Ironic Much? Lil Wayne On Summer Jam Nicki Minaj Diss: ‘A Woman Should Be Respected at All Times’

Oh, Wezzy F. Please Say the Baby Carter, you have stuck your foot all the way back to your esophagus with this one. A few weeks after the Summer Jam fiasco involving Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg and Nicki Minaj, which resulted in YMCMB CEO Lil Wayne pulling the “Starships” rapper/singer out of the show, he’s speaking on why he made the highly controversial executive decision.

In an interview with MTV News he stated in what appears to be a sober manner:

“First of all, I approached the situation like this: that’s a female. First and foremost Nicki Minaj is a female. I don’t know what anyone else believes but I believe females deserve the ultimate respect at all times. No matter what, when, where or how. So, as soon as she called me and said that she felt disrespected, I just declined everything. I pulled her from the show because first of all no person that works with me will be disrespected in my presence as long as I’m on this planet. And like I said, she’s a female first and foremost so I expected the red carpet…in her manner the pink carpet to be laid out. It’s just an executive move. No bad feelings, no hard feelings, like I said in my opinion she said she was disrespected [and] that’s a woman. I feel like a woman should be respected at all times. Therefore I believe that I made the right decision.”

FYI, there’s video proof that those words did actually come out of his mouth too.

I respect his thinking but I’d like him to apply that logic just a tad bit broader, like to his own music the next time he gets an itch to talk about what b**** or h*e is slobbing, screwing, or bouncing on something. I also still don’t think Rosenberg’s comment had anything to do with Nicki Minaj being a woman. He could be the type of guy to only take shots at a girl because he’s scared of a male MC but I think he pretty much said what everybody was thinking, nobody wanted to hear that “wack a** Starships track.”

    Agreed! This didn’t have anything to do with her being a female, she was the only one there with a wack song like Starships! Also, how’s Wayne gonna say women should be respected at all times….YOU don’t even respect women! But in there defense, how do you invite someone to perform at your show and then diss them right before they hit the stage…who does that?

    as ironic as it is to say it, i kinda agree with wayne. there is a respectful way of saying you dislike someone’s music compared to just being flat out ugly. i really did not like starships but personally i feel nicki is making music that she likes and that doesn’t make her a sellout it just means she’s making the music she wants to make and if we don’t like it, oh well. still doesn’t give anyone a reason to disrespect her after asking her to appear for a concert and calling her out because you personally don’t like the direction she taking her career. . .

      I see what you’re saying but he made this into a “respect females” things. Yes, it was wrong to embarrass her in front of a crowd when she’s performing for his station, that was disrespectful. That disrespect, however, has nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman (not merely a FEMALE but I digress) and the statement isn’t worse because she’s a woman. It would have been equally disrespectful if he’s done the same thing to a man.

      I think everyone is more focused on how incredibly hypocritical Wayne has shown himself to be. He repeatedly said women (excuse me FEMALES) should be respected at all times in every way….when he does otherwise most of the time.

      • Ms_Sunshine9898

        Yeah I know. That was point in me saying the “the irony of things”. That one statement in my original comment pretty much summed up everything you just said. . .

    I can’t fault him for defending his piece but being that he is well overdrawn in his bank of credibility in the public eye, he needs to take several seats and organize his contradictory statements while he’s at it….

  • HunyBun

    Really? Lil Wayne have you listened to your OWN songs? You let the world know only like “Red” and “yellow” b****es, even though your daughter is neither red nor yellow(also, calling a person red or yellow is disrespectful in and of itself, but I digress)…What message are you sending to women,and young girls? Do you feel as though they should think for themselves and not take into consideration that the rap song you sing, calling women h**s and b****es, does not refer to them specifically? but just to the b****es and h**s you deal with? Well if that’s the case, then why does Nicki Manaj feel sooo disrespected that this man doesn’t like her wack song? Shouldn’t she believe in herself and songs enough not to worry about what other people say about her as a woman??HMMM ok, yet you thought she was disrespected soo much because a Man said her song was wack? What about the way you disrespect women by rapping to the WORLD about f***ing all of them? Please take a seat and think before you speak(people in glass houses) IJS

    Oh yeah, as long as it’s Nicki, big booty groupies and his 15 baby mamas, they should be respected, but if it’s dark skinned black women and other women he doesn’t know, we’re b*tches and h*es to him.

  • bluekissess

    He will only defend women he knows. He can careless about the rest of us so therefore he’s going to call the rest of us Bs.

    I’m really tired of this foolishness amongst black people. The same stories of who’s disrespecting who.

    Why does these clowns keep talking about her womanhood? I didn’t know Nickis name was starships?

  • TRUTH IS

    Nicki: What he meant to say was white women deserve respect, not the dark ones…FOH!!

  • msnaima1985

    1. Having an opinion that a song is whack is not disrespectful.
    2. “I wish I could f*%ck every girl in the world” #enuffsaid

        Maybe your trying to get someone to read your blog but your comment makes no sense. so in that case I’ve pulled a couple of chairs up for you to have many seats.

        • Mrsadkiah

          LMFAO! Say that again!

  • sammi_lu

    So he’s looking at the diss as being disrespectful..much like a table full of men and a woman joins the table, out of respect and good manners all the men should stand until she is seated. Also as far as his comment, to some it may seem ironic but me growing up around nothing but males, when b***** or h** comes out of a man’s mouth doesn’t mean they have zero respect for women. I know it doesn’t apply to me, his daughter, his mother whom he constantly gushes about in his raps.

  • Merriegirl

    I don’t find Lil Wayne’s comment strange at all. He is no different from a non-famous man who disrespects women. Men protect what belongs to them and only them. This can be seen through fathers who who want the best for their little girls and cut off all other male attention they get, while they sleep with as many women as they want or disrespect their child’s mother.

    Also what the author and many other people commenting on this story fail to realize is that their is a difference between attacking her because she is a woman and not respecting her presence as he should do with her or any other female he comes across. With the logic of “He was just saying what everyone else was thinking.” Then he also should be able to say sexually offensive things to women he interacts with in public, why not all the other men around are thinking it too.
