Nicki Minaj has had a go at a journalist who called her new album "pop".

Minaj was being interviewed by The Sun when the journalist - who hadn't listened to 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' - called the album "pop".

However, this seemingly provoked an embattled reaction from Minaj, who said that the album is a mixed bag of music, with the majority of it "hip-hop". She said:

"You know what it is, I get tired of people making statements that go to the world and they will read what you write and what you’re saying isn't true. The album is a versatile album with five dance tracks on it. The album has 19 songs and the majority of it is hip-hop. How can you give people a true account if you haven’t listened to it in its entirety?"

After attempts at reconciliation from the writer, Minaj continued: "No! I want you to realise how annoying it is when people come to me having not heard my album in its entirety because, if you had, then you wouldn't have said that. My new album has five dance tracks on it produced by RedOne, who I'm absolutely in love with. Prior to that, it has a very mix tape feel that people need to know about. With people like yourself printing things about the album, it's really, really misleading to the average person."

The interview however managed to get back on track, with the journalist left largely unscathed.
