As you know, there’s a lot of tension going on over at the YMCMB headquarters. Lil Wayne and Birdman are at odds, making for a seemingly awkward place for the artists under that umbrella like Drake and Nicki Minaj. In a recent interview about the whole melee, Birdman was quoted as saying:

“Nicki and Drake ain’t going nowhere, regardless. Both of them – very. And I got much respect for both of them, because they got enough respect for Dwayne Carter and Bryan Williams. You’ll never hear nothing out their mouth’s negative about either of us, because we both have blessed their lives. So Nicki and Drake, regardless of what’s goes down with us, they not going anywhere.”

(Am I the only one that feels like that whole statement was super scary and menacing?)

On Twitter last night, a fan asked Nicki her thoughts on what Birdman said, and she replied the following:

“The feeling is mutual. He’s one of my best teachers and most genuine friends. I’m glad he spoke his peace.”

I can agree that Nicki probably isn’t going anywhere, as she’s never once complained about her contract or any issues, and has always stuck by Birdman and Wayne’s side. No rumors of a rift, nothing. As for Drake – how often do you hear him shouting out YMCMB these days? Hmm! It’s pretty clear he’s taking off on the first thing smoking as soon as he’s out of his contractual obligations. (It’s one more album as far as I know.)

I do hope Wayne and Birdman can eventually get on the same page too, though.
