Nicki Minaj has threatened to stop using Instagram if bosses start hiding how many users have ‘liked’ her photos.
Earlier this week, Instagram’s CEO announced the company would begin testing a new feature that stops likes from showing up on certain accounts.
Users will reportedly no longer be able to see how many users have liked a photo, unless they are the ones posting it themselves.
Global rapping sensation Nicki, 36, who currently has 107 million followers on Instagram , took to Twitter to voice her frustration on the news.
She told her 20.6 million followers that she would boycott the app following the new trial, writing: “I’m not posting on IG after this week cuz they removing the likes.
Nicki went on to blast the social media service’s decision online.
She shared:
The Superbass hitmaker slammed the company’s intentions and insisted situations like this are why “musicians make no money”.
She also hinted at a conspiracy as she believed the “labels and streaming services knew what to say to pacify us.”
