AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj slammed shoe designer Giuseppe Zanotti on Twitter. According to her, the famed designer wouldn't take her calls despite naming his sneakers after her. "This is wonderful. #GiuseppeZanotti seems to think it's ok to name his sneakers after me but his PR says they won't take our call. Lol," she tweeted.
The female rapper elaborated, "I met #GiuseppeZanotti years ago. At which time, he told me I inspired him to design a sneaker in my honor. Wore them on the cover of Cosmo." She, however, added, "Recently when he gave other artists capsule collections, my agency reached out and was told they're not taking our call."
"Just go on google, you'll see all the different pairs he's named after me. Lil black girl can inspire u but ain't worth a collection my nig? #RunMeMyCHECK #GiuseppeWhatsGood I got time today. [smiling emoji] barbz trend this cuz he gon learn today. The racism & disrespect won't b tolerated," Minaj went on. "#GiuseppeWhatsGood."
"Don't care about the money. It's just the disrespect. You're not taking MY call? Lol. Give some money to charity in my name or smthn," she continued. "I'd like them to donate to St. Jude's Children's hospital on my behalf. #GiuseppeWhatsGood Giorgina, I don't wanna post your email."
"This isn't a sneaker. Zanotti spoke to me on the first sneaker. But 23 pairs of sneakers later & u still don't wanna break bread?!?!" the femcee reasoned. She also quipped, "U know what I gotta go. My phone ringing. Tell Floyd, Fif & Mike Tyson to book me for the next fight. Me and Giuseppe. after cb & Draco."
She then addressed gender pay gap, "Women are always shamed by other when speaking up in the work place. That's why women cont. to earn less. Jada spoke up & Oscars madeAchange. Scarlett spoke on her pay vs. her male co-stars & was shamed by other women as well. WakeUp! This is our work place! Just like u have yours!"
