Billy Porter has made his fair share of headlines over the years for being one of Hollywood’s most outspoken characters, but his latest act of brazenness landed him on the radar of one of music’s most active fan bases (#Barbz) after he lent a less-than-endorsing message to Nicki Minaj.

While rocking the red carpet of the fourth annual Recording Academy Honors on Thursday (January 29), Billy chatted it up with our friends at ‘Hollywood Unlocked.’
During the interview, the 56-year-old waxed honest about his inability to separate “the music” from “the artist” when it comes to celebrities who engage in activities he doesn’t support.
When the interviewer pinpointed Minaj, however, Porter let loose.
“F*ck her,” he emphasized repeatedly. “When a person shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
Undoubtedly the most stinging critique the Rap diva’s received over the last few months since publicly pledging her support to Trump, Billy’s disses are the latest in a string of anti-Nicki sentiments expressed by fellow celebs and former fans alike.
Likely because Minaj is currently in a locked horns battle with journalist and media personality Don Lemon, however, she’s not made a statement in response to Porter at the time of this report.

Billy really should be focused on his sepsis situation that he got from the A I D S he got from lying up under so many white men. Concern yourself with your health, Boo. Nicki should be the last of your concerns.
Most of us feel the same way. Fcuk her! She chose a position and so have we.
Nicki is not the only celebrity millionaire who supports Trump but you mad at Nicki because you’re a raggedy ann b**** and Nicki a Barbie b****
Why is he picking on only Nicki
Why didn’t he say F*** Jeff Bezos
F*** Nelly or F*** Trump cause he a b**** ass n****
Why didn’t he say F*** 50 cent cause he don’t want 50 beating his b**** ass
