While on air at Power 105.1, Charlamagne publically criticized Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda”, claiming it to be a corny song. Once Nicki found out, she immediately unfollowed Charlamagne on Twitter, making it clear that his criticism affected her.
“Me and Nicki Minaj, I got love mad love for Nicki Minaj even though she ain’t fucking with me right now, she unfollowed me on Twitter. She’s made calls to people in radio, people that I work for, and said she’s never coming on the Breakfast Club again,” Charlamagne says.
“I know she got upset when I said I thought ‘Anaconda’ was corny,” Charlamagne added. “But my exact synopsis on ‘Anaconda’ when it first came out was, ‘I’m not really feeling this record. It’s not for me. It’s for girls, it’s for kids, it’s for people who like to shake their ass.’ I said when the video comes out, I will probably appreciate this song more. But I said, ‘This song is going to work, I just think its corny.’ That’s what I said…”
