Nicki Minaj Responds to Cancel Culture Threats By Revealing Reporters on Instagram As Alleged Bullies
“They’re forcing my family to hide out. This is what speaking up looks like. Millions of poor people are treated this way by the ppl you think are ‘the good guys.’ This is unconscionable,” Minaj wrote on Instagram Friday.
Rapper/singer Nicki Minaj has dominated U.S. and international headlines over the last week or so after she committed the unpardonable sin of tweeting about how she was going to do more research before making a decision on whether or not to get one of the Wuhan coronavirus vaccines.
She also got the attention of the Biden White House and health officials in Trinidad & Tobago after alleging that her “cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen,” a claim disputed not just by Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, but also Trinidad and Tobago’s Health Minister Dr. Terrence Deyalsingh.
As if having prominent government officials from two countries weigh in on the testicular status of Minaj’s cousin’s friend wasn’t wild enough, MSNBC’s resident conspiracy theorist Joy Reid also expressed her disappointment with Minaj. This led to a nasty war of words, with Reid falling back on her old ways later in the week in a homophobic segment suggesting that Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, who had defended Minaj and invited her cousin’s friend or that friend’s “former fiancée” onto his show, to visit and “talk with that gentleman and find out why it is that his, you know, future wife left him and just how large these melons were.”
“I think he should go and find out. It’s an investigative report that we need. Go and do it, Tucker, I know you wanna. You really, really wanna,” Reid went on, clearly amused as were the two guests she had on her program.
In any event, after outraging Twitter mobs, the spat with Reid, after even being invited by the White House to participate in a “phone call” about the vaccine, this story still isn’t over.
On her Instagram Friday, Minaj called out two reporters, one from The Guardian and the other from the UK’s Daily Mail, accusing them of “threatening” her family and “forcing” them to “hide out”:
“They’re forcing my family to hide out. This is what speaking up looks like. Millions of poor people are treated this way by the ppl you think are ‘the good guys.’ This is unconscionable.”
She posted screengrabs of what she said were WhatsApp private messages sent by Guardian reporter Sharlene Rampersad to Minaj’s cousin, wanting to speak with him and the friend who purportedly had become impotent from the vaccine and whose fiancée, according to Minaj, ditched him before their wedding over the matter.
Towards the end of the one-way conversation, Rampersad told Minaj’s cousin that “CNN is in the country looking for you” and that the network “won’t hesitate to reveal” personal information including the locations of Minaj’s cousin and “anything and anyone who is tied to you.”
Rampersad then told the cousin that “if you speak to me, we won’t reveal those details. So what do you say?”
Minaj proceeded to post the phone numbers for both Rampersad and Daily Mail mail senior reporter James Fielding, and also included a parting shot at Rampersad in particular.
“Sharlene Rampersad B*TCH YOUR DAYS ARE F*CKING NUMBERED YOU DIRTY HOE.”

The Guardian has already put out a statement denouncing Minaj. They did not deny her account of Rampersad’s blackmail tactics against her cousin, but did call it a “legitimate pursuit of a story”:

Just a wild guess here, but I suspect Minaj’s animus towards Rampersad is playing out as more personal because Rampersad is based in Trinidad and Tobago and likely knows more private information about Minaj’s family members than other reporters would.
Though Rampersad has not publicly commented on Minaj’s Instagram rant as of this writing (also, it appears Fielding does not have a Twitter account), she did retweet the Guardian’s statement. Prior to that, she portrayed herself as a reporter who was just trying to help her country fight the Wuhan virus, posting the below tweets and retweeting numerous stories about Minaj’s vaccine comments:
What @NICKIMINAJ either does not know or does not care about is Trinidad and Tobago is currently under a State of Emergency.
Many business sectors are closed and have been for months on end.
Vaccination is our way out.— Sharlene D Rampersad (@TriniReporter) September 16, 2021
If our vaccination rates increase in September, we can expect to see some sectors reopened (bars, cinemas etc)
If the numbers remain low, people remain out of jobs, out of an income…— Sharlene D Rampersad (@TriniReporter) September 16, 2021
When you use your international platform to spread lies, you hurt us. We aren’t some island fantasy you get to bring up if you’re bored.
1,391 people have died from COVID-19 here.
Leave us alone now.— Sharlene D Rampersad (@TriniReporter) September 16, 2021
Trinidad and Tobago's vaccination rates of as today. 😪 pic.twitter.com/77a0NqnKKI
— Sharlene D Rampersad (@TriniReporter) September 16, 2021
Minaj revealing the phone numbers of the two reporters has sparked yet another round of debates on social media on doxxing and whether it’s appropriate to strike back at journalists in such a way, with many suggesting that Rampersad issuing a not-so-veiled threat to Minaj’s cousin crossed a big line and left Minaj with little choice but to respond accordingly in order to protect her family.
Meanwhile, here’s how Twitter is treating large accounts that have either expressed support for or that have defended Minaj:
Felt it earlier in the week when I tweeted support for Nicki Minaj, Twitter got my follower count on lock. First time I've ever appeared on Tucker and my count hasn't risen. Usually goes up 1k to 1500. Tonight zero. The vaccine shadow ban is real.
— Jason Whitlock (@WhitlockJason) September 18, 2021
Minaj said in another Instagram story last week that she would never post on Twitter again, claiming they suspended her account after she posted her tweets about the vaccine. Twitter denies that they suspended her account.

