Nicki Minaj slammed for comparing herself to Harriet Tubman: Nicki Minaj’s latest tweet about Harriet Tubman was a head-scratcher.

The 35-year-old rapper, who named her new album “Queen,” took to Twitter Monday to share her definition of a royal: “All the QUEENS I remember, SHOOK (IT) UP!!!!!!!!” Queen of the week may go to HARTIET TUBMAN!!!!! Had she just sat there & ate her rice, you niggaz history would’ve been a lot less triumphant.

These days Nicki Minaj has been covered with a lot of controversies. Whether she is bullied by people for collaborating with 6IX9INE or her Ex-boyfriend accuses controversy And last day she made another tweet that attracts a lot of heat.

Minaj went on to laud Harriet Tubman, the abolitionist icon who helped free slaves through the Underground Railroad, as a “Queen of the week.”

“Had she just sat there & ate her rice, you (expletive) history would’ve been a lot less triumphant,” she continued, adding a unicorn emoji.

The “Barbie Dreams” rapper instantly faced backlash on Twitter for comparing herself to the famed revolutionary.

One Twitter user said Minaj’s tweet was worse than Kanye West’s bizarre comment on slavery being a choice. Back in May, West told TMZ Live: “When you hear about slavery for 400 years … like, you was there for 400 years and it’s all of y’all?! It’s like we’re mentally in prison.”

User @ASAPVick_ tweeted: “Comparing your album sales to Harriet Tubman’s fight for freedom is the most stupid commentary on slavery in 2018 and that includes Kanye saying slavery was a choice.”

Another social media user failed to see the comparison: “I’m not sure if there’s a person in the US alive today who can respectfully compare (themselves) to ‘Harriet Tubman.’

One Twitter user called the tweet disrespectful. “What are you doing that is even remotely in correlation with Harriet Tubman? This is an actually question to not shade,” the user tweeted.

But some of Minaj’s fans jumped to her defense, saying the tweet was an attempt to pay homage to Tubman. “She was calling her a queen she wasn’t comparing (herself),” said user @PAPIITOMII.

she was calling her a queen she wasnt comparing herslef — 🧝🏿‍♀️ (@PAPIITOMII) August 20, 2018

Minaj laughed it off once she realized her comments had gone viral.

“Y’all I had no idea Harriet Tubman was now trending. I said what I said. #QueenRadio will honor her tmrw. She said she could’ve rescued more slaves had they known they were slaves. I fought for streaming services to count toward billboard when alotta (people) stayed quiet,” she tweeted.

Minaj has been on a Twitter tirade over the weekend after “Queen” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, behind Travis Scott’s “Astroworld.”

She has called out everyone from Scott and Kylie Jenner to Spotify and Drake.

Travis sold over 50K of these. With no requirement of redeeming the album! With no dates for a tour, etc. I spoke to him. He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week. I love my fans for the #1 album in AMERICA! I’ll explain on #QueenRadio 4 albums in, #1 in 86 countries ♥️ pic.twitter.com/CiYEuczgm3 — Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) August 19, 2018

Spotify had to teach me a lesson but rewarded the man who has had an Apple radio show the longest; inadvertently helping the Apple platform the most. Oh I can’t wait for #QueenRadio on Tuesday. They took away my promotion they had promised for the 1st cpl days b/c of this. #Queen — Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) August 19, 2018

Spotify put drake’s face on every playlist but told me they’d have to teach me a lesson for playing my music 10 mins early on #QueenRadio. Even tho they’ve been giving away my music for free for years & I am one of the top Spotify artists of all time. — Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) August 19, 2018

Minaj accused the youngest Jenner sister of using her social following to inflate Scott’s album sales. Jenner shared a link to her boyfriend’s website last week with her 113 million Instagram followers, along with an announcement that their six-month-old daughter Stormi would be joining them on tour.
