The artist made the claims via her X account. All of this in a series of posts where she also questioned the financial treatment she received after the sale of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tidal was launched in 2015 with an initial investment that included fifteen artists. They included <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/highxtar.com\/en\/nicki-minaj-confesses-that-she-regrets-her-cosmetic-surgeries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Minaj<\/a>, Beyonc\u00e9, Rihanna, J. Cole and Ye<\/strong>. Each received 3% equity when the company was valued at $56 million. In 2021, Jack Dorsey&#8217;s platform was sold to Square for $302 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Minaj, she and the other artists retained their stake, but the figure she was offered for her share was $1 million. This would be a far cry from the <strong>approximately nine million<\/strong> that would correspond to 3% of the sale. Taking into account the company valued at the price of Square&#8217;s sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We\u2019ve calculated about 100-200MM so far.  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JayZ?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JayZ<\/a> call me to settle this karmic debt.

Minaj also addressed the \u2018Hov\u2019 nickname fans use to call the rapper.
