It’s rumored that there was some issues on the set of Sean Kingston’s Letting Go video shoot. Apparently Nicki Minaj didn’t want to share the spotlight with reggae artist Barbee who was announced throughout Jamaica to be appearing in the video, but as you can see she’s no where to be found in the final video. Not sure if Nicki Minaj was the reason for her being removed but clearly something happened, and how can Nicki Minaj have someone removed from a Sean Kingston video? Below is the message I received with the original video that explains things more.
So Nicki Minaj “Barbie” has been so set on her image and recently she had what seems like a jealous streak.
She just did a song with Sean Kingson called “Letting Go”. The leading lady in the video is Reggae Princess Barbee who I love!! And she was advertised all over Jamaica about her debut in this video. But now Nicki Minaj with her fake ass (literally) decided she didnt want another “Barbie” on her turf and had her cut out of the whole video. I have both videos for you to watch and if you look at the released video you can see how choppy it is from having to delete Barbee from all the scenes ( Barbee is dressed in the black sexy outfit). I feel like Nicki needs to be put on blast about what she did to poor Barbee – who by the way is an amazing artist she has a song out with Trina, she stared in a movie with The Game and is pretty predominate in Jamaica and Canada.
Please put her on blast ! As a huge fan of Barbee I am so upset with Nicki!!!!!!!!!

Come on now….it’s one thing to like “Barbee”, and another to BEG somebody to put someone else “on blast”….lol I never heard of Barbee til now, but I checked her pages and she’s hot and has a nice voice. I think Nicki should have embraced her, but who knows what’s truth when it comes to crazy fans like this one who may be blinded by bias.
8-6-2010
I cant believe she did that…. Bar-bee been bar-bee way before Nicki. It’s not even that serious everyone should have a chance to shine

I agree with Nicki, this video is going to be more exposed in the USA and face it, most people here don’t know who Barbee is. Nicki, however, is quickly becoming a household name and is already a well-known face in hip-hop. You have to think about downloads and records sales in the US. Nicki sells records here, Barbee doesn’t. And let’s be mature here, I’m sure we all have much better things to do than bash Nicki Minaj. If you don’t like her style or the way she rolls, don’t listen to her music. It’s just a matter of changing a radio station or skipping to another song. Clicking on the links to her videos isn’t necessary if she “makes you want to throw up just by looking at her”. Grow up because she’s making money while you guys are sitting at a computer trashing her. Embrace her, you should be glad a FEMALE rapper is getting shine, no matter WHO she is. And if you can’t do that, bite your tongue and keep your comments to yourself. Hate only hurts the person who’s hating. Nicki, keep doing your thing. Much love ?

Well you sound like her best friend… the issue is not about her sales, radio plays, or her making money. It’s about her stepping on toes. I’m personally a fan of bar-bee and if you don’t know about her Google her I l.o.v.e. her music and her style. I l.o.v.e what she does for the West Indian community. Nicki she’s alright, but she’s not real… lol literally. When she first came out I wanted to shoot myself listening to her music. Now that you hear it sooooo much on the radio it’s like we were forced to adapt to it. I think there needs to be a serious turn around in music all together!!! And Nicki should have never done that period

Damn Lyric what an incredibly lucid comment among all the hate madness. I couldn’t have said it better.
8-7-2010
yall really think nicki has any say in what the final video looks like yll are stupid the main artist rarely knows what the video is going to look like yet alone the a person who is just featured in the song sean probably just has two versio one that plays in jamaica with barbee and the real one its not like nicki has more time in the video when barbee is gone nicki still in the video the same amont of time in the barbee versior the real version i think this barbee fan is just mad cuz she wasnt in the official version of the video dont blame nicki blame the director i cant believe some ppl actually believe nicki a featured artist has a say in the outcome of the video ppl are really navie if you believe what this lady is sayin
8-7-2010
Jane I honestly hadn’t thought about all that. Great points.
8-7-2010
BAD BITCHES STAND OUT AND BARBEE TOOK OVER THATS WHY NIKKI WONTED HER OUT
8-7-2010
Great Points????? Really, I think not!!!! All artist especially vain ones like nicki who wants to see if their butt looks extra fake….sees the director’s cut b4 it’s released. Please that chick anit foolin nobody. She’s just mad b/c bar-bee looked waaaaaaaaaay better than her…. and nicki is supposed to be a “Barbie”. Also, I heard from one of the dancers in the video set, nicki was hating on the love bar-bee was getting from fans. I mean you all can believe what you want, but I came up w/ my conclusion. Nicki is (in the great words of my man biggie) a playa playa hater
