As reported here Monday (September 12), shockwaves were sent through the music industry after reports surfaced rapper PnB Rock was shot and killed in Los Angeles as a result of a robbery attempt.  He was only 30-years-old.

While a number of his Hip Hop peers and fans flooded social media with condolences and sympathies for his family, Rap Queen Nicki Minaj did too – but not without issuing a stern message to rappers about the company they keep.

Citing Rock’s death as a cautionary tale, her warnings – although cheered on by her fans affectionately called #Barbz – earned jeers from some and was even branded as ‘untimely’ and ‘insensitive.’

Look inside to see how she responded to criticism.

Minaj, already dominating headlines this week for alleged beefs related to Megan Thee Stallion and actress-reality star Garcelle Beauvais, showed no signs of using her platforms to demonstrate her outspokenness as she weighed in on the shooting death of Rock.

“After [the death of] Pop Smoke there’s no way we as rappers or our loved ones are still posting locations to our whereabouts,” she began.  “To show waffles and some fried chicken???! He was such a pleasure to work with. Condolences to his mom and family.  This makes me feel so sick. Jesus.”

The message rubbed some the wrong way as it was believed to infer Rock’s girlfriend, who had posted a location-tagged photo in LA’s Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles, was to blame for his killing.

Once the detraction found its way back to Nicki, she doubled down on her original sentiment about her late ‘Fendi’ co-star.
