I think Nicki Minaj has just gone off the deep end. If it isn’t someone disrespecting her because she’s “a female” rapper, it’s another woman who’s acting like a diva (not her), or her walking away from and interviewer (in this case). Access Hollywood reporter, Laura Saltman had made an attempt to ask Nicki a few questions (two to be exact) about the continuous beef between herself, and Mariah Carey. Apparently, since she thought the question was a “negative” one, she exited stage left. Saltman wasn’t too happy about that since she wrote her deepest feelings about the YMCMB raptress in a blog. It’s obvious that, Nicki wasn’t feeling her comments either. #Disrespectful! Drop down bottom and check out how they these two ladies are acting.
Laura took to Hollywood Access’ blog to post this about Nicki after she walked off from an interview:
Nicki and Mariah’s not-so-charming banter has included Nicki calling Mariah “sir” two weeks ago after a spat and Wednesday night referring to her as “Honey Boo Boo” as a final slam. For the record, Mariah never heard Nicki’s “sir” comment until after the show aired. When asked about it backstage, she wanted to respond but her publicist smartly told her not too. You see, Mariah is a professional who understands her reputation is everything. She has class. Nicki is another story.
In my 20 years in entertainment news, I have interviewed close to 5,000 celebrities — people who have bigger bragging rights than Nicki. Men and women who have Oscars , Grammys and Emmys. Yet, by far, she is the most ungracious of anyone I have met.
Each week, she comes backstage for interviews and we are told “two questions only” while her people hover over you and even, at times, have their hand on your arm as you end your interview to make you stop. Waiver from the two-question rule and Nicki herself will walk away. She makes zero eye contact and has no connection to whomever is interviewing her. If she likes your question, she may give you a proper answer. If she doesn’t, she may give you a dirty look and walk off. After she posted mean comments about Mariah on Twitter yesterday calling her “bitter” and “insecure,” I wanted to give her the opportunity to redeem herself or perhaps apologize. I phrased my question that her comments had caused quite a stir online and asked if she had anything to say about it. She looked at me and told me my question made no sense and when I tried to explain it further she just said “goodnight” and walked off in a huff.
In my 12 years covering “Idol,” I have never seen someone with such a disconnect to the media.
Check out what Nicki had to say in the gallery! Also, for more of her rant, check this out! Nicki’s PR people must be sitting on their a**es. If NOT I would say publicity stunt.
