Not unlike that President, Minaj?s preoccupation with numbers also reflects an element of wishful thinking. The commercial accomplishments that she is so obsessed with celebrating are not as staggering as she makes them out to be. ?No Frauds,? even with features from Drake and Lil Wayne, peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. ?Run Up,? a juiced-up Caribbean romp with Major Lazer that was primed for summer dominance, spent a single week on the Hot 100, at No. 66. After eight weeks, ?Swalla? hasn?t cracked the Top Forty. Minaj was nominated for a single Billboard award this year, and one of the biggest?the Billboard Chart Achievement Award. She lost to the Chainsmokers. Numbers don?t lie, until you need them to.
I'm YELLING
