Nicki Minaj’s little sister Ming Li clapped back after fans speculated the rap queen shaded her as a “mooch and a clown.”
There might be some serious tension brewing in the Minaj household. Superstar rapper Nicki Minaj seemingly threw some major shade at her younger sister, Ming Li, labeling her a “mooch” and a “clown” during one of her infamous Stationhead live sessions. Ouch! However, Ming Li’s response is surprisingly filled with love and a lot of self-belief.
Let’s dive into this sibling showdown!
Well, Ming Li has been trying to carve out her own path in the rap world, and naturally, during interviews, the topic of her famous big sister often comes up.
Now, Nicki hasn’t directly named Ming Li in her online rants, but a particular Stationhead session back in August 2024 had fans putting on their detective hats. Nicki made a pointed comment about blood relations.
“Even with blood relation, what God has given to me is mine. You have to go and get your own. You have to discover whatever it is that you’re great at. Being a mooch and a clown don’t run in my DNA.”
Given that Ming Li has been talking about Nicki in interviews, fans connected the dots. It sounded like some not-so-subtle shade was being thrown.
Now, you’d expect a fiery clapback, right? However, Ming Li’s reaction was surprisingly mature and centered. When a reporter straight-up asked her about these alleged disses at the premiere of “Baddies Gone Wild,” a show Ming Li is part of, her answer was simple and direct: “I love my sister.”
But Ming Li wasn’t done there. She took to social media to further express her feelings, and her words were powerful. “I still love her. I tried as a sister to please her, but I realize I gotta please God first cause only he can judge the gift he gave me,” she wrote. She followed that up with an even more resolute message: “It’s okay, I said what I said, still love her, so Imma still do what I gotta do to move forward and move up. It’s whatever, no hate and no drama and no disrespect either, but just know, God is always on my side.”
Nicki Minaj is known for being fiercely protective of her inner circle, so these perceived jabs at her own sister have raised some eyebrows among fans. Some were even surprised by the harsh words allegedly directed at Ming Li.
Ming Li seems determined to focus on her own journey and trust her path despite the alleged negativity from her famous sibling.
