No disrespect to Nicki, but I need to clear up an inaccuracy. I was not scheduled to be a special guest on her set at Summer Jam, I was invited by Nas to perform with him. I don't have details on exactly what transpired between the station and the artists, but I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics. We can do better than this, there is a better way, or else 'we' (the proverbial we) find ourselves in danger of being hypocrites!!!

Yeah, he's banned. Now edit that out before someone reports you for relaying messages from banned members. Trust no bitch.
Wait. Why did she tweet Lauryn's name anyway? Was she trying to get the barbz hyped....
I feel MUCH better knowing we didn't miss her stepping on the stage with Lauryn. Now it's time to bury Hot 97 in the dust. Who want war?
No I don't think so. Ms. Hill just confirmed that she wasn't scheduled to be a certified guest on Nicki's set but also discussed how she didn't deserve to be disrespected.
And you bitches wonder why Nicki is weary of who to **** with. This whole situation is a hot ass mess.

On the contrary RS, history was indeed made. Standing up 4urself, knowing ur worth, demanding 2b treated w/respect. I've earned it. #Oh
That's why I can't harbor any kind of negative feelings towards Nicki, because I completely feel her. This is much more than just Summer Jam. It's the principle.

We did. Nicki wasn't bringing Lauryn. Nicki was bringing Nas who was bring Lauryn. It's just semantics.
