The internet is in an uproar after Nicki Minaj finally spoke out about what she described as her “long-hidden pain” involving ex Meek Mill and legendary – but controversial – music producer Diddy.
In an emotional Instagram live last night, Nicki revealed that she had “kept quiet for too long,” and that Meek Mill – the rapper she was in a relationship with on and off – had been both mentally and physically abused by Diddy during his time working under him.
“I can’t keep it a secret anymore. I saw what Meek went through… and it wasn’t just control. It was abuse. It was emotional abuse. It was the darkest form of power manipulation in this industry,” Nicki said in the nearly 12-minute live stream, which has since gone viral.
Nicki Is Willing to Testify in Court
Not stopping at revealing the truth, Nicki Minaj announced that she is willing to testify in court if necessary.
“If the government, if the law requires me to testify — I will appear. I will tell the whole truth. Meek is not alone. He should not be silenced by fear anymore.”
This information comes amid Diddy facing a series of sexual assault and violence allegations from many sides, with federal and civil investigations underway.
The relationship between Meek and Diddy: What’s shady?
Although they were once close allies, Diddy and Meek Mill have long shown signs of rift. But no one expected the truth behind it to be this dark.
Nicki confirmed that Meek had repeatedly wanted to withdraw from the relationship with Diddy but was threatened with contracts, finances and “things that no one dares to make public”.
“Meek once told me, ‘If you speak out, you’ll lose everything.’ And he chose to stay silent. But not anymore.”
Community backlash
The hashtags #JusticeForMeek and #NickiSpeaksOut are currently trending #1 on Twitter/X.
Fans have been vocal in their support for Nicki, calling her “a brave woman who stands up to the darkness of the music industry.”
Meanwhile, Diddy has remained strangely silent, not making any official statements about the accusations.
Could this be a turning point in the Diddy investigation?
If Nicki does indeed testify—as someone who was so close to the main characters—the Diddy investigation could enter a whole new phase. And if what she says is true, the “Bad Boy” empire that Diddy has built over decades is on the brink of collapse.
