Key Takeaways

  • Rah Ali accused former longtime friend Nicki Minaj of trying to destroy her, saying she refuses to let the rapper act as her “puppet master.”
  • Ali demanded evidence or an apology over an alleged $30 million theft claim that, according to her outlet OnSite! Media, Minaj directed a YouTuber to spread.

Rah Ali has spoken out about the alleged treatment by Nicki Minaj, her former friend of over a decade.

In a video shared on Instagram on Tuesday (Oct. 27), Ali expressed her frustration with Minaj, whom she accuses of intentionally trying to “destroy” her.

“I have been loyal, I’ve been honest, I’ve been trustworthy,” she said. “I have not done anything at all to her. However, there comes a point where you have to say enough is enough… and that's where I am.”

“Where I am today is, I'm not gonna sit back and allow someone to intentionally try to destroy me, simply because I won't allow them to be a puppet master,” Ali continued.

The suspected reason behind her fallout with Minaj is explored on OnSite! Media, which is owned by Ali.

According to OnSite! Media, Minaj allegedly instructed a YouTuber to spread false information about Ali stealing $30 million from the rapper.

“You've empowered and given license to others to spread deplorable lies about me, smearing my character and throwing away the friendship,” Ali wrote in an open letter to Minaj shared on X Thursday (Oct. 29). “To be lied on by someone you don't know is one thing; for it to come from you is unimaginable. You have put me and so many people who care for you and have rooted for you at risk.”

In the letter, Ali challenged Minaj to either provide evidence to support her claim or apologize.

Ali was allegedly advised to ignore Minaj’s accusations, but broke her silence after being subjected to death threats from her fans.

Ali believes Minaj’s fans will continue their hostile online behavior towards her and her family until the matter is settled. As of now, Minaj has not responded to the claims.
