Nicki Minaj recently offered a job to the woman whose photo was used in a recent rappers “ex-assistant” scandal.
Mystery Woman Identity Confirmed
The “ex- assistants” name is Megan F. Bettencourt. Bettencourt tweeted on August 3rd explaining that she had nothing to do with any allegations made against the Young Money rapper.
“To be clear: I have never had a secret life as the ‘ex-assistant’ of @NICKIMINAJ,” Bettencourt wrote. “Someone stole my photo and used it in a fake account. Fraudulent impersonation wasn’t the way I envisioned being mentioned in @Newsweek, but hey, scammers gonna scam.”
Minaj replied: “Ok you know TF what? well hey, if you ever need a job hit me up. I feel bad. but hey cheers to Newsweek! Always a silver living. i-i guess?”
How It Started
All of the controversy started on August 1st when an account going by the name Kate Miller posted a number of Instagram stories containing bizarre claims about Nicki Minaj. The stories had claims regarding Minajs relationships with artists such as Drake, Lil Wayne, Cardi B, Rihanna, JAY-Z, Nas, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat, and Meek Mill.
“I am Onika ex assistant who she fired for absolutely no proof of fraud with her bank account,” the person claimed. “I’m exposing all files I have from working for her. Along with the voice messages she sent me regarding many different people not just Cardi B.”
The alleged former assistant went on to make claims that Minaj owed $173 million to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), paid to boost her upcoming single “Freaky Girl” on the charts, and about her drug use. The “former assistant” also set their sights on Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender who has been incarcerated twice for attempted rape and first-degree manslaughter.
Nicki Minaj’s Response
Minaj replied to the allegations on Instagram later that evening stating, “I am mind blown that people are this fucking dumb,” she said. “That people are really believing that I got somebody that work for me and now they spilling tea. Chile. But it’s not even that; it’s the tea sound so fucking dumb, and for a person to believe it, you would have to be dumb.”
“It’s clearly a kid. Do you know how much money you have to make to owe that amount of money to the IRS? … Like, come on. What? Get off of my sweet Trinidadian pussy. I really need y’all to either get a job, invest in yourself and your future.”
