Nicki Minaj isn’t really known for having tactfulness. But it’s one thing to feud with another celeb, it’s another thing to upset your fanbase and bite the hand that feeds you!
On Wednesday, the Anaconda rapper came under some fire for blocking a fan for criticizing her silence on the recent Orlando shooting at Pulse Nightclub — unlike other applaud worthy celebs like Demi Lovato!

Not only that, but the fan specifically called out Nicki for using Twitter to promote her new song while NOT commenting on the tragic events that left 50 people dead.
It all started when Twitter user @jxhnnybxrrios tweeted out:
I’m kind of offended that Nicki could tweet about a song but can’t acknowledge the shootings in Orlando. :////

He continued by prodding the rapper saying:
.@NICKIMINAJ you plan on tweeting about the tragedies that took place this past weekend orrrrrr?
— johnny (@jxhnnybxrrios) June 15, 2016
Well apparently it didn’t take long for the 33-year-old to react to the tweet by blocking @jxhnnybxrrios!

Of course the social media user made sure his followers knew by sharing:
LMFAOOOO NICKI UNFOLLOWED ME FOR MY TWEETS.
— johnny (@jxhnnybxrrios) June 15, 2016
He even proved it by sharing pics:

Well other Nicki fans took notice and shared their own opinions on the matter, pointing out how ridiculous it is for her not to acknowledge the tregedy when so much of the artist’s fanbase is gay.

Some of the hate included things like:
Nicki Minaj has addressed the Orlando shooting the same number of times she has given an acceptance speech for a Grammy.

I love love love Nicki Minaj, but how do you have a huge gay fan base and not acknowledge Orlando? And instead promote a new song…

My thing is, Nicki Minaj can run to social media and tweet and comment on everything else but not on the tragedies in Orlando?
— Daddy (@drefamous) June 16, 2016
It’s funny how @NICKIMINAJ pretends to be an activist for everything yet has failed to mention the Orlando Tragedy even once.

Nicki Minaj was more vocal about not getting nominated for a VMA than about the Orlando shooting smh

Nicki Minaj hasn’t said anything about the victims of the Orlando shooting. How is it that she still has such a large queer following?
— Fabian. (@warpedrhythm) June 15, 2016
I’m bothered by the fact you haven’t said anything about the Orlando shooting, @NICKIMINAJ esp when such a huge part of your fans are gay ├░┼╕┬ñΓÇ¥
— Annie (@banannnie_) June 16, 2016
A simple RIP Orlando victims tweet ain’t hard. Nicki Minaj spoke during other tragedies so why not this one??
— Charm Badu (@CharmsInterlude) June 16, 2016
. @NICKIMINAJ would not have a career if it wasn’t for the LGBT community, yet she can’t be bothered to mention Orlando when we need support
— Rotten Fruit (@RottenFru1t) June 16, 2016
Interesting that the majority of @NICKIMINAJ fan base are gay men yet she has been MIA about Orlando.. But is quick to clap back and block ☕
— Adrian Lopez (@julior726) June 15, 2016
Woof!
Well we know we’d love it if Nicki decided to use her celeb power for a greater good, but then again, some people just have different priorities, like voicing your frustration over VMA nominations. LOLz!
What do you think of the whole Twitter block sitch?
