i Minaj is having a bad week.
Firstly, Minaj’s new album “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up” is not doing well sales-wise, and secondly, she is engaged in a Twitter tussle with former American Idol judge, Steven Taylor.
And who is to blame? Target and Wal-Mart, apparently.
Speaking to New York’s Power 105.1, Minaj said these two retailers were responsible for the poor sales. “It is hard to get the album because the stores basically said that the last few re-releases they had put out did not do well and they didn’t want to take a chance,” she said.

“So, Target and Wal-Mart are not selling the album. Target is actually my biggest retailer – they’ve always been my biggest retailer. They’ve sold the most Nicki Minaj albums ever, so, thank you, Target. But I wish you could’ve sold this one.” Similarly, Best Buy too decided to take only limited quantities because they wanted to play it safe, according to Minaj.
Frustration over dismal sales might be one of the reasons why Minaj decided to engage in a Twitter tussle with Taylor. Minaj, who is one of the judges in the current season of American Idol, blasted Taylor for reportedly making racist remarks against her.
In an interview with MTV, Aerosmith front man Taylor had slammed the judges on the show. “These kids, they just got out of a car from the Midwest somewhere and they’re in New York City, they’re scared to death; you’re not going to get the best [out of them]. … If it was Bob Dylan, Nicki Minaj would have had him sent to the cornfield! Whereas, if it was Bob Dylan with us, we would have brought the best of him out, as we did with Phillip Phillips. Just saying.”
Hearing this, Minaj took to Twitter to vent her feelings. She tweeted: “Steven Tyler said I would have sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield??? Steven, you haven’t seen me judge one single solitary contestant yet.”
“I understand you really wanted to keep your job but take that up with the producers. I haven’t done anything to you. That’s a racist comment. You assume that I wouldn’t have liked Bob Dylan??? why? black? rapper? what? go f–k yourself and worry about yourself babe.”
She also pointed out that when Taylor first appeared on the show, he was ridiculed by both his peers and fans. Therefore, Minaj believes he is not fit to ridicule the next judge.