“a claim disputed not just by Biden’s chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci,”
But wait until Thursday.
With Fauci, patience is the key.
Patience, and receipts.
With Fauci, “patience” is the key.
Well it’s certainly not “patients”, because he doesn’t two hoots about what’s in their best interests.
Has anyone verified the legitimacy of Fauci’s credentials?
The Friendly Grizzly: Has anyone verified the legitimacy of Fauci’s credentials?
Fauci graduated was first in his class with a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell. Since then, he has published extensive scientific research on virology, including HIV.

Yes. I checked. He’s Certified Psychopath with Genocidal tendencies.
I personally don’t advocate for doxing anyone…however, when karma comes calling for the Twitter cancel mob, I don’t stand in the way of karma.
Nicki Manaj singlehandedly has done more to bring fear into the Biden Administration, the pro vaxx fetish crowd, the maskholes, Fauci the liar, and the corrupt Medical Industrial Complex with her objections and questions that maybe the populace will finally wake up and demand accountability, authenticity and justice against those who pushed this into the world.
The maskholes! That’s a great description for the Branch Covidians.
Nicky Minaj is a much bigger deal than these chumps. Larger platform and larger cultural influence and reach. Their condescending attitude, veiled threats and immediate pearl clutching invocation of victim hood when Minaj pushed back speaks volumes. She doesn’t seem to like bullies and certainly understands the basic facts when dealing with them; kick them in the jimmy until they cry and keep at until you get tired. Then kick them some more, it discourages future bullying.
Bullies always do that when you hit back. The VAST majority of bullying accusations at schools where I have taught are bullies using the school process to further bully a victim.
Also…what in the world did they expect from a real person? If they harassed the family of some rednecks around me the response would be measured in thousands of feet per second.
Which is why you should:
1. Always conduct your anti bullying activity off campus
2. Keep kicking them until they are are no longer interested in playing and to such an extent that they quit playing
I despise bullies. I was short, pudgy and wore glasses. Then in 6th grade I grew 6 inches. By 8th grade I was a 6ft 180 lbs athlete; track, football. By 10th grade I was on the varsity and a captain. Still played D&D with my geek friends though and never let anyone mess with them.
We can thank Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friends balls for this!
Her spat with Don Lemon was pretty entertaining.
Wow, Rampersand is truly a piece of work.
At this point, if you honestly think that higher vaccination rate is going to let us get back to ‘normal’, then you are literally too stupid to live.
How many times do the fucking goalposts have to move before these dumbasses wake up and understand this has NOTHING to do with the actual virus.
Yes, it’s endemic, and neither leaky masks nor leaky vaccines nor even planned parent/hood will end the pandemic.
A Plausible Hypothesis, Based On Fact
Much worse is that in Britain it is impossible for there to be widespread communicable disease even for a a virus with an R0 worse than measles:
“Based on antibody testing of blood donors, 97.7% of the adult population now have antibodies to COVID-19 from either infection or vaccination compared to 18.1% that have antibodies from infection alone.”
It is impossible for Britain to have any material Covid-19 infectious activity among adults given this level of prevalence unless the jabs are largely or entirely worthless, or much worse, enhance infection.
This is our shot for immunity, but, apparently, not sterilizing. The vaxx offers a margin of personal protection, symptom suppression, and spread. It was never intended for general distribution. Elections have consequences.
Meanwhile …

Demos-cracy is aborted is darkness.
Their brains are so washed they are sterilized.
I fully support this kind of pushback on any and every elitst prick out there. The damage they are doing to us is too great to worry about decorum.
Who would have guessed Leftists would try and corral a tiger?
Hah, allegations of transphobia are second only to racism in the sociopolitical magic spectrum. That said, diversity (i.e. color judgment) breeds adversity. #HateLovesAbortion
They expected her to fall in line like all the good leftist American artists of color. She’s from Trinidad. She don’t take sh##.
Even it’s anecdotal, the clinical evidence backs excessive harm in low-risk cohorts. That said, good for Minaj. Once you take a knee, you lose your dignity, and may get shot in a novel act of self-defense.
“Nicki Manaj singlehandedly has done more to bring fear into the Biden Administration”
Yep. Keep pissing off your plantation hands, Democrats.
A former prostitute finds redemtion.
That’s more than anyone can say about Kamala Harris.
She was a prostitute ?
I heard from one of my more pop-culture oriented people that she was a stripper with a bad rep. No clue about prostitute.
There was a story, which she seems to have admitted is true when she said, “you gotta do what you gotta do,” that when she was working as a stripper customers would offer to pay her for sex. She’d leave the club with them, but would instead put knockout drugs in their drinks and rob them.

