Nicki Minaj accuses Elliott Wilson of tarnishing her image

 Nicki Minaj has accused Elliott Wilson, a veteran Hip Hop journalist, of trying to "tarnish" her image. Wilson posted a photo of the rapper twerking during her appearance on Kai Cenat's Twitch livestream and captioned it as "Hip Hop journalism". Nicki took issue with Wilson's dig and clapped back on X (formerly Twitter), writing: "Elliot if you’d spit JayZ dikk out for one second, you’d be able to be happy for the new comers. Isn’t that how y’all tried to tarnish my image? By saying I’m not welcoming new btchs in? Did songs with all of them tho. Why you not happy for a young black man like Kai. Tmrw btch." ¹²

Nicki Minaj later added on Instagram Live: "You know how many tweets I’ve seen you post disrespecting me, Idiot Wilson? […] Nobody owes you shit, hoe n-gga. Fuck you!" ¹

Elliott Wilson, who serves as TIDAL’s Chief Content Officer, has been critical of Hip Hop artists in recent months for allegedly snubbing rap media outlets and instead doing interviews and podcasts with people he labels "outsiders". ¹¹: [HipHopDX](https://hiphopdx.com/news/id.67735/title.nicki-minaj-new-album-return-of-mixtape-nicki)
