  • Nicki Minaj just responded to comments that Wendy Williams made about her new husband Kenneth Petty on her talk show.

  • Nicki confirmed that she was married just last week.


Nicki Minaj has been full of surprises lately—first she tweeted that she was retiring from making music back in September, and then last week she confirmed that she did indeed marry her controversial boyfriend Kenneth Petty. (For those of y'all who don't know, the reason that Kenneth is so controversial is that he's a registered sex offender who went to prison for attempted rape, and years later he pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter. Sooo yeah.)

Well, according to E!, talk show host Wendy Williams had a LOT to say about Nicki's new husband on her show recently, including:

"I don't know what he does for a living, I just know that he did time in jail...he's a sex offender. Well, she's no stranger to that because her [brother] is in jail for sex offending. Well, first-degree manslaughter. Now, he served seven years in prison, and he's also a sex offender, so that means that he…is a manslaughter a killer? Okay. So, he's a killer and a sex offender…Well Nicki, congratulations.

And it looks like Nicki was none too pleased with Wendy's assessment of her husband, so she fired back on Queen Radio with a pretty intense rant, saying:

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 didn't know that in our society, you have to be plagued by your past. I didn't know that people can't turn over a new leaf. I didn't know that your viciousness and evilness was this deep-rooted.

Oh, and that's not all! Nicki continued with some personal attacks against Wendy, saying:

When a woman isn't really being loved at home, the viciousness is a different type. So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life. Look at what age you are...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—without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense.

Uh, wowza. Don't cross Nicki, people!
