Nicki Minaj Apologizes After T-Pain Says She Curved Him In 2007

T Pain Says Nicki Minaj Hurt His Feelings When She Ghosted Him In 2007 – Nicki Apologizes

T-Pain recently sat down for an interview with the 85 South Show where he recounted the time that Nicki Minaj had him in his feelings. Back in 2007 when Nicki wasn’t mainstream, T-Pain said that he tried to reach out to her in an attempt to lock her down in the studio.

“We was about to work together and she stopped responding and I was like, ‘Nick, let me know what’s going on,'” he began. “She was like, ‘Hey, I’m an artist too and I’m working on my shit so ya know. Baby, chill.’ And I was like, ‘Oh… My heart.'”

The prolific singer joked that he may have been in love with Nicki at the time but in actuality, he explained that Nicki’s quick curve wasn’t anything malicious.

Nicki caught wind of Pain’s interview and quickly offered an apology to him. Though she didn’t remember the actual exchange, Onika said that it did sound like something that she would’ve said.

“Omg what was I thinking? He was already a rlly big artist. I was still underground. Chileeee I used to b buggin yo,” she wrote, admitting that she already felt the weight of everyone’s expectations of her.

“My bad babe, all love. I have nthn but respect for your talent and thank you & Kanye for clearing ‘Go Hard’ for Beam Me Up Scotty last month.”

Nicki expressed her adoration for Pain on that record in particular. “Listening to you over & over on that record taught me [so much] about harmonies & background vocals,” she continued. “Your vocals on that song alone are GOATED FOR LIFE. I listened to every single detail @tpain.”
