Lauren Hill Adresses The Nicki Minaj Summer Jam Fiasco on Twitter!!

I’m kinda over the whole Nicki Minaj/Summer Jam Drama, but since Lauren Hill is close to a prophet in my eyes, I must post what Ms. Hill had to say about the debacle.

And in case your one of the few that don’t know… Nicki Minaj pulled out of the Summerjam lineup as the headliner under the direction of Lil Wayne on the day of the show, because of negative comments made by the morning show host Peter Rosenburg…

Sounds like Ms. Hill supports Nicki’s decision…

No disrespect to Nicki, but I need to clear up an inaccuracy. I was not scheduled to be a special guest on her set at Summer Jam, I was invited by Nas to perform with him. I don’t have details on exactly what transpired between the station and the artists, but I do support artists standing by their beliefs, and walking with integrity. We have to find a better way to commercially exploit music, while giving artists their proper respect. This cannot be done while taking their contributions for granted, or trying to control the scope of their growth and power through threats and fear tactics. We can do better than this, there is a better way, or else ‘we’ (the proverbial we) find ourselves in danger of being hypocrites!!!
