Nicki Minaj sounded off on a variety of topics during her recent appearance on New York radio station Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club" (fun fact: she likes her turkey bacon crispy), though she saved no small amount of vitriol for three of the nation's biggest music retailers, whom she said are seriously hamstringing sales of her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded — The Re-Up ... by not stocking the album their stores.

"It's hard to get the album because the stores basically said that the last few re-releases they had put out did not do well and they don't want to take the chance," Minaj said. "So, Target and Walmart [are] not selling the album. Target is actually my biggest retailer ... they've sold the most Nicki Minaj albums ever, so thank you, Target. But I wish you could've sold this one."

Minaj added that Best Buy only ordered "limited" quantities of Re-Up (a reissue of her Roman Reloaded album that comes packaged with an additional eight-song EP and a DVD) because they "want[ed] to play it safe," and added that the big three retailers have "kind of set [her] up to fail."

a store is a business. they're tryna make money. if an album isn't selling what makes her think they're gonna want to stock up on it? like target is obligated to sell everything she releases, lol. ? is desperate trying to put the blame on everyone.

    wal mart target and best buy wouldn't be carrying her re releases. wal mart and target are the #1,2 retailers in the U.S , so if the don't carry a cd it will not sell well period. people need to get over album sales a albums flops based on the amount of units shipped compared to sold. her release didn't even ship 100k

    they did stock it since many re release have under sold so they didnt want to giver her a chance , selling out 605 of your initial shipment in the music biz is far from a flop

    I feel she ? up is when she was getting stupid with people who are in another league.she dont have the money most of the folks she were beefing with has.Mariah Carey got power in the music industry.calling the race card on that steve tyler will only make things worse for her.She shouldve stayed in her lane and continue making pop and rap hits.she started to get the BIG HEAD and said im voting for romney etc..so much BS she was doing that was uncalled for

    she's miffed because everyone is realizing she sucks. haha.

    She also told hot 97 to stop playing her because they said that she wasn't doing very well, so I guess she wants to bury her career herself.
