Nicki Minaj is in serious trouble with her fans after a video of her surfaced online over the weekend which showed her, in her fairy princess Halloween costume, commanding a person in a wheelchair to “walk.”
In the video, Minaj points her wand at the person and commands them to walk, and she posted to odd clip to her Instagram.
But her followers were not amused.
“I guess it’s kool to make fun at disable people Smh,” said one commenter.
“God will do with her when it is time,” wrote another.
But Minaj has since explained that the person in the video is not actually disabled.
“That’s NOT a disabled person,” she wrote. She added, “That’s my friend in a scooter.”
Still, some of Minaj’s fans say that doesn’t let her off the hook. “Who cares if the person can walk or not. She still said something ignorant,” said one commenter, who then added, “Why do people blindly defend their idols stupidity? Meanwhile shes crying about a Cosby costume.”
That comment was in reference to a picture of a Halloween costume that Minaj had posted online earlier, saying “Our generation is so desensitized.” The costume was of Bill Cosby, carrying a blonde woman who appeared to be unconscious with a drink in her hand.
