Nicki Minaj is having a meltdown on social media after her new album Queen debut at No. 2 on the Billboard chart this week.
Travis Scott’s new album Astroworld held onto the No. 1 spot on Billboard after his second-week sales beat out Nicki Minaj’s first week sales. Astroworld sold 205,000 album equivalent units in the second week, while Queen sold 185,000 album equivalent units in the first week of release, according to the Chart Data. Nicki is apparently not too happy about that and is blaming everyone including Kylie Jenner.
In a rant on Twitter, Nicki Minaj claimed that Kylie Jenner posted a tour pass that helped Travis Scott sold more albums than her. “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,” she tweeted. “lol. I’m actually laughing. #Queen broke the record of being number 1 in 86 countries. Thank Jesus & thank you to my fans.”
“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 continues.

My first album sold 400K. No one is doing that with debut albums now. So I’m so grateful. I lost out on 12 hours of sales and did 200K in one week after I was supposedly cancelled. I bit my tongue last #QueenRadio but I won’t On Tuesday. I love you guys so much

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!
