Billboard for their current chart rules.
I looked at the numbers the Carters, Kanye, Nas, etc recently did. Travis sold 200K in his first week of clothes alone. I spoke to him last night & he said he’s been selling clothes b4 the music. Billboard says they’ll change the rules cuz of this, so it should be changed now!

Before bringing Kylie Jenner and her baby Stormi into the argument. “I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling ppl to come see her & Stormi. lol.
“I’m actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans.”
