The Orange Is the New Black star and DJ shared an alleged negative experience working with Nicki shortly after the rapper went on an anti-gay rant against news commentator Don Lemon for his coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church.
After a Threads user posted a screenshot of Nicki’s tweet that directed an anti-gay slur at Don, writing, “Stick a fork in her,” Ruby responded and shared details about her own allegedly negative experience with Nicki when they toured together years ago.
She wrote, “I toured with Nicki Minaj. Her ego is so outsized she HAD to fire someone after every show. Publicly, because she is 3 ft maga.”
She went on to allege that Nicki fired a staffer on the first night. “On night one she fired the security for not seamlessly carrying her from the stage – because she went to jump off several bars early.”
Ruby said things escalated several nights later. “The 3rd night was best,” she wrote. “We were all going to get fired. Because it was her birthday, and well… Someone on her team had organized a bunch of her friends and celebrities to do a happy birthday montage video. So kind! Only problem was – Of the dozen or so video messages that came in, not one had her age ‘right.’ And now her real age had been leaked.”
“I could go on,” Ruby concluded, “but I’m waiting for her next outburst.”
While Ruby didn’t specify which tour the alleged incidents occurred on, she previously posted about joining Nicki on her 2012 Pink Friday: Reloaded tour as an opener. Tyga also reportedly performed on that tour.
Ruby’s post prompted further negative commentary about Nicki, including from fellow actor Yvette Nicole Brown. In a Threads post, Yvette said, “I know someone who worked on the wardrobe team that did a fitting at her house. She wouldn’t allow anyone to use the bathroom. Not even the guest bathroom near the front door. Just decided that they didn’t deserve to relieve themselves on her sacred premises. #Trash”
As of writing, Nicki has not publicly responded to either Ruby’s or Yvette’s posts, but BuzzFeed has contacted her reps for comment. In the meantime, LMK what you think below.
