According to TMZ, sources close to Nicki revealed the "Megatron" rapper was not trying to diss Rosa Parks in any shape or form.
Nicki was allegedly using her in what she thought was a clever metaphor aimed at her haters.
With Nicki dropping the bars on Rosa Parks birthday, she apparently did not arrange it intentionally.
