It’s been over a week since a Dallas court handed down a guilty verdict to former policewoman Amber Guyger after she was tried for the murder of her neighbor, an unarmed Black man named Botham Jean, but that certainly hasn’t slowed chatter around the case. Sentenced to 10 years in prison for the act, several aspects of the proceeding – including the length of her sentence (given the severity of the crime) – have been met with harsh criticism from legal analysts, celebrities, and more.
While the judge presiding over the case, the honorable Tammy Kemp, has been on a media blitz to justify her ‘inappropriate’ and ‘unethical’ courtroom behavior (click here to read more), other key players – including Jean’s family lawyer S. Lee Merritt – is fielding criticism on his clients’ behalf for the flack they’ve received for their courtroom actions (see: forgiving Guyger, etc.).
After catching wind of a disparaging Twitter comment from Grammy nominated rapper Nicki Minaj after the death of star witness Joshua Brown, Merritt took to Instagram (October 10) to not only clap back but also praise the femcee’s ‘more active’ musical counterparts for their role in the fight for justice.

Merritt incited fury from Minaj’s fans, affectionately called #Barbz, when he responded with:

Nicki is p*** supporting TRASH
nicki is a multi millionaire with millions of fans all across the world.. and you?
i can understand the outrage over the judge hugging the defendant but the brother. if that’s what he needs in order to heal that’s his journey. u wouldn’t do it well thats you. for her to make the comment she made about him letting them suffer is very insensitive. that man is still gone from them. a conspiracy theory is just that a theory. it is irresponsible to make that type of statement when it hasn’t been proved that this young man was killed due to his testimony. she made harsh statements and was met with them. every other celeb did mention the hugging but none said anything about him letting them suffer by not testifying.
So what just because Nicki wasn’t politically correct or a house negro she is wrong, pff fck that.
for someone whose brother is a r***** and married to one, it woulda been best for her to stfu. if that little girl and her mother forgave her brother would she have the same response? didn’t safaree forgive her for stabbing him. didn’t she expect for the courts to go easy on meek. doesn’t she surround herself with criminals. didn’t she just threaten a few others with her new hubby and goons? like come on. didn’t she just claim to retire because of all the hate she receives just to turn around and do the same thing all thee time. i mean isn’t that why she has her lil podcast. she only goes on there to rant and rave. she hasn’t done an episode yet where she didn’t. hell the first episode she went off on her label and management.
But she wasn’t the only one that made that comment. So what’s your excuse for him not coming at any of the men that made that comment?
i must also say nicki should have just kept that in her circle cuz the police killing him is just a theory but her brother’s actions are proven. she didn’t speak on that or her ties to other problematic ty[pes like 69 and her hubby soo she should shut it.
Nicki got SONNED!!! Another L for HOnika and her neutered Ken Barbz and fake woke Black feministas. Hahahahaaaaaaaa
nicki was the highest paid female rapper for the last ten years … which L, get a job and stop hating on the queen of rap she is UNBOTHERED
I don’t like Nicki Minaj but I agree with her on this one and Bothem Jean family lawyer is just a damn clout chaser for bring up that Nicki vs Cardi mess. If the situation were reverse and Bothem Jean would have going in Amber Guyger apartment shot and killed her would he get a 10 year sentence and a hug from the judge. Foh with that bs
Forgiveness was the little brother’s way of dealing with his grief. He did it as much for himself as her or maybe even moreso for himself. Nicki was wrong to judge him for that or suggest that Joshua Brown should have denied the whole family as they sought justice for Botham. Brown did the right thing by testifying. Nicki’s logic was way off base.
Hes said what he said Period!
Niki is ignorant to the issue and the Brother
She shou;ld stay with her perdi bum no job husband and shut it!
Logg off sis!!! Niki Logg OFF!
hahaha fo real
like shut you unwanted attention seeking mouth!
this old lady is dum and fulll of nasty seed
Lol I love how Nicki Minaj never usually comments on social injustice or issues that affect the minorities unless it financially benefits her stay in ur air head Lane Nicki ?
Stop using Cardi’s name for click bait
The ppl really hate Nicki Minaj… I mean just about everybody…
I don’t think she cares about people her family and fans love her and that’s all that matters let the angry people stay mad
U Trash
Niki is such trash!
always needing attention ! stupid girl!
mind your ugly brother who likes underage girls! you go huig his looser b***!
niki is dum like go away and really retire and leave
Old lady is pure ignorance and body shaped like a dummy!
Wow. That was the scalping of a lifetime. For such a smart woman, Nicki sure puts her foot in her mouth pften when it comes to politics and social issues.
I agree, she walked right into that one and deserved to be corrected.
“He should’ve let y’all suffer and minded his business” … that part was harsh. Have to agree with the family attorney on this one. Joshua Brown did the right thing by testifying and his testimony may have contributed to the guilty verdict, regardless of the brother’s forgiveness.
At first I thought she was saying what we all felt until she went and said, “he should’ve let y’all suffer.” Like why does she have to say stuff like that? Wtf
