When Nicki Minaj faced unexpected criticism from Kendrick Perkins, her close ally Lil Wayne did not hold back in her defense.
- In a surprising twist, NBA commentator Kendrick Perkins aimed a jab at Nicki Minaj, sparking backlash not only from fans but also from Lil Wayne.
- Perkins’ attempt to liken a trade analogy to Nicki’s prowess didn’t sit well with the Barbz or Lil Wayne.
- Despite past calls for Wayne to defend Nicki, this incident proved their bond remains strong.
- As anticipation builds for Lil Wayne’s upcoming album, it’s clear he’s ready to stand by Nicki whenever needed.
Kendrick Perkins probably didn’t see it coming when he made a comment involving Nicki Minaj during a sports analogy on ESPN. He compared the Golden State Warriors’ trade decision to acquiring a former player with less star power, mentioning Nicki as if she were a bargaining chip. Clearly, this didn’t go over well with her fans.
Lil Wayne, a long-time collaborator and friend of Nicki’s, didn’t mince words in his response. When Perkins attempted an apology, it wasn’t enough to placate the angered Barbz. “The Warriors thought they was getting a Taylor Swift or a Beyoncé and ended up getting a #kendrickperkins Stop playin bish,” was Wayne’s blunt reaction, shared boldly on social media.
This isn’t the first time fans have wanted Wayne to step in for Nicki. There have been times, like during her Grammys snubs, where his support seemed more subdued. However, when it mattered this time, Wayne showed up for Nicki, echoing their mutual respect and support for one another.
Nicki has demonstrated her support for Wayne, too, mentioning how his contributions to hip-hop will last. She reassured him that his legacy is far more enduring than momentary setbacks and public disputes, even as he wasn’t part of the Super Bowl halftime show this year.
Although this exchange with Perkins might fade, it’s a clear signal that Lil Wayne is prepared to defend Nicki openly and energetically. This is especially relevant with his new album, Tha Carter VI, on the horizon. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release, and perhaps further demonstrations of this powerful alliance.
Lil Wayne’s loyalty to Nicki Minaj remains unwavering, proving that their connection transcends temporary controversies.
