Nicki Minaj went on a social media tirade on Tuesday (December 11) as she threatened to sue Daily Mail television host Jesse Palmer. The problem? Unless people caught the show, nobody knew what Palmer said to get Nicki so riled up.
According to TMZ, Nicki was upset that Palmer falsely claimed she supported her brother Jelani Maraj after he was convicted of raping his 11-year-old former stepdaughter.
“Her fans are also worried because this isn’t the first time Nicki Minaj has defended a sex offender,” he said during the segment. “Remember, she supported her brother Jelani Maraj after he was found guilty of raping an 11-year-old girl.”
Following the airing of the show, Nicki accused Palmer of defamation and vowed to sue Palmer.

“You just lied on me on nat’l TV & now you’re being sued,” she tweeted on Tuesday. “You better be able to back up what you just said about me with FACTS.”
Over the course of Marja’s trials, Nicki never showed up to any of the court hearings. In November 2017, she visited him once in jail to support their mother Carol but hasn’t returned.

Something Daily Mail TV host Jesse Palmer said evidently caused Nicki Minaj to lash out. On Tuesday (December 11), Black Barbie headed to social media and threatened Palmer with a lawsuit.
“You better have a good lawyer, #JessePalmer #ArnoldPalmer,” she wrote alongside a photo of Palmer. “You just lied on me on nat’l TV & now you’re being sued. You better be able to back up what you just said about me with FACTS. #SuperFacts #Defamation.”
Nicki wasn’t done there. She then hopped over to Twitter where the platinum-selling artist continued digging at Palmer.

It’s unclear what exactly triggered Nicki but considering her alleged boyfriend Kenneth Petty was recently identified as a convicted sex offender, it’s possible the news was related to her personal life.

Palmer has yet to respond publicly.
