DJ Envy addressed allegations from Nicki Minaj claiming he blackballed her over a dispute involving DJ Self.
The conflict began years ago when DJ Self expressed a preference for Cardi B’s record over Nicki’s, an opinion that reportedly angered Nicki. Envy explained that Nicki threatened to send associates to confront DJ Self physically, which he couldn’t tolerate. He clarified that this was not an outright blackball but a personal stance on protecting fellow DJs. Envy emphasized his longstanding support for DJs, sharing stories of fundraising efforts and mentorship, highlighting the challenges DJs face financially and professionally. Despite past tensions, Envy confirmed that he eventually resumed playing Nicki’s music and wished her the best moving forward.
