Excuse me?” Minaj remarked, emotionally highlighting the impact of the situation on her.
Nicki’s Pain and the Lack of Support from Quavo
Minaj also shared her distress regarding Quavo’s lack of support during the controversy. She recounted asking Quavo to confirm her side of the story publicly to dispel rumors, but he declined, stating he would have supported her had she been his girlfriend. This response, according to Minaj, was hurtful, given their close relationship.
