Nicki Minaj has something to say. In light of Kanye West’s erratic tweets, Pete Davidson‘s alarming suicidal message on his now-deleted Instagram account and Mac Miller‘s death, the Queens rap star is calling for people to show more compassion towards mental illness.
“We can be so insensitive,” Nicki tweeted on Saturday morning (December 15). “God bless Kanye & Pete. Being flippant about mental illness speaks more about you than them. Stop saying the word love & live it. Love is an action.”
Nicki has since received plenty of backlash and accused of “picking sides.” Some are asking her to not say anything at all since her boyfriend is a registered sex offender and some are suggesting she remain silent since the Barbz are notorious for attacking anyone Nicki puts on blast for allegedly wronging her. Minaj isn’t scared of the heat though.
“I’m not afraid of internet trolls, blogs, artists,” she says in reply to a fan on Twitter. “I don’t jump on band wagons. Many will never know what it feels like to have a mind of their own.”
On social media, where Stan, cancel and drag culture thrive, it’s become almost like a sport to hate and bully prominent figures without regard to their mental health. When Ariana Grande had public breakups with Davidson and Miller, her fans came after them both.
Grande recently had to ask her legion of fans to be a bit more “gentle” with Davidson after he revealed on his Instagram her fans had been bullying him online and in real life for nine months.
On Saturday, Davidson posted a message to his Instagram that suggested he is suicidal, which Nicki also commented on.
“i really don’t want to be on this earth anymore,” he wrote. “i’m doing my best to stay here for you but i actually don’t know how much longer i can last,” he wrote.
According to TMZ, NYPD has been notified and they’re on the way to do a welfare check. Machine Gun Kelly also has plans on making sure the SNL star is safe.
In Kanye’s series of tweets, he was open about his mental health and called out Drake for poking at him and Kid Cudi knowing their fragile mental state. He even expressed he was hurt Grande would use his Twitter rant to promote a new single, which prompted her to issue an apology.
Cudi seems to be satisfied with Nicki for speaking out.

Man I hope Pete is okay, he’s just a dude who loved a girl and it didn’t work out. It’s hard enough to go through heartbreak, but going through it with a mental illness and a bloodthirsty legion of fans of your ex that go after you has got to be hell. I hope he knows that a lot of people with similar issues to his really have genuine love for him. Keep your head up Pete, there’s gonna be better days ahead,
He should be happy he got laid and that retarded liberals in New York think he is bill Hicks for pre teens. If he was probably Trump he be off tv. You should feel for people not famous rich untalented and we’ll sexed. Save your sympathy for those suffering not a guy that’s temporarily out of pussy and weed.
What do you know about him? Should he be ignored just because he’s famous? Don’t be a moron! Regular people don’t get 1000’s of messages sent to them on a daily basis telling them to kill themselves and whatever else. We shouldn’t be brushing it off for any reason, doesn’t matter who they are or what their stature is!
Please. Fuck these dummies. They’re not related to me.
She never be a spokesperson for spreading ‘love’.
Make comedy great again. Trump derangement syndrome has Pete harder than the chronic. #MAGA
