When rapper Nicki Minaj posted a Halloween video on October 30 that seems to feature a disabled person, she was criticized on social media for making fun of a person with a handicap.
Given the level of outspokenness of the “Bang Bang” singer-rapper, she immediately took to Twitter on November 1 to explain to the whole world that her video showed her friend who was riding a mobility scooter and not some handicapped stranger.
She tweeted that the person in the video is not disabled. She also fired back when she asked the outlet that posted the report whether it was a desperate call for attention.
Nicki then made a subsequent post on her Twitter starting it off with a curse before explaining that it was her friend that was on the mobility scooter. She ended her post by saying to her followers to have a great day because she surely will have one, details Billboard.
Apparently, instead of being piqued, she just made fun of the wrong interpretation of her Halloween video.
Nonetheless, to avoid further confusion and issues, Nicki has decided to take down the Halloween video on her Instagram account.
The video actually shows Nicki in Las Vegas dressed as a fairy princess. She was seen laughing while walking down a hallway. She then points her magic wand at a person in a scooter and says ‘Walk, I command you to walk,’ before laughing out loudly.
A TV series on Nicki
Meanwhile, the ABC Family network will be holding open online auditions to find an actress who shall play a younger version of the “Anaconda” singer for a new TV series based on the singer-rapper’s life.
The network is said to be looking for a girl between the ages of 11 to 13 to play the Grammy Award-nominated pop singer.
As the executive producer of the upcoming TV series, Nicki Minaj will have overall supervision of the upcoming show on the ABC Family. Accordingly, it will be a half-hour comedy series and will detail the immigration of Nicki and her family from Trinidad to the US in the early 90s, notes The Wrap.
It will also focus on Minaj’s childhood in the Queens with her family and her personal and musical evolution that paved the way for her eventual rise to stardom.
The TV series will be shot in New York and has already received a series commitment order last September. A release date next year for the show has yet to be announced.
In a recent interview, Nicki said that the TV series is one of the most unique adventures that she has ever embarked on. She said that she could not be more proud and excited to team up with an amazing group of people to give the world something really special.
Going stronger than ever
There have been rumors as of late that Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill have already broken up. Instead of making a statement to deny those speculations, Nicki took to Instagram and posted several of her latest pictures with her rapper-boyfriend.
The images were full of cuddling and PDA selfies and showed that the couple is very much in love contrary to reports that they have already split.
It was an indirect way of debunking allegations that she and Meek have already called it quits because apparently, the “Feeling Myself” rapper-singer believes that action speaks louder than words.
Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill may be dating each other and seems to be hitting it off well as a couple, but working together professionally is not always smooth.
