Nicki Minaj calls Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and Billie Eilish her "fave girls" on Stationhead.

Although Nicki Minaj has been somewhat inactive on her social media channels, the rapper has been interacting with fans on the streaming platform, Stationhead. Last weekend, Minaj shared a list of her "fave girls of all time" via a playlist curated on Stationhead.

While sharing the playlist, Minaj wrote,

"Some of my fave girls of all time."

She then went on to play songs from, Rihanna, Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, and Taylor Swift. The list included songs like Anti-Hero, Ocean Eyes, Kiss it Better, Taste, and Intro.

After fans shared Minaj's playlist on social media, netizens took to comment on Buzzinga Pop's X post, noting that Minaj's genre differs from those of her "fave girls"

Nonetheless, some social media users called Minaj "desperate" alleging that the rapper is trying too hard to catch the attention of successful A-listers in the music industry.

"These paid post campaigns re soo obvious💀💀 desperate old b!tch" - a user mentioned
"She’s always talking about her being a victim of biases that black women face. But couldn’t name a single black woman as one of her faves? Interesting" - another user questioned
"Are these just the first songs of the respective albums that she randomly opened" - another user wondered
"Notice how it’s only the ones who are thriving, she wants the hits" - a user noted

"We have been talking for a long time" - says Nicki Minaj about Taylor Swift

Nicki Minaj's curated list of her "fave girls of all time" on Stationhead, comes after Nicki and Taylor's famous Twitter feud in 2015. In 2015, after MTV's VMA nominations went viral on the internet, Minaj took to X, questioning the nominations.

Minaj was particularly unhappy with her popular song Anaconda, not getting recognized while Taylor Swift's Bad Blood bagged several nominations at the same time. In her tweet, Minaj said,

When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination"

She then continued and said,

"If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."

Her comment, which fans believed allegedly hinted at Taylor's Bad Blood, featured her model, actor, and singer friends. Swift responded to the tweet by saying,

"I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot."

However, the two soon squashed down the feud, with Minaj mentioning that Taylor apologized to her via X, saying,

"We have been talking for a long time. After we agreed, we laughed on the phone."

Nicki Minaj also went on to call Taylor, "super, super sweet" and hinted that the two might collaborate in the future.