“Nicki Minaj reveals her stripper name – and habit of going commando”
I don’t know if the story is true or not. A lot of hip-hop stars attach themselves to rumors about their past criminality/badassery to enhance their reputations with their fans. Hell, sometimes they start the rumors themselves. Apparently a lot of the stories about Nicky Minaj are true, since she doesn’t start rumors but instead simply tells reporters about her past in on-the-record interviews.
https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/people/2015/01/09/nicki-minaj-i-used-to-steal-bread/21487441/
“The 32-year-old rapper – who was once fired from her job as a waitress at Red Lobster after following and swearing at a customer who took her pen into a car park – has admitted she used to take advantage of her position in an eatery by taking food without paying for it to eat during her younger years.
Speaking in a trailer for her new MTV documentary “My Time Again,” which goes behind the scenes of the making of her latest album “The Pinkprint,” she is seen telling her dancers: ‘When I was a waitress we had to steal bread and eat that.”’
She’s said she was fired from 15 jobs for bitching out customers who she felt dissed her. Which, when you think about it, means it’s entirely plausible she’d turn around and rob a customer at a strip club who treated her like a prostitute.
So, it seems she’s not the kind of ghetto chick (not being racist; she makes bank on her rep as coming from the hood, but unlike AOC in her case it’s true that she grew up in the Bronx) these reporters should have tried to intimidate Whatever she may have done in her past, she’s clearly not going to back down but instead will do “what she’s gotta do.”
Stacey Matthews: Rapper/singer Nicki Minaj has dominated U.S. and international headlines over the last week or so after she committed the unpardonable sin of tweeting about how she was going to do more research before making a decision on whether or not to get one of the Wuhan coronavirus vaccines.
It’s not just because she said “she was going to do more research,” but that she claimed that her cousin’s friend testicles were swollen by the vaccine and that it impacted his marriage. There is no evidence that the COVID vaccine causes testicular swelling. Did Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend seek medical care? It’s an important story because Minaj has a very large following, and it is apparently misinformation.
The White House has offered to have a doctor call her to help her with her research.
“There is no evidence that the COVID vaccine causes testicular swelling.”
Yup, the standard Marxist “baseless” claim — right on cue.
Me, I’d say maybe there is now.
Z: There is no evidence that the COVID vaccine causes testicular swelling.
henrybowman: Me, I’d say maybe there is now.
A third-hand report of Nicki Minaj’s cousin’s friend doesn’t constitute scientific evidence.
An off-topic question for those who are up with fashion trends: what is with this women’s hairstyle that looks like Mickey Mouse ears?
Double bun hairstyles have been popular at least since Princess Leia in Star Wars but no doubt existed before that. There are a couple of dozen of different takes, from the Princess Leia look to moving them behind the ears, to stacked ballerina buns behind the head, to all the way up to the top of the head right next to each other. Not to be outdone, there are also triple bun hairstyles. Like Rodney Dangerfield doing the Triple Lindy, apparently you get extra style points for braided buns.
This is just one of the double bun variations. Apparently, Nicki Minaj is famous for wearing multiple hairstyles in every video. I don’t know which one this is from. Oh, and she’s also famous for singing about her, ahem, and how often she likes to feed it.
Thank you. In some cases, they look silly.
It’s a hairstyle of long-standing for eight-year-old girls, but has recently gained currency with chronological adults.
If she’s going to talk publicly she should be mature enough and prepared enough to hear the opinions of people that disagree with her … rather than jumping on the cultural bandwagon and call them bullies … and personally … I’m loathe to listen to the opines of anyone that makes her living off of vulgarity such as she.
Cancel culture = bullying. If you’re going to comment about something, at least try to pay attention to what you’re commenting about.
The leftist MFM is threatening to sic the leftist mob on her and her family unless Minaj bends the knee and toes their party line. I take it you’re part of the leftist mob since you’re whitewashing actual threats from the cry bullies as merely “opinions” of the people that “disagree.” No, it’s the hysterical shrieking of leftist cult members who can’t tolerate the very existence of people who won’t think what they are told to think, who are always free to have an opinion as long as it doesn’t depart in the slightest from the leftist cult’s religious orthodoxy in the slightest, and when someone like MInaj does depart from what their self-appointed morally superior overlords have decided their identity politics-dictated authorized opinion has to be ( “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” then candidate Joe Biden told black radio talk show host Charlamagne) then they declare such speech “violence” which makes them “unsafe,” and then claim some sort of twisted self-defense right to retaliate with actual violence which they will falsely assert is “speech.”
As you are doing here, deliberately mischaracterizing the threats that forced Nikki Minaj’s family in Trinidad and Tobago into hiding as if she is “immaturely” responding to “opinions.” Which is what the cry bullies do when someone they assault or threaten to assault fights back. In actual fact she is fighting fire with fire, doxxing the reporters who threaten to doxx her family and sic the leftist mob on them to force them to go public. She just showed them she can play the game they play. So cry me a river.
Her source of income isn’t relevant to her statement about Covid; read, research, pray about it and make your own decision v simply giving in to bullies.
We don’t have to adopt Minaj and declare her to be a doctrinaire conservative in order to agree with her statement about Covid.
You don’t believe that extortionists who threaten your family are bullies?
Wow, you ARE an a****e.
Threats and Blackmail is “legitimate pursuit of a story” these days?
