People Doxxed by Nicki Minaj Stans Speak Out, Explore Legal Options
Individuals who criticized Nicki Minaj last month amid her feud with Megan Thee Stallion say they’re exploring legal options after they were doxxed online.
According to an article published by Time, several individuals who spoke out in response to Minaj’s diss track “Big Foot” say they were doxxed by Minaj’s fanbase, known as the Barbz, in retaliation.
Per the Atlantic, “doxxing” is a term that refers to the uncovering and deliberate weaponization of private and personal information.
Now, the victims are reportedly looking for ways to legally defend themselves by gathering as many details as possible about the people who shared their personal details online.
Erick Louis, a creator on TikTok, told Time that a day after uploading a video criticizing Minaj’s “Big Foot” track, he got a call from his brother saying that a pizza that no one ordered has been delivered to him. Suddenly, Louis’ phone was blowing up with numerous phone calls by unknown numbers.
“My phone starts blowing up with text messages, and I’m getting FaceTime calls back to back to back,” said Louis, 24. “It was a hectic situation to be in. I was nervous and on edge the whole time.”
“My heart dropped to my stomach,” added Louis. “I was thinking of the various ways it could have escalated and how this not only endangered my life had I been there but also the lives of my mother and my two younger brothers who were in the house. These are people I’m responsible for.”
A former Minaj fan, Bela Delgado, told the magazine that they once ran fan accounts for the rapper in 2017.
“Once she started associating herself with certain people, I couldn’t really defend her anymore,” said Delgado, referring to people like Tekashi 6ix9ine, who pled guilty to using a minor for a sexual performance.
Delgado uploaded, and later deleted, a two-minute video response about being disappointed in Minaj following the release of “Big Foot.” It didn’t take long for the harassment to come towards them and their family members.
