Nicki Minaj has fired back at accusations she was making fun of a disabled woman in a wheelchair over Halloween weekend while partying at Las Vegas’ 1 Oak.
Minaj posted a video to Instagram, during which she uses the magic wand in her Halloween costume to “command” someone in what appears to be a wheelchair to walk. However, it was just a friend in costume, who is not disabled.
When Perez Hilton reposted the video, accusing her of making fun of the “disabled person,” she hit back. “Lol. That's NOT a disabled person and u know that. Are u that desperate for attention?” she tweeted.
When Hilton asked her, “how was I supposed to know a person in a wheelchair ISN'T disabled?” Minaj replied, “B-tch, u knew. That's my friend in a scooter. Have a great day. I surely will.”
Minaj hosted a Halloween party at 1 Oak on Friday. Also during the weekend, she reposted a Bill Cosby Halloween costume that she disapproved of, writing, "Our generation is so desensitized."
