Erica Banks Explains Nicki Minaj Controversy; Says Nicki Blocked Her & She’s ‘Hurt & In Shambles’
After fans tried to claim Erica Banks unfollowed Nicki Minaj, she has gone live to address the controversy and clear her name, claiming Nicki blocked her! Things all began after fellow rapper/singer Yung Baby Tate complained about the wait for a Nicki collab, despite love being consistently shown. Tate said, “Nicki has still never dmd me back after years of me giving her flowers and love then having one of the most viewed videos on her challenge lol I highly doubt sending [her my song] would garner a response atp (at this point) *tear face emoji*.” Erica was caught liking the photo and fans immediately went on to discover she wasn’t following Nicki.
However, Erica shuts down claims of her unfollowing the megastar, and says, “I need to clear some things up, because this is my favorite artist. I have a lot of respect for her, enough to even get on here and clear this up; because, I don’t need this narrative being painted of me.” She goes on to explain, “First of all, I never unfollowed Nicki Minaj. Nicki Minaj blocked me, y’all. I’m talking about, I’m in shambles, like ‘What is going on?’ I had a real fan moment and I could not believe it. I meant no harm by what I said. If you know, you know. If you don’t, you don’t. But, I made a comment on a post that I agreed with and I was coming form a fan’s point of view.”

Erica continues explaining that her POV wasn’t about not getting a feature with Nicki, and that being blocked truly “hurt” her. “It’s not about the feature. It’s deeper than that. It’s about the love that we fans have for Nicki Minaj, and wondering why we haven’t worked with Nicki Minaj.” Fellow rapper Maliibu Miitch also chimed in to condemn “entitled” rappers and defend Nicki. #Socialites, thoughts?
