Amidst false reports about her album sales,Β Nicki MinajΒ just flexed on every one of her haters with a screenshot of the official worldwide sales for her last album, TheΒ Pinkprint​. The discussion seemed to come up when theΒ ChartNews Twitter accountΒ tweeted that the project has 946,000 copies worldwide up to this point.

Nicki quickly cleared any rumors up and revealed that, with streams included, the album is currently triple platinum worldwide. She explained that she, and other artists, will be credited for streams in anΒ upcoming court ruling, which will retroactively add in The PinkprintΒ streams from SpotifyΒ and other services. According to Nicki, this also means she'll receive the appropriate plaques for said album, and that on Spotify alone, the album has sold over 1.4 million copies to this point. Get your flex on, Nicki. The Grammy-nominatedΒ PinkprintΒ is available on iTunes here.Β

The fact that our music is given away for free then when we take credit for our actual REAL sales, we're "lying"? Sad. Universal is happy πŸ’•
