Previously, Nicki Minaj commented on the state of rap, pointing out that a majority of the top 10 rap songs on the iTunes rap charts in the U.S. was white rappers. Since then, many have given their opinion on Minaj’s comments, including Wale, who agrees with her.
Via The Shade Room, Wale gave his thoughts, saying “I see no lies. White artist songs are instantly “pop” songs and not urban. Miguel got to be “urban” Sam Smith can be “pop” wit the same exact song.. nobody wanna say it tho because of the backlash.. The white artist know it too.. they won’t disagree.”
Wale’s response came after Minaj posted a video to her IG of J. Cole speaking about white musicians in Jazz music and how that compares to now.
Take a look at Wale’s comment above.
