Ever since Nicki Minaj deaded her twitter account, cutting off nearly 11 million followers, many of the extremely active members of her Barbz fan community have been frantically trying to figure out if this was just a temporary hiatus? Like a social media time out for some fan sites that angered her?
Meanwhile, Nicki has been in London doing press all week, along with her right hand man Safaree, and new team addition Manny Hailey (Keyshia Cole's former manager). She told UK TV host Graham Norton that a 'voice inside her head' told her to delete her twitter page.
But when she sat down with my UK radio boss, Tim Westwood'Nicki was much more blunt. Not only does she seem adamant about not re-activating her massive twitter account, but she also talks about 'leaving the game.' All of this delivered in a mix of British and Lil Wayne impersonation voices.
Tim gave us two exclusive snippets of the Nicki interview which will air on the Tim Westwood Show, this Saturday 9pm-11pm (London time) on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.
Tim Westwood: We miss you on twitter, baby. We can't stalk you properly when you're not on twitter. We started a trending topic' Here was our hashtag'
Nicki Minaj: (*reading outloud*) #NickiMinajPleaseComeBackToTwitterWeLoveYouAndItIsntTheSameWithoutYouDoItForTheBarbzAndKenAndEveryoneThatLoveToWearPinkOnAFridayGiveMeLife
TM: Are you gonna come back?
Nicki: (*pauses*)'.No.
TM: For real? Come on, baby.
Nicki: Tim, I can't.
Tim: We miss you.
Nicki: I miss my Barbs.
Tim: We want you back.
Nicki: (*English accent*) But I can't come back. I just can't. Don't make me, Tim. Please don't.
But then Nicki also expresses some frustration with not being appreciated'and confesses: 'The Kid is thinking maybe she should leave the game.'
