In light of the recent differences between Young Money artist Nicki Minaj and Funkmaster Flex, Hot 97 radio personality Angie Martinez is standing alongside her fellow employee by agreeing that Nicki should have still performed at Summer Jam despite everything that went down.
"At some point, somebody could've stopped this. Behind the scenes, things happen all the time, it's the truth. Labels argue with the station, we argue with the artists, we kiss, we make up. We all are just trying to do our jobs. It happened in the middle of Summer Jam when [Hot 97 program director] Ebro is dealing with a hundred artists [and] a million backstage passes."
Angie then says that Peter Rosenberg, who's in the center of this entire situation, may have made a bad decision when he took a shot at Nicki Minaj's "Starships" track but thinks the matter could have been resolved.
"I'm sure Nicki felt [disrespected] ... [Rosenberg] probably didn't realize it was going to be such a big deal, I think he was just in the zone. In my personal opinion, maybe not the best time to have said that when she's coming to the building -- but I still think they should have performed. It wasn't that serious, and honestly, they probably would've resolved it if everybody had just calmed down."
Most recently, Rosenberg stated that he will no apologize to Minaj for what he said and Nicki let it be known that she doesn't want an apology.
