Everything was fine \u2014 until the brand began collaborating with artists like Jennifer L\u00f3pez and Zayn on capsules, but reportedly refused to grant Minaj&#8217;s wish to create her own range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; color: #26282a; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\" data-type=\"text\"><div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is wonderful. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GiuseppeZanotti?src=hash\">#GiuseppeZanotti<\/a> seems to think it&#8217;s ok to name his sneakers after me but his PR says they won&#8217;t take our call.

Minaj recalled that when they met years prior, Zanotti told her that she had &#8220;inspired him to design a sneaker&#8221; in her honor. &#8220;Recently when he gave other artists capsule collections, my agency reached out and was told they&#8217;re not taking our call,&#8221; she tweeted. But the brand continued selling its Nicki sneakers \u2014 which Minaj viewed as yet another example of designers feeling &#8220;inspired&#8221; by Black women but not giving them a platform. Plus, she was surprised by the treatment, especially since it pertained to a designer she worked with frequently. So, she queried: #GiuseppeWhatsGood.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box shadow  \"><div class=\"box-inner-block\"><i class=\"fa tie-shortcode-boxicon\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\"><p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RunMeMyCHECK?src=hash\">#RunMeMyCHECK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GiuseppeWhatsGood?src=hash\">#GiuseppeWhatsGood<\/a> I got time today. \ud83d\ude0a barbz trend this cuz he gon learn today.
