Nicki Minaj has become a barb herself and continues to dig her own grave, all because of the people she chooses to associate with.
In case you missed it, the âStarshipsâ hitmaker was fighting for her life in TikTok comments after her Instagram Live with former Little Mix member and Boyz collaborator Jesy Nelson was dragged all across BeyoncĂŠâs internet.
When the music video for Jesyâs debut solo single âBoyzâ dropped, the conversation quickly shifted from the British singerâs first track since leaving Little Mix to her being accused of blackfishing â when white women adopt Black features through surgery, excessive tanning and hairstyles to appear to be Black or have some Black ancestry.
The dragging of Jesy had the internet coming together like the avengers.
TikTokers, tweeps and people on IG stayed on Jesyâs neck, leading her to cancel two scheduled interviews.
Earlier this week, following the backlash, Nicki went on IG Live to promote the single and address the blackfishing accusations.
Things took a sharp left when the âTruffle Butterâ rapper equated blackfishing to Black women wearing blonde wigs and took aim at Little Mix, specifically Leigh-Anne Pinnock, for allegedly being jealous of Jesy.
Nicki Minaj addresses Little Mixâs Leigh-Anne after leaked screenshots allegedly show her criticizing Jesy Nelson for âBlackfishingâ:
âIf you want a solo career baby just say that⌠If thatâs how you felt, why were you kikiâing with her & being in videos with her for 10 yearsâŚâ pic.twitter.com/uyyLezu0SJ
She said they never spoke to Jesy about her tanning and overall appearance coming across as blackfishing.
Furthermore, talking about text messages, which have been refuted as fake, to support her claims of this jealousy.
Since then, the internet blew up on Twitter and TikTok as users on both platforms called her out for statements made in the IG Live.
Instead of releasing a statement or remaining, she acted in the same way her stans do and was fighting left, right and centre with anyone one who dared say anything against her statements.
The TikTokers have not slowed down, with many creators echoing the overall sentiment that Nicki was on the wrong side of this argument.
Nicki, clearly pressed by that, jumped into various TikTok creatorâs comments sections, spewing high school level insults as a means to defend Jesy even though she didnât ask for it.
And if thereâs one thing about the TikTok community, it's that they will protect their own, especially when the person on the attacking end is in the wrong.

A whole Queen of Rap is being ratioâd on the Gen Z app by teenagers because of something that she, as a Black woman, should have known better.
As all that was going on, reports surfaced that on the same day as the Live with new development regarding the case with her husband Kenneth Pettyâs victim Jennifer Hough.
Yet, again this out of pocket behaviour seems to be part of a plan to distract everyone with everything going on because of her husband.
Even some to the Barbz have come forward saying that what Nicki is doing is inexcusable and harmful.
Only time will tell if her current erratic behaviour will have a lasting impact on her career because it's not looking good.
