Labrinth (@Labrinthda1st) Displeased With Being Beaten By Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ)
From Entertainment Wise:
Labrinth has admitted he was disappointed after being beaten to the top of the charts by the one and only Nicki Minaj, not solely because he feels that he should’ve been at the top of the charts, but also because he ‘didn’t really like her album’.
The Londoner released his debut album Electronic Earth back in April but has only just opened up about his disappointment, saying that although Nicki is a ‘mega artist’, he just ‘didn’t respect the album’.
“I was disappointed, really,” he told the PA. “I lost to Nicki Minaj, which wasn’t so bad, she’s a mega artist, but I didn’t like her album. If I’d respected the album that beat me, then I would’ve been happier.”
