I Will Dump Instagram If Likes Are Hidden – Nicki Minaj

Posted by: Folamidavid in Celebrity News Nov 14, 2019

Popular rapper, Nicki Minaj has said she would boycott Instagram if the social media platform begins to hide their “Like” counter.

In a recent interview, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri had this to say about the move, “The idea is to try to ‘depressurize’ Instagram, make it less of a competition and give people more space to focus on connecting with people that they love, things that inspire them.”

Nicki reacted, “I’m not posting on IG after this week cuz they removing the likes. Hmmmm what should I get into now? Think of all the time I’ll have with my new life.”

“They took away your engagements in the first place by disrupting the algorithm. Then they boost it to show you how much better this new iPhone is.”

“I mean how much better this new IG feature is… Lemme guess, u don’t believe your iPhone messes up when the new iPhone comes out…”

Do you think it is a good move by Instagram?
