Nicki Minaj Alludes To “Roman” Leaving After Negative Backlash

After a day filled with heated exchanges directed at Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj took to social media to hint at the departure of her alter ego “Roman” amid backlash over her remarks toward her former collaborator. On Saturday (Jan. 27), the “Everybody” rapper posted, “I think Roman just called his pilot to leave [Gag City] chi I-.”

During a live audio stream, Minaj questioned whether the rules of engagement in Hip Hop beef have evolved based on the response to her disses aimed at her former “Hot Girl Summer” collaborator. She noted the difference in handling her current beef with Megan Thee Stallion compared to how people treated conflicts involving JAY-Z and Nas.

She reaffirmed her position by endorsing a tweet that stated, “I said it months before that the ones asking for Roman wouldn’t be able to handle him once he’s here chile.” Additionally, she also favored another post asserting, “That’s the thing, a lot of ‘barbz’ think Roman is just the voices and movement, [honey], Roman push his pen and [doesn’t give a f**k] about what people might think!!”

Afterward, fans of the “FTCU” rapper experienced a whirlwind of emotions when Minaj appeared to support controversial political figure Ben Shapiro. Taking to Twitter, she shared, “Ben Shapiro put out a diss record. He said his comment sections are filled with woke Karens. The song is No. 1 on US iTunes. What is really happening, and who is that other man rapping???? Is this real life??!! He said, ‘Nicki, take some notes.’ Nah, AYO, nah.”

She followed up with a response, stating, “I just listened to it, Ben Shapiro, not bad. Congrats on No. 1. But it [definitely]sounds like Roman’s Revenge when the beat first came in… [I don’t know].” Fans on various social platforms have been comparing Beyoncé’s social media presence to Minaj’s lately. Some feel Minaj’s behavior on social media is inappropriate given her age.
