Nicki Minaj fans are furious with Cardi B when she was belittled on a Netflix documentary about female rapper…

Nicki Minaj‘s fans sounded off on social media Tuesday in response to the omission of the artist from a trailer for the upcoming Netflix documentary Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop.

The doc, released under Netflix’s Strong Black Lead banner, ‘recontextualizes the role the irrepressible women of hip hop played throughout the revolutionary genre’s 50 years by reinserting them into the canon where they belong: at the center, from day one to present day,’ the streamer said Tuesday.

The preview features a montage of high-profile artists, including Cardi B – who has a well-documented rivalry with Minaj – as well as Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Roxanne Shanté, Ice Spice, Saweetie and Latto, but there was no sign of the Super Freaky Girl artist.

Fans of the 40-year-old singer questioned why she was nowhere to be seen in the official trailer for the documentary.

‘We really got to sit down and talk, why do they keep excluding Nicki Minaj from these topics like she isn’t the most successful female rapper of all time,’ one user said.

The user continued, ‘They’re literally tryna wipe her from the history books due to personal vendettas … y’all can’t wipe her from history when her impact is so humongous.’

Another user asked, ‘…how is THE Nicki Minaj nowhere to be seen in this…like…?????’

One user questioned: ‘A documentary about female rap, and Netflix wouldn’t have thought to put the most influential, awarded and credited female rapper Nicki Minaj in the documentary? Hmm.’

One user pointed to Minaj’s longevity in the genre in questioning why she wasn’t included in the preview.

‘Ladies of Hip Hop?!?’ the user wrote. ‘No mention of the Queen who kept the scene alive for 10 straight years, when mainstream wasnt checking for women rappers?!?!

‘Yes there were female rappers out but the only girls at the time were Nicki and Iggy who was CHARTING!’

A tweet from the outlet Pop Crave indicated that podcaster Shawn Allen, who is involved with the project, said that Minaj and rap icon Missy Elliott ‘didn’t allow their music and videos to be licensed for use in’ the documentary, spurring speculation that could be an explanation for who was featured.

He said earlier, ‘Missy and Nicki didn’t let us license their music.’

Allen explained on his Twitter that Elliott and Minaj did not allow licensing of their material for the doc, spurring speculation that could be an explanation for who was featured

Elliott was pictured onstage in Las Vegas during a music festival this past May

In response to the Pop Crave tweet, Allen said, ‘I think bc Nicki is working on her own doc… I don’t understand why Missy didn’t agree.’

It was not immediately clear if Minaj, one of the top-selling female artists of all-time in the genre, was completely omitted from the four-part showcase.

Ladies First: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop begins streaming August 9 on Netflix.
