Nicki Minaj just tweeted her worldwide sales figures of her triple platinum selling album, The Pinkprint. Shutting down any false reports of figures, the 'Anaconda' rapper quickly went onto social media and posted both the official figures and thanks to her fans.

On Twitter, Chart News posted on 11 December unofficial figures for The Pinkprint's sales, indicating only 946,000 worldwide sales, and Minaj countered five days later.

Chart News has since responded to Minaj's information with "Great info. Thanks!"

Since publishing her official figures, Minaj went on to give appreciation to the fans responsible for making her album one of the best selling rap records of 2014 and 2015.

 

#1YearOfThePinkprint this album is now TRIPLE platinum worldwide (3.3 Million), even though we have to wait for a March court date to be credited for tracks & streams. Some artists removed their work off Spotify and other services of that nature, but for the ones who did not, we have to be patient for justice in our industry & it finally looks like it's coming. This judgement, when passed, will work retroactively so that we can receive our plaques, etc for all of the free music given away on these services. On Spotify alone, the sales of this album is 1.4 Million worldwide. The music business doesn't really seem designed to reward our culture with the sales & accolades we deserve, as we don't normally cater to middle America, but I'm so happy that some amazing ppl have been fighting for us. To my fans, thank you for your support. Nothing made me happier than seeing your faces this year on #ThePinkprintTOUR ~ Thank you for this Grammy nominated album. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 To all the artists out there working hard on your music and feeling discouraged, I feel your pain & completely understand your frustration. Don't let anything stop the love you have for your passion. 💕💕💕💕💕 #ThePinkprint
