Trina took to Instagram to address that drama that has been brewing after the head A&R of her Rockstarr Music Group label called Nicki Minaj a "deceiver" and "manipulator."

Earlier this week, Reginald Saunders took to social media to claim that it wasn't the first time Nicki "has pulled this stunt." He went on to say he "can’t get over how fake people can be for a Lil fame, likes and followers." Saunders' beef with the Queen rapper is over what he says was a lack of support for Trina's "BAPS" track, a collaborative song that featured Nicki. "When everyone tried to warn me I still gave her the benefit of the doubt," he wrote. "I can’t wait to see how all of this is about to play out because you can’t stop karmas reign, shame on you .. I mostly feel sorry for the #barbs because they have no clue of the deceiver and manipulator their leader is."

"Right now Trina's camp is accusing me of not doing enough to push her song 'Baps,'" Nicki said, in response to Saunders' comment. "I have my own schedule... it's not fair that people don't understand that. I would never have someone from my team disrespect somebody that has been nothing but real to me."

Trina, during an IG Live session, talked about the whole situation and made it clear that she had no ill feelings towards Nicki. "There is no beef between me and Nicki Minaj," she said. "There will be no disrespect for Nicki Minaj or nobody else that's on my album." Trina also said that Nicki "did her part" and that "it's up to me and my team to do our part."

She continued: "I appreciate each and every artist that took the initiative to be a part of this The One album. Rico Love gave his all for me. Every artist that came out to do this album for me, they didn't charge me. I appreciate that. Anything else that's going on within that and around that, let me deal with that. Everybody else that's outside of that, keep your fucking mouth shut... all of y'all that are dragging my name thru the mud, dirtying my name, my face, without me saying a word, you can suck my ass through a straw. And I mean that. I'm a real bitch and I don't play those games. I don't play those games at all. Period. Everybody knows that. Keep my name out your mouth and have a good fucking night. The One is out now."

Trina's The One album dropped back in June and boasted features from Lil Wayne, Plies, K. Michelle, DJ Khaled, 2 Chainz, and others.
