It seems that Nicki’s recent Diesel scandal has not affected the “Barbie Dreams” rapper. Taking to Twitter, Nicki’s collaboration with 6six9nine on the track “Fefe” just earned major success.

As part of the recently announced faces of Diesel’s new campaign, Nicki faced lots of backlash over the past few days. The 35-year-old rapper has appeared in the Italian brand’s new autumn/winter 2018 ‘Haute Couture’ campaign – alongside Gucci Mane and Bella Thorne, Yoo Ah-In, Miles Heizer and Tommy Dorfman.
The campaign aims to combat cyberbullying by branding polarising messages – which have been received by the ambassadors in real life- onto their clothing. Unfortunately for Diesel, the move to add Minaj as part of the campaign has only served to taint the campaign; with many pointing out that Nicki is known to bully others online.
Great way to stop cyber bullying by having the face of cyber bullying be part of the campaign. lol in time they will see how this hurts there brand. Good doesn't like ugly.

Nonetheless, it seems that Diesel is sticking with their decision; aligning themselves with the “Ganja Burn” rap star.
You swear. Nicki don’t care. Nicki just wear. @NICKIMINAJ #DieselHateCouture
