Ruby Rose, who has largely stayed out of Minaj\u2019s orbit for over a decade, decided to break her silence following a week of heightened political and social tension surrounding the rapper, adding her voice to a growing chorus of former collaborators and industry peers who claim the “Queen of Rap” is anything but a dream to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n The catalyst for this sudden spill of behind-the-scenes tea was Minaj\u2019s recent, highly controversial digital dust-up with journalist<\/span> Don Lemon<\/span><\/a>. After Lemon provided coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church (an event that has become a flashpoint in the current political climate), Minaj took to social media with a scorched-earth response. <\/span><\/p>\n The rapper, who has increasingly aligned herself with conservative <\/span>“MAGA”<\/span><\/a> rhetoric in recent months, lambasted Lemon for his reporting. However, it wasn’t just the political disagreement that caught the internet’s attention; it was the tone. When a Threads user shared a screenshot of an alleged anti-gay slur directed at Lemon by Minaj, Ruby Rose, who identifies as a <\/span>lesbian and gender-fluid<\/span><\/a>, saw an opening to share her own history with the star. <\/span><\/p>\n “I toured with Nicki Minaj,” Rose wrote, setting the stage for a story that quickly went viral. “Her ego is so outsized she HAD to fire someone after every show. Publicly, because she is 3 ft maga.”<\/span><\/p>\n![\"Ruby](\"https:\/\/wealthofgeeks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/photo_2026-01-23_10-29-59.jpg\" "\\"actor\\"")
