The stars seem to be horribly aligned for rapper Nicki Minaj as she has been facing one trouble after another recently. Minaj made headlines a few weeks back for getting arrested for possession of drugs in Amsterdam. The arrest also led to the cancellation of her show, for which she issued a heartfelt apology to her fans.
But the troubles do not seem to have ended there for Minaj. The rapper has yet again sparked a frenzy with a recent cryptic post, where she indicated being single. While fans were already worried about the singer undergoing marital issues, another distressing video on her Instagram story has intensified the concerns. Here’s what’s happening.

“I Pray She’s Doing Ok”: Fans Flood Social Media With Concerns For Nicki Minaj
Seeing a clearly emotional Minaj, her fans are deeply worried. Social media is trending with the hashtag “#WeLoveYouNicki” on X, with several users expressing their concerns for the rapper.
“Just saw Nicki’s IG story and now I’m worried and I don’t even know what’s up with her,” a user on X wrote. Another fan hoped for her well-being, stating, “I honestly hope she’s okay.”
A third user chimed in, stating, “I’m so worried about Nicki, I pray she’s doing ok and finds the strength to guide her through whatever it is she’s going through right now. She’ll forever have my support and love.”
The concerns also have a subtext of Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty’s relationship, which has been under public scrutiny since their marriage in 2019. The couple dated briefly as teenagers, and then reconnected in 2018.
Though they are married with a child, Petty’s criminal history has been a point of contention for Minaj;’s fans. He was convicted of attempted rape in 1995, resulting in a four-year prison sentence, and later served seven years for first-degree murder related to a 2002 shooting. He was further sentenced to house arrest and probation in 2022 for failing to register as a sex offender in California. Despite the controversies, Minaj has consistently defended her husband.
