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. āNicki 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 āPink Printā rapper. Nicki and Safaree dated for over a decade before they split in 2014.
After Wendyās comment, viewers in the audience oohed with surprise ā a clear indication of the hostās recent feuding history with Nicki. As for Wendyās reaction? ā āNicki is married to a man named Kenneth Petty, which makes Nicki, Mrs. Petty,ā she said, adding, āWhat? Thatās 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 Pettyās 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 Wendyās comments in a lengthy rant on her Queen Radio show last November.

āItās not about doing your job,ā Nicki about Wendy, whoās known for saying āIām just doing my job,ā when covering celebrity headlines on her show.
āThere 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 youāre 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, weād 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.
āThese past 24 hrs have been an adventure to say the least!! Iām a part of the #girldad club now,ā he captioned a photo of his daughter holding his finger. \ āPerfection is here [heart emoji] #safaree.ā
This is Safareeās first child, and Ericaās second. The couple said āI doā at the lavish Legacy Castle in New Jersey on October 7, 2019.
