Nicki Minaj once again fell victim to a swatting prank this week, with police responding to a false shooting claim at her Hidden Hills property.
This incident marks the second time in two years that the rapper has been targeted in this way.
Despite the urgency of the call, law enforcement arrived to find no one home and no evidence of any altercation.
The caller deliberately contacted the sheriff’s business line instead of 911, adding a suspicious element to the situation.
Despite showing up at the home, it was clear to law enforcement that the call was, in fact, a prank. One that Minaj had been dealing with for years at this point.
Back in 2023, Nicki Minaj was hit with this same tired prank TWICE, starting in June of that year when someone called child services, claiming her son, Papa Bear, was being abused. Police showed up and spoke with Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, before checking on the then-three-year-old. They ruled out any abuse and called the incident yet another hoax.
Following the incident, Minaj managed to find out who was behind the prank call and publicly addressed the matter on X (formerly known as Twitter), claiming she was filing an arrest warrant against the person.
“To the woman who made those swatting calls to my home… #WasItWorthItDumbo,” she tweeted out, per Complex.
She proceeded with another tweet mentioning the person’s name and added, “A warrant is in the system. Great detective work. So grateful. The DA filed one count for the swatting call and one for the false report to DCFS. To God be the glory.”
So far, Nicki Minaj has not responded to the prank call.
