Nicki Minaj Scuffles With Maid

Update-‘Super Bass’ rapper Nicki Minaj is starting a trend for herself. Every few months an incident surfaces that seems contrary to the rappers persona. Earlier this year Nicki and her hype man Safaree were involved in an incident involving a suitcase, a hit on the lip and police. This time the hype man and the police are back, this time add in a maid. I know, sounds slightly bizarre.

On Thursday afternoon the Los Angeles Police was called to Nicki’s apartment. Reportedly Nicki Minaj fired one of her maids last week from her apartment for taking a photo of her from the trash bin and requesting Nicki’s autograph on said picture.

The maid allegedly returned to the apartment on Thursday but refused to exit when Nicki asked her to leave.

According to TMZ, the maid shouted at Nicki, “I will not be treated like an animal”! That’s when Nicki and her boyfriend Safaree lost it and yelled back ” I’ll show you how to treat someone like an animal…get the f**k out of my house!” Safaree then began pushing the woman with his body (really?)

The maid’s boss called the cops to file a battery complaint but the maid changed her mind from making a citizen’s arrest when police arrived.

The crazy part of this mess is that Nicki Minaj may have attacked the wrong maid!! Several witnesses told TMZ that the maid Nicki fired last week wasn’t the same maid that came on Thursday. *Don’t judge me for laughing!!*

Seriously, Nicki Minaj might want to look about getting a hype man that starts his shift at the venue…

Still independent.

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.
