Nicki Minaj<\/a> is no stranger to music industry beef,<\/a> but her comments on it don’t just relate to her own circle, or to hip-hop as a whole. She stays up to date with other genres and artist drama, such as some recently escalated tension between Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain.<\/p>\n

For those unaware, the two singers are at odds based on some dismissed comparisons from fans and critics, social media shade, and most recently, a new song snippet from Lana in which she sings, “Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post” and references their Waffle House back-and-forth. But the Trinidadian femcee’s words didn’t speak on the rift itself, but rather simply offered praise for Del Rey’s songwriting and artistic approach<\/p>\n

“Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post…” Nicki Minaj sang passionately in a social media clip caught by Pop Crave<\/a> on Twitter. “Like, Lana is able to \u2013 Lana can say anything and it sounds so dope. I’ve wanted to say ‘Ethel Cain…’ \u2013 I don’t know the other words, something about ‘my Instagram post’ \u2013 I’ve been wanting to say that since the moment I heard it. Like, it’s something that I don’t know what they put in that song. But this is a very interesting thing that we should explore today, Barbz.”<\/p>\n

Nicki Minaj & Lana Del Rey<\/p>\n

For those unaware, Nicki Minaj and Lana Del Rey’s relationship<\/a> used to be under a bit more scrutiny. Del Rey called out Nicki and many other Black artists for being celebrated for their sexually expressive content while she received a lot of backlash. Now, though, it seems like there’s a two-way street of respect, although Lana seemingly hasn’t responded to this praise at press time.<\/p>\n

Also, Minaj had more to say on Twitter directly. “how can a melody & instruments & background vocals & the mixing be so good that I\u2019m walking around all day talking about a person named Ethel who I do not know hating an instagram post I never even posted? HELP MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I\u2019m sure Ethel is a nice person,” she expressed.<\/p>\n
