Nicki Minaj has lashed out at Spotify, saying that the streamer "took away my promotion" after her new album "Queen" failed to debut at #1. Minaj also dragged Drake and Travis Scott into the controversy during an epic series of tweets.
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

Minaj believes that Spotify failed to promote her new because of her relationship with Apple Music. She recently launched her own show on Apple Music's Beats 1, playing some of her album and tweeting out it fans before it was available on Spotify and elsewhere.

The rapper aimed particular fire at Drake, who despite once having a strong relationship with Apple Music, was featured very heavily across Spotify during his latest release and Travis Scott, who beat her to #1.
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.

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
