Nicki Minaj seems to be relishing the recent upheaval in the music industry, particularly at her rival Cardi B’s record label. Amid a significant restructuring at Warner Music Group, several high-profile executives, including Atlantic Records head Julie Greenwald and 300 Entertainment CEO Kevin Liles, are departing as Elliott Grainge steps in as CEO.
On September 19, Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock the mass layoffs, writing, “Dear fired executives & A&R’s: Don’t be mad, UPS is hiring. Also, feel free to submit your resumes for a job @ #HeavyOnIt,” referencing her own label launched last year. She further added, “They’ve been wanting empty arenas so bad [laughing emoji]. Obsessed with me while all your friends are getting fired is nasty work.”
Minaj capped off her remarks with a gif that read “loser,” highlighting her apparent enjoyment of the situation. This playful taunting underscores the competitive tensions in the industry and reflects her confidence amid the changes affecting her rivals.
