A lot of celebrities have been going crazy over losing their blue checkmarks or ticks on Twitter, which Elon Musk is doing to get more people to pay for verification. Nicki Minaj, however, isn’t phased when it comes to losing her Twitter verification. Moreover, she actually responded to a fan teasing her about in on the social media platform. “@NICKIMINAJ get the verification badge I keep thinking you’re a troll account,” they wrote. “I am,” she clapped back with a GIF of Dr. Evil laughing maniacally. In addition, a lot of fans noticed that Cardi B didn’t lose her verification.
Furthermore, Elon Musk said that he’s personally paying for a few celebrities to keep their verification without paying. These include LeBron James, Stephen King, and William Shatner, although he didn’t mention the “WAP” star. As such, it’s unclear whether Cardi B is paying for verification or if the tech just hasn’t caught up to her account. Not only that, but TMZ reported that celebrities like The Weeknd and Taylor Swift are paying for their verification.
Nicki Minaj Responds, Doesn’t Mention Cardi B Keeping Twitter Verification
Of course, the difference between Nicki Minaj and Cardi’s Twitter accounts is notable because of their beef. Still, at least Nicki didn’t make too much of a fuss about it. For example, The Game was one of many artists to blast this new move from Musk as a blatant attempt to give the illusion of authenticity for money. “If you bought your verification and I know you personally, delete my number,” the rapper posted on his Instagram Story. “It tells me everything I need to know about you. You a broke cheater- we are not the same.”
Meanwhile, other stars gave similarly cheeky answers to Nicki Minaj’s, but still contained some shade. Doja Cat reacted with trademark sass on Twitter, which is just one example of this phenomenon. “Having a blue tick now means theres a higher chance that you’re a complete loser and that you’re desperate for validation from famous people,” she tweeted. While Cardi hasn’t said anything about keeping her verification, this is sure to send her fanbase into war with Nicki’s.
