Nicki Minaj Threatens to Fire DJ After Controversial Fan Interaction

 

Nicki Minaj has issued a stern warning to her “Pink Friday 2” world tour DJ, DJ Boof, following a contentious fan interaction. The 41-year-old rapper took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express her disapproval after DJ Boof posted a photo of himself signing a fan’s chest, accompanied by a boastful caption.

“I promise I’ll fire him if I EVAHHHHH see this again. Df,” Minaj, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, wrote in response to DJ Boof’s post, which claimed, “I’m really famous,” along with a laughing emoji.

Minaj's reaction ignited discussions among her fans, with some pointing out the apparent double standard, as Minaj herself has signed fans' chests in the past. Comments such as “he’s tryna steal your job” and “He wanna be Nicki so bad” flooded the post, reflecting mixed reactions to the DJ's behavior and Minaj’s response.

This incident follows Minaj’s brief arrest on Saturday by Dutch authorities at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, where she was fined for allegedly carrying drugs. Minaj documented parts of the arrest on Instagram, claiming the drugs belonged to her security team and describing the situation as a misunderstanding. This legal hiccup forced her to cancel her scheduled concert in Manchester, England. >Despite the setback, Minaj was able to perform at her next tour stop and apologized to her Manchester fans in person and via social media. She expressed her frustration over the ordeal, alleging that her former team, which she claimed to have fired for theft, was behind the delay.

DJ Boof, known for his work on “The Wendy Show,” appeared to backtrack on his quest for fame in an Instagram Story on Monday, stating, “Growing up I used to want to be famous but we all know you can be famously broke.”

Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2” tour continues, with the rapper determined to move past recent events and deliver for her fans. The Co-op Live arena in Manchester acknowledged the inconvenience caused by her absence and expressed disappointment in the situation.
