As reported here Monday (September 12), shockwaves were sent through the music industry after reports surfaced rapper PnB Rock was shot and killed in Los Angeles as a result of a robbery attempt. He was only 30-years-old.
While a number of his Hip Hop peers and fans flooded social media with condolences and sympathies for his family, Rap Queen Nicki Minaj did too – but not without issuing a stern message to rappers about the company they keep.
Citing Rock’s death as a cautionary tale, her warnings – although cheered on by her fans affectionately called #Barbz – earned jeers from some and was even branded as ‘untimely’ and ‘insensitive.’
Look inside to see how she responded to criticism.
Minaj, already dominating headlines this week for alleged beefs related to Megan Thee Stallion and actress-reality star Garcelle Beauvais, showed no signs of using her platforms to demonstrate her outspokenness as she weighed in on the shooting death of Rock.
“After [the death of] Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” she began. “To show waffles and some fried chicken???! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom and family. This makes me feel so sick. Jesus.”
The message rubbed some the wrong way as it was believed to infer Rock’s girlfriend, who had posted a location-tagged photo in LA’s Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles, was to blame for his killing.
Once the detraction found its way back to Nicki, she doubled down on her original sentiment about her late ‘Fendi’ co-star.
She told NO LIES!!!!
These rappers are NOT moving smart out here. There is definitely a pattern of wealthy Black Men being sought after for their wealth and the killers, gold diggers are winning.
The evidence is wildly available. Now it’s up to you guys to accept the REALITY.
We are at WAR and our men is losing.
This p** is disgusting. This is not about you lard ä$$. I’ll be glad when she take her high a$$ to sleep f***** pill head. As old as this big nose dinosaur is you would think the bïtçh knew some better but she’s a pathetic fat silicone body idiot without a damn brain. What a waste of life. I guess that’s what happens when you dumb yourself down to marry a RÅPÏST. Oñïgga is done
You seem so triggered d*****, have any crayons around?? Post your nose and we see how perfect it is c***. You’re typical on the internet. A nobody always having a negative opinion about somebody. You cant even be hired to shine her shoes f***** loser.
How tf you know what I’m doing? I don’t typically respond to losers but girl you need a life. My comment was for how I feel about Nicki Minaj, why does that bother you fäggôt? Like I said the bïtçh is pathetic. Find a hobby and get off my dìçk cause I ain’t goin füçk u, fckn bottom. And I would never work for the household of a RÅPÏST, let alone shining shoes. Speaking of jobs, GET ONE HÖË cause picking fights on the internet just cause your girl is a square is kinda sad
Not my fault that your dusty ass catches the bus broke ass hating n****
Twat cant even kill a cat but out here calling himself a gangsta, lmao! Funny little hoodlum criminal btw whats your life expectancy crack head??
This is 1 of those times I actually agree with her. Don’t be mad because she’s not sugar coating this when it’s literally life and death. Maybe just maybe this will actually make ppl think twice about posting locations when they’re with high profile people.
I do not like Nicki, but I agree with her. How many more deathly reminders do these rappers need when it comes to the company they keep? They need to stop dating and impregnating the IG and OF thots and get with non hood chicks, or just get with wholesome white girls to live longer lives.
Isn’t Nicki’s address available on the s** offender registry? Rich of her to talk about celebrities posting locations….

These are the degenerates chloe bailey hangs around. I remember that video were she was close to a shoot out
