Unpretty is a tame way to describe the unceremonious roasting TLC star T-Boz received after taking to Instagram to deliver commentary perceived by many as a diss to Rap Queen Nicki Minaj.
Once the backlash reached a feverish pitch, the 51-year-old took to the same platform to clear her name by alleging her account had been hacked.
Details inside:
T (born Tionne Watkins) recently discovered there was a comment from her account left under a Cardi B video shared by our friends at TheJasmineBrand. The remark said “poor Nicki Minaj” – a baffling statement considering the clip had no mention of or reference to the ‘Super Bass’ star.
As criticism drew in, Watkins added another comment saying:
“MY ACCOUNT WAS HACKED IM ON A ZOOM CALL/MEETING SO I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS SAID OR WHATS HAPPENING YET BUT I SAID NOTHING ABOUT @nickiminaj AT ALL.”
Needless to say, Nicki’s fans – affectionately called #Barbz – weren’t buying it.
Their continued commentary against the GRAMMY-winning R&B star prompted her to return to Instagram Sunday (December 5) to issue another statement on the matter.
“ACCOUNT WAS HACKED!! Hey guys my account has been hacked and I never made that comment about Nicki Minaj,” she said. “I have no problem and never have had a problem with her at all that’s not like me to even comment on a blog and be messy so all the blogs and unnecessary comments can stop thank you.”
