Don't diss Nicki Minaj.
That's the lesson radio station Hot 97 learned Sunday night.
The Jamaica, Queens, rap superstar was supposed to headline Hot 97's Summer Jam concert at MetLife Stadium.
But the rapper was pulled from hip-hop's biggest concert just hours
before she was slated to perform because a Hot 97 on-air personality
dissed her — angering the head of her record label, Lil’ Wayne.
Peter Rosenberg, a morning show host, spoke disparagingly about Minaj's song "Starships."
Lil' Wayne, president of Cash Money Records, then axed her performance.
"Young Money ain't doing summer jam," he tweeted, referring to his rap crew, which includes Minaj.
And Minaj followed orders.
"I go above and beyond for my fans. But won't ever go against wayne's word. What he says, goes," she tweeted.
She also thanked other cities for hosting her.
"I'd like to thank the staff @ philly & boston summer jams for treating their guests w/respect! Had a blast," she tweeted.
Rosenberg, the self-described "Jewish Johnny Carson," tweeted: "Tonight just got interesting."
Hot 97 DJ Funkmaster Flex backed Rosenberg during the concert, taunting Minaj for recent weaker sales.
"You don't go gold. It's all your fault," he said. "I'm dedicated to tearing you down."
