Earlier this week, NJ rapper Ransom (who collaborated with Nicki Minaj back in her underground days in 07/08) released a song with a line that seemed to insinuate that he wrote for the Young Money raptress way back when.
“Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs, I was doing verses for her, just hoping she made it big,” Ransom rapped on “Man Alone.” Now, that bar can be taken one of two ways. Either he’s saying he wrote for her, or he’s saying he was doing verses on her records before the fame. I hear it as the latter, but a lot of others didn’t really feel the same way. Paparazzi asked Nicki about it last night as she was leaving the club in L.A., and she seems to fall into the group that took it as he says he was ghostwriting. Check out what she said below.
For the record, Ransom took to his Twitter to deny he meant any harm. “As far as I know she writes her own,” he tweeted. Welp, guess it’s too late to backtrack now!
