Nicki Minaj Having a Breakdown Over Sales? Thug's 'Slime Language' Review | Everyday Struggle

On the Monday August 20th episode of #EverydayStruggle, DJ Akademiks, Nadeska and Wayno talk about Nicki Minaj's public meltdown over her 'Queen' album sales. Despite her big promo run, the album moved approximately 185,000 copies in its first week, which means that Travis Scott keeps the #1 spot for a second week in a row with another 205K copies of 'Astroworld.' In response, Nicki Minaj accused Akademiks of spreading 'fake news,' and attacked Spotify, Drake, Pitchfork and media in general for being out to get her. Is Nicki having a full meltdown over the numbers? Meanwhile, Young Thug finally dropped 'Slime Language,' Kodak Black is home from jail, Drake is still taking shots at Kanye West and Tay-K has been put in solitary confinement behind bars.
