In 2018, Nicki Minaj was furious over the way Travis Scott used bundles to keep her out of the top spot.
"Travis Scott wins Hoe N*gga of the Week, by a landslide. He out here selling f*cking clothes got y'all thinking he selling fu*king music," she said after the second week of his Astroworld beat the first week of her Queen album.
She still has that energy.
This week, Scott's rerelease of Days Before Rodeo is challenging Sabrina Carpenter's Short 'n Sweat for number one on the charts.
Nicki is encouraging her Barbz to stream Carpenter's album by shouting Sabrina out.

Sabrina thanked her for her support while acknowledging her issues with Scott.
Context: Travis Scott blocked Nicki Minaj from #1. He’s now trying to block Sabrina too, but she’s fighting back. Hence why “this one’s for Nicki” https://t.co/xgCNXLgVBJ
