Nicki Minaj seems to have ruffled a few feathers after crediting herself for playing a pivotal role in "reintroducing" female rappers to the pop culture lexicon. 

But the head Barb is here to clear the air once and for all. 

Tuesday evening (Oct. 17), Nicki took to Instagram to address her comments in a lengthy Instagram post. "I see ppl remixing my words so let me post 'exactly' what I said for the intelligent ones in the back," the "Feeling Myself" rapper began. "Now, if you can find the part where I said 'I made female rappers mainstream,' I'll give you $100,000.00." 

"Blogs & tv shows don't care to do actual research these days," she continued. "They only care about what grabs your attention... at anyone's expense. Imagine me saying I made female rappers mainstream when there were so many women who already had platinum albums under their belts." 

As previously reported, during an in-depth interview with XXL, the Queens lyricist spoke at great length about her distinctive brand and how she's helped bring female lyricists back to the forefront. “My role in hip-hop has been super unique because when my first album came out, there had been so much time where there wasn’t a female rap album out that went platinum,” Nicki explained. “There wasn’t a big female rap presence right before I got in. So, my role was really reintroducing the female rapper to pop culture.”

And, as you would expect, once the internet caught wind of Nicki's comments, the backlash began to fly almost immediately. But, if you ask the Trinidadian beauty, "the social media band wagon era" needs to fine tune their comprehension skills.
