Since the front page of the FFA is dominated with music topics I thought, "What the hell? Let's add another!"
Nicki Minaj and Tracy Chapman are currently in the midst of the following music controversy which has some Nicki fans attacking Tracy Chapman on social media:
Nicki Minaj was forced to dump her version of Tracy Chapman‘s hit song “Baby Can I Hold You” off her new album, Queen, after the alternative music legend denied her request to sample the song.
The 35-year-old rapper took to social media to inform her fans that Queen — originally scheduled to drop on August 10 — was delayed a week while she sought permission from Chapman to sample “Baby Can I Hold You” for her new song titled “Sorry”.
But Chapman, 54, refused to clear the sample for Nicki’s new song featuring her ex-lover Nas.
Permission was presumably denied because Chapman, a musical perfectionist, is not a fan of Nicki’s raps or her singing.
New York DJ Funkmaster Flex got ahold of the deleted album track and played it on his radio show over the weekend, prompting Nicki to post the now-deleted tweet “Sis said no”, suggesting Chapman didn’t like her rap track.
