During the interview, the R&B singer said Meek played her the song, and it was supposed to be hers, but he later gave it to Nicki. In the past, Michelle said the Young Money rapper thought she and Meek were having sex, so she didn’t want her to have the record. The “Love ‘Em All” crooner also claimed that Nicki sent her fans to attack her back then.

“The only reason I had ‘Anyone Wanna Buy a Heart,’ is because you played me the record to get my opinion and you didn’t keep the record so they gave me the record,” Michelle explained. “Why do me like that and you in jail? … She telling people to take my Dream Chaser’s chain, and I wasn’t even wearing it.”

Harper then asked if Nicki ever got the chain back, and Michelle said she didn’t.

“Hell naw, bitch.” Michelle stated.

The singer then said that although she’s no longer mad at Ms. Minaj, they can never be cool with each other. But she feels totally differently about Meek.

“I want Meek to do well,” stated Michelle. “We were friends, and I always thought you were extremely talented, and they need you out here in the streets helping the kids, we don’t need you back in jail, so stay on your sh–.”

The Barbz have already attacked Michelle online for the TMZ interview.

“The Nicki obsession has got to stop,” someone wrote on her Instagram page.

“You act like that record was about to do something for your non-existent career,” wrote another person. “Stop using Nicki and Meek for clout.”

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.
