Nicki Minaj doesn’t play about her music and it looks like Torey Lanez learned that the hard way. Torey had a lot of well known artists on his new album Memories Don’t Die, but Nicki wasn’t one of them. Tory sat down with HotNewHipHop for an exclusive interview and revealed that Nicki asked to be taken off of his song “Shooters” after he tried to tell her something about her verse via text, y’all know how that can go!
“She was on ‘Shooters’ originally,” he revealed. “She was on the record first, and I was telling her something about the verse, I wasn’t saying it was bad or anything, her verse was incredible, and I’m also like a super-Nicki fan. But I was telling her something…I was texting her, and it may have came off in a different way, she probably read it in a different way than I said it.”
“I think it maybe kinda came off a little bit arrogant, or I kinda said something I shouldn’t have said about her verse,” he added. “She was like, ‘Well, ni**a, it’s not that serious. Take my verse off the thing.’”
It’s no beef though #Roommates, Tory says he still wants to work with Nicki.
“I love Nicki Minaj when it comes down to her music and the whole thing, but I’m not a reacher,” he added. “Once a n**ga says it’s quiet, it’s quiet. I’m fine with that. I’m a great musician. I’m gonna always create great music and I’ma be around for a very long time. Maybe in the future when the time is right, we’ll do something that’s right, that we both feel comfortable with.”
