Nicki Minaj Fans DOXX Those Who Cross The Line
In January 2024, Nicki Minaj one-sidedly entered an internet war between herself and Megan Thee Stallion. The drama between the rappers began when Megan released her single, “Hiss,” which she said was a response to the negative comments spewing about her over the years. Meg never addressed Nicki, though the Texas native’s Megan’s Law diss — a law that requires sex offenders’ information to be public — didn’t sit well with hip-hop’s Barbie.
Nicki’s Response to Megan’s Diss in “Hiss” Track
Nicki has responded to Megan’s perceived attack on her family by dragging her on social media and in her track, a dig at Megan being shot in the foot by Tory Lanez. What’s more, Nicki’s loyal fans, affectionately known as the “Barbz,” have stepped into the very public group chat.
Barbz’s History of Doxxing Critics
Since “Hiss'” release, the Barbz have gone so far as to search Nicki’s critics’ names, jobs, and other personal information for malicious intent, otherwise known as doxxing.
2018: The Barbz Doxxed Two Critics
We’re still determining exactly when the Barbz felt comfortable enough to doxx one’s information on Nicki’s behalf. However, in 2018, two instances between the fandom and Nicki’s critics showed what they could do.
2021: Doxxing of Alleged Sexual Assault Victim
In 2021, the Barbz doxxed Jennifer Hough after her appearance on The Real. On the show, Jennifer shared her recount of being sexually assaulted at 16 by Nicki’s husband, Kenneth Petty.
2021: Doxxing Journalists for Questioning Nicki Minaj’s Claims
The Barbz’ doxxing skills have no bounds, as was proven in another incident involving Nicki in September 2021. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicki tweeted an anecdote about how her cousin’s friend received the vaccine in Trinidad and claimed his testicles were swollen due to the vaccine.
Barbz Targets Critics and Critics Return Fire
Though the Barbz have become familiar with doxxing anyone who comes in Nicki’s way, the 2024 attacks on her critics have taken the cake.
In 2018, the Barbz doxxed two of Nicki’s critics after she addressed them on Twitter. In 2021, the Barbz attacked the woman who Nicki’s husband, Kenneth Petty allegedly sexually assaulted. The Barbz also began doxxing journalists who questioned Nicki’s comments about the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. Another critic, Kimberly Foster, created a GoFundMe account after being doxxed by the Barbz in 2022.
Outrage and Grave Desecration
On Jan. 30, 2024, the Barbz reportedly doxxed the site where Megan buried her mom, Holly Thomas. Several Barbz posted Holly’s grave’s location online, encouraging others to desecrate her grave to avenge Nicki. As Megan remains silent about the ordeal, the Barbz naysayers beg the fandom to calm down. Nicki herself, however, seemingly doesn’t want their doxxing to end anytime soon.
