The Dallas Observer has released the incident reports surrounding an altercation between Nicki Minaj and a male at the Palomar hotel in Dallas, Texas Monday night. Nicki Minaj and her best friend and or lover Safaree both took to twitter to blast the reports. Safaree stated he would never hit a woman while Nicki slammed the media and the public for too easily believing everything they read. The tweets vaguely implied that the incident did not take place, perhaps prompting the Observer to release the reports.

In the TMZ report, Nicki allegedly stated the male punched her causing her bottom lip to bleed. However the incident reports confirms another story: Nicki Minaj did indeed call the police, there was an altercation but Nicki was hit in the mouth by a suitcase while attempting to keep the male from leaving with her suitcase. Nicki refused to press charges stating she only wanted her suitcase back. Safaree was listed in the incident report along with another male so it’s not clear which one was pulling the suitcase.

Check out the incident report below. Should Nicki Minaj provide more clarity not just for the public but her “barbz”?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
