All is good again between Nicki Minaj and Quavo after “The Pinkprint” rhymer said he didn’t back her up when people accused her of lying about “MotorSport,” the song she’s on with him and Cardi B.

Nicki shared news about the reconciliation on social media by posting a video of her and the Migos member sitting in a room, while they profiled for the camera.

“He apologized. Y’all can stop torturing him now,” she wrote to her fans, the Barbs. “The generous queen forgives. When he told me what y’all were doing in them comments, I fell TF out. Love you guys, though. For life.”

It was just a few days ago, that Minaj shed tears while recalling how Quavo handled the “MotorSport” controversy. Not only did people accuse the Young Money spitter of changing her verse after she heard Cardi’s, it was rumored that she didn’t even know Cardi was going to be on the song.

“With ‘MotorSport,’ I kinda felt ambushed,” she told Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 show. “At the time, I went on Twitter and explained how ‘MotorSport’ came about, and people were saying that I was lying. So I texted Quavo and I said ‘Hey, could you back me up on this?’ Because I don’t want people to think I’m lying. What do I have to lie about?’ And he didn’t back me up.”

“He texted me, he was like ‘I would go on Twitter and back you up if you were my girl lol,’ “added Minaj. “And that hurt, because he’s somebody … I love him … It hurt my feelings to know that people would watch me be slaughtered, and not one person will step in to say the truth. They’ll allow people to run with the lie because it’s entertaining to make Nicki seem like a bad guy.”

Now whether things are okay between Ms. Minaj and Cardi is another story entirely since they haven’t given any indication that their issues are resolved.

But the “Bodak Yellow” spitter did acknowledge Nicki’s interview but said she wasn’t going to respond.

“I’m not getting involved with the hype,” tweeted Cardi, which her followers seemed pleased about. You can read some of their reactions below.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
