Lil Wayne Hot New 'Tha Carter V' Album Release 2015: Nicki Minaj Says Weezy, Birdman Feud Will End Soon Because They'll Work It Out 'Like a Family' [Listen]
Nicki Minaj opened up about the ongoing feud between Lil Wayne and Cash Money CEO Birdman this week.
It has been reported that Wayne, who filed a lawsuit against his label seeking $51 million for not releasing his "Tha Carter V" album, plans to take all his Young Money protégés Minaj and Drake with him when he parts ways with Baby.
In an interview with BBC Radio 1Xtra's Charlie Sloth on Thursday, the Trinidadian emcee was asked whether she would leave Cash Money Records with Weezy.
"I don't think it'll ever get to that point," she replied. "First of all, people know I love Wayne and I have loyalty towards him, but I love Baby, too. I mean, I'm very close with Baby, I don't think people know that."
"So I'm banking on the fact that they're going to work this out like family," she continued. "They've gone through things before just like family does, and it is what it is, they're gonna get through it. I'm not even gonna think that way."
The "Anaconda" hitmaker has actually been maintaining her neutral position so far, when it comes to the YMCMB controversy.
On Sirius XM's Shade 45 Station back in December, she similarly said that the team is a family, even if they are not always the "best of friends" and "chummy chummy." But she said that their love for each other is what helps them push through their problems.
"I know that Wayne and Baby love each other, and I know they're going to resolve anything that needs to be resolved," she said. "I am Young Money. I ride with Wayne on whatever -- that's just how I am. But Baby has played such a huge role in my mental stability," she added.
In addition, Minaj expressed how she feels after Tyga leaked her "Pinkprint" track, "Truffle Butter."
"The song was on my album and ummm, we don't know how, but it magically ended up in Tyga's hands. And I told him, I was like, 'That's my song.' I told him that me and Drake were gonna be on it, and low and behold, it leaked with him on it after I told him not to put it out,'" she explained.
"I thought that was a little bit disrespectful, because I had always shown him love. I had always done stuff with him, took him on tour with me, and I thought it was disrespectful because I am the Queen of Young Money," she added. "And then he said some stuff that I ain't feel. But he texted me after and he apologized and he said, 'You always were there for me.' And I respected him for saying that. ... It's all good, I ain't mad at all."
