Nicki Minaj reacts to Twitter’s new rules as Musk instituted some strict new restrictions on his personal Twitter account. The restriction primarily affects verified accounts and includes limiting them to reading only 600 tweets per day or less.
It’s part of an effort to get more people on the company’s paid subscription service, Twitter Blue. Many celebrities reacted to the move with humor and sadness. One of the most notable reactions comes from rapper Nicki Minaj. This is not good.

In a tweet, the “Monster” singer posted a meme from Dexter’s Laboratory expressing her sadness about her old blue check mark disappearing. She’s been using her blue check to show support for fellow musicians on Twitter since 2021. The change was made in an attempt to push more people to subscribe to Twitter Blue, which starts at $8 a month.
The singer also shared a screenshot of an interaction she had with a fan about the new restrictions. The fan expressed concern about the effect the changes would have on their relationship with artists and brands. They also questioned the effectiveness of the new limits.
Minaj has been a vocal critic of the social media platform in the past, but this latest move was more than she could take. She responded to the backlash with a series of tweets that began with her saying, “Sorry to hear that some people’s experience with Twitter is getting worse.” She followed up by listing some of the issues she has with the site.
This Is Not Good
She also emphasized how important her fans have been to her success. The fans are the reason she has been able to keep creating and releasing music for so long. Minaj continued the tweet with, “Thank you so much for your love and support — it’s what keeps me going!”
In addition to her musical career, Minaj has ventured into acting, lent her voice to several animated movies, including Ice Age: Continental Drift and Barbershop: The Next Cut, and fronted numerous advertising campaigns. She has her own line of MAC cosmetics and is a shareholder in the Tidal streaming service.
Nicki Minaj was born Onika Maraj in Trinidad and Tobago and moved to Queens, New York City, at the age of five. She was able to create fantasies that helped her escape from her troubled childhood.
She’s also known for her sexy lyrics and unique style. Throughout her career, she’s collaborated with the likes of Lil Wayne, Drake, 2 Chainz, Beyonce, Cam’ron, and Nas. She’s even featured in Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy fifth album. Minaj’s song, ‘Monster’, in particular, is widely considered to be her most iconic work.
While she’s best known for her high-energy hits, the singer has also released a variety of slower, emotional songs. Her most recent release, Queen, is a perfect example of how versatile the artist is.
