“It’s not about doing your job,” Minaj continued. “There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you’re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated.”

“I was one of those black women supporting you when that came out,” she continued.
Minaj added, “I know we’re human first, we’re human before we’re celebrities, we’re human before we’re personas. And I know you must have gone through a lot. But you are demonic, and that’s why this stuff unfolded. If I were you, I would go and pray, ask for forgiveness. You can report the news — people do it all the time — report the news without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense.”
