With Queen being fresh out, Nicki should be on her throne, yet it seems people are throwing tomatoes at her, instead of flowers.
Nicki Minaj released her new album Queen on August 10th, and time has passed enough for billboard to update the Billboard Top 200 Albums.
#Queen by @NickiMinaj has debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 185,000 units (78,000 in pure sales). It becomes her fourth Top 10 album. pic.twitter.com/aKaKjqBTG7

Now, unless you\’ve been hiding underneathe a rock (or don\’t really care), Nicki Minaj is not pleased or convinced about these numbers.
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 ♥️ pic.twitter.com/CiYEuczgm3

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!

Many people are actually laughing and making fun of Nicki, basically diminsihing her claims that Billboard got it wrong with this weeks numbers.
Nicki Minaj is moving like Donald Trump. This album could do as well as it is but she can’t lose the popular vote in her mind. If Travis Scott gets number 1 she will claim fake news and then we will have proof that she’s really lost it. She’s actually become her own enemy.
