Nicki Minaj Gets Congressional Support After Alleged Threat From TDE Affiliate

Nicki Minaj called out alleged threats and RICO-level corruption in Hip-Hop and got a swift response from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who pledged to involve law enforcement and ensure her safety.
The rapper took to social media on Friday (July 18) after a livestream comment from Top Dawg Entertainment affiliate DJ MackWop. Minaj interpreted the remark as a threat and demanded federal scrutiny into what she described as "shady business" in the music industry.
Luna, a staunch conservative and vocal Trump supporter, didn't hesitate. She responded directly to Minaj on X (Twitter_, writing, "Please text my cell, I will forward this to law enforcement immediately. Threats of violence and assassination should be taken very seriously. Hope you're ok, we'll talk soon @nickiminaj."
The two spoke privately, and Luna later confirmed their conversation publicly, saying she would do everything in her power to protect Minaj. She also addressed the broader allegations of criminal activity in the rap world.
"We take threats of violence and assassination very seriously," Luna added. "RICO is also illegal. I am deeply concerned that there has been unchecked corruption within certain aspects of the rap industry. Artists should be respected and not afraid of managers, labels, etc."
Minaj replied with gratitude, tweeting, "Thank you for your time & attention to these matters as it relates to these thugs."
Social media reaction was divided. Some users applauded Minaj for speaking up and involving authorities, while others compared her to Azealia Banks, suggesting she was spiraling into conspiratorial internet drama.
Nicki Minaj Announces She's Snitching Over Livestream Remarks
The controversy stems from a livestream where DJ MackWop made a vague comment that Nicki Minaj perceived as threatening.
She didn't hold back, connecting the moment to a larger pattern of intimidation and misconduct in the industry - and calling for a federal investigation amid her rants about JAY-Z and Roc Nation.
"It's SNITCHING TIME," she wrote after calling on authorities to act.
