Nicki Minaj Wanted To Hop On Beyoncé’s "Sorry," Says "Yikes" Isn’t Her Next Single

The rapper appeared at the Pollstar Live Conference.

It's been ana eventful day for Nicki Minaj. The Queens rapper spent Wednesday (February 5) entangled in a shady back-and-forth spat with ex-boyfriend Meek Mills—a heated social media argument that included accusations of domestic violence and child sexual abuse cover-ups. There's no love lost between the former couple, and while the tense exchange seemed to get Nicki upset, she looked as if she didn't have a care in the world during the Pollstar Live Conference.

This evening, Nicki appeared at the event at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles where she spoke openly during the live Q&A session. She covered a myriad of topics during the chat, but unsurprisingly, the Champions rapper was not a main topic of discussion. However, Nicki had a wide grin on her face when asked about the Twitter exchange and she playfully said that she was "hacked." Nicki was also asked if there was a song she wished she could have collaborated on and she shared that one of Beyoncé's Lemonade tracks stood out to her.

"No, you know which song I wish—when I heard Beyoncé's album and she did a song called 'Sorry,' I was like girl, why you ain't let me talk bars on that? I was thinking in my head 'cause I love that song." A snippet of Nicki's song "Yikes" played overhead at one point and she reportedly revealed that the Instagram previewed track wasn't her next single.

"It's not my single, my single will be launched with a visual," Nicki stated. "This is a setup song with no video. Please don't kill me y'all. You guys asked me for that one." Check out a few clips of her appearance below.

Akademiks Unleashes On Nav After Canadian Rapper Insults Him On Twitter

This was random.

We just couldn't skate through the last day of the decade without igniting one more social media beef. Yesterday, 50 Cent and French Montana engaged in a back-and-forth Instagram meme battle as they hurled insults at one another, and it looks as if today the torch has been passed to DJ Akademiks and Nav.

Things kicked off after Nav tweeted, "Akademiks hop on and off d*ck so much he prolly got STDs." The message came following Nav's recent revelation that he sees himself more as a producer than an artist. Whatever the catalyst was for him to share that insult isn't known, but AK didn't waste a moment in responding.

"Imagine being rich asf driving to where paparazzi is at in a half a million dollar car and a million in jewelry and catching feelings cuz no one noticed u," Akademiks wrote, referencing Nav's previous interviews where he spoke about going out and being ignored by paparazzi. "Seems like u d*ck riding the media. U hid ya face for the first year u blew up now u desperately want attention. Answer that."

Akademiks went at Nav on both Instagram and Twitter, resulting in the Canadian rapper to follow up with, "Wasn’t referring to myself, I even phrased it as an observation..looks like I struck a chord ???‍♂️." That wasn't good enough for Akademiks, who called Nav out. "Back Peddling. address u dying for attention & being salty u didn’t get it. That’s why u call out a media n*gga. I ain’t never seen u call out a Rapper. Why? N*ggas stole ur Style & went further wit it and u had to smile while u hurt inside u ain’t never call them out on twitter."

"I post about the rappers who are hot," Akademiks explained. "If you cold.. i wont be posting about u.. if u aint doing sh*t.. i wont be posting about u. its not d*ckriding... i dont get no money wit none of yall. its called doing wat the f*ck i want and covering who is hot." He added that beefing with him doesn't give anyone points and told Nav to stick to subtweeting him like other artists. Check out more from their exchange below.
