Catch up, ugly – Nicki Minaj shuts down bankruptcy rumours with fiery clapback

Nicki Minaj has come out swinging against online rumours claiming she went bankrupt following her recent world tour or owed Jay-Z a staggering $200 million.

The rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to silence the speculation in a now-viral post that radiates her trademark mix of humour, confidence, and defiance.

“Buying another Mansion as we speak. It would be the 3rd in 2 years,” she wrote. “That’s besides the property I bought for others for 15 years. Catch up ugly.”

Minaj, who’s no stranger to outlandish gossip, continued by reminding fans and critics alike of her immense earning power: “If tmrw I wake up & want maybe 20-30MM, all I have to do is hand in my album… Then I’d tour again & gross over a hunnit.”

The tweet appeared to be a direct response to critics and alleged bots spreading misinformation, which she dismissed as “projection from Bot Nation.”

She also threw shots at Desiree Perez, a music executive linked to Roc Nation, accusing her of disturbing behaviour and calling for a mental evaluation.

“Do you realize this is Nicki Minaj?” she asked rhetorically, reinforcing her superstar status. “Send that hoe to the mental asylum & leave her ugly ass in there forever,” she concluded in classic no-holds-barred Minaj fashion.
