CELEB DIRT;
WHY NICKI THREW SHADE IN ‘DOWN IN THE DM
(REMIX)
When the remix of the song featuring Nicki
Minaj dropped, with two verses on it, it was pretty clear Nicki was firing
shots to fellow stars, Kylie, Tyga, Drake and Miley. The song quickly shot to
top 20 in the Billboards Hot 100. Nicki promoted the song by posting a short
video on instagram with the last parts of the first verse which she raps,
“He said, Kylie was good,
I
said ‘Miley wuss’ good?’
I
said could you pay my bills
Like
O’Reilly wuss’ good
I
just sit back, and observe
All
these niggas that I done curved
If
it go down on your dm, then baby boy you lucky,
Cause 99.99% of these fuckboys, can’t fuck
me”
How did all these beefs begin?
It’s pretty obvious that Nicki was not
expected to get along with Drake after the beef with Meek Mill, and since Nicki
has not been open about her opinion on the feud, why not put it in a song;
after all she always ditches the question, just like she did with the interview
with New York Times.
Nicki cannot directly attack Drake since
they are under the same label (Young Money) and she owes the success of ‘Anaconda’,
‘Only’ and ‘Truffle butter’ to him.
Where did the beef come in? well, in ‘back
to back’ Drake raps; “ If you love her ,you gotta give the world to her ,is
that a world tour or your girls tour?” then, “Shot out to my boss bitches
wifin’ niggas!” referring to the fact that Nicki is 12 times richer than Meek.
Loud and clear Nicki responds the song by
rapping, “I said could you pay my bills
Like
O’Reilly wuss’ good?” asking Drake if he can afford to pay her bills instead.
When Miley was asked to comment on the
twitter feud between Taylor Swift, she responded by referring to Nicki as ‘a
not so kind person’, this made Nicki angry. Taylor and Nicki were in good terms
after Taylor apologized
for the misunderstanding. During the VMAs they performed ‘Bad blood’ and ‘The
night is still young’ together and since Nicki had been nominated for Best Hip
hop Video, which she won and during the acceptance speech, she begun by
thanking her fans and pastor…funny ha? She then turned to Miley who was hosting
the show and said. “Back to this bitch that had a lot to say about me to the
press, MILEY, WHATS GOOD?”
This went viral. The social sites blew up
almost instantly. To show the beef is still on Nicki repeated her phrase in the
song ‘I said ‘Miley wuss’ good?’
With Tyga you can see clearly that they don’t
get along if you can read between the lines. Tyga made it pretty clear he does get
along with neither Drake, nor Nicki. Since then, ‘Senile’ was their last song
together, and Nicki has been throwing shade to his relationship with Kylie when
she was an underage.
As a matter of fact,
in the ‘Feeling myself’ video Nicki is seen dancing in a Shirt written ‘PERVERT’
and the number 17 below it, which meant Tyga is a pervert for dating a 17 year
old. Drake also mentions it in his song Energy by saying ‘Fucking with a kid, I
pray for you nigga…”
Well,
if you never knew, now you know.
