Wendy Williams squeezed in a dig at Nicki Minaj on her Wednesday morning show after she congratulated Safaree Samuels and Erica Mena on the recent birth of their baby girl. ā€œNicki Minaj is probably some place trying to one up them by getting pregnant as I speak,ā€ the talk show host, 55, said about the ā€œPink Printā€ rapper. Nicki and Safaree dated for over a decade before they split in 2014.

After Wendyā€™s comment, viewers in the audience oohed with surprise ā€” a clear indication of the hostā€™s recent feuding history with Nicki. As for Wendyā€™s reaction? ā€” ā€œNicki is married to a man named Kenneth Petty, which makes Nicki, Mrs. Petty,ā€ she said, adding, ā€œWhat? Thatā€™s all.ā€

Back in October, Nicki married her teenage sweetheart, Kenneth Petty, who has a known criminal background. While covering their relationship on her show, Wendy seemed to hone in on Pettyā€™s dark past, having noted numerous times on her show that he is a registered sex offender, among other things. After remaining quiet throughout the numerous attacks against Petty, Nicki finally addressed Wendyā€™s comments in a lengthy rant on her Queen Radio show last November.

ā€œItā€™s not about doing your job,ā€ Nicki about Wendy, whoā€™s known for saying ā€œIā€™m just doing my job,ā€ when covering celebrity headlines on her show.

ā€œThere are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know youā€™re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated,ā€ Nicki continued. Elsewhere in her rant, the rapper took a few shots at Wendy about her April 2019 divorce with Kevin Hunter Sr., who secretly fathered a child with his mistress.

Anyway, weā€™d like send a big congratulations to Safaree and Erica, who welcomed a healthy baby girl over Super Bowl weekend. Safaree confirmed the news in a post on Instagram on February 4.

ā€œThese past 24 hrs have been an adventure to say the least!! Iā€™m a part of the #girldad club now,ā€ he captioned a photo of his daughter holding his finger.  \ ā€œPerfection is here [heart emoji] #safaree.ā€

This is Safareeā€™s first child, and Ericaā€™s second. The couple said ā€œI doā€ at the lavish Legacy Castle in New Jersey on October 7, 2019.
