In follow-up tweets, Minaj indirectly accused people of being paid “big money” to continuously try to sabotage her tour.
“They’re being paid big money to try to sabotage my tour b/c soooooo many ppl are mad that it’s this successful & they can’t eat off me. They got caught stealing money from my travel/jets. Got fired. Got mad. Etc,” she wrote in one tweet.
Additionally, Minaj explained that she previously fired members of her team for pocketing money from her.
They try to make me book another jet every time. All b/c I fired mngmnt who I found out for years were adding on 30-50K on my jet & pocketing it. I fired a tour mngr recently who was doing the same thing & mad he got the boot. Their goal is to make me late, & to pocket 40K
