Real Housewives of Potomac: Nicki Minaj comes for Ashley Darby as she takes over RHOP reunion
Nicki Minaj spared no feelings as she made her debut on the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion.
Bosses have teased viewers with snippets of the Super Bass rapper interrogating RHOP icons Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger and co for the last few weeks, but she finally appeared on screen at the end of part three.
And the 38-year-old absolutely didn’t hold back, blasting Ashley Darby over her bombshell on the cast trip at the beginning of season six.
Y’know, when the new mum arrived late to Williamsburg, pulled Wendy Osefo aside to ask if she’d heard rumors that husband Eddie had cheated, and then skipped back out to return to Potomac…
Replacing host Andy Cohen, who left the stage armed with tequila, she laughed: ‘I cannot believe Andy’s letting me do this! Tonight, I am Andiana Minaj.
‘Now, before we start, y’all, I want to tell you, I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t love and respect you, okay? I love the show.

‘So, even though I have a job to do, asking you questions, you should just have fun with it. Because these are questions courtesy of me and the Barbz.’
Directing her questioning towards Ashley, she began: ‘First of all I want to say I love seeing you with your boys. But to me, because you had just had a baby and you wanted to be home, rightfully so, with your babies, it seemed like you didn’t have much of a storyline.
‘So is that why you were willing to be Gizelle’s sidekick and be shady to Wendy?’
Ashley attempted to defend herself before the Grammy-winner continued: ‘You ain’t lug your breast milk down there to start some drama, to be petty, so you can get more camera time?

‘Are you going to dispute that?’
Nicki’s line of questioning managed to do the unthinkable as Candiace – who has been feuding with Ashley for years – leapt in to back her co-star, stating: ‘Can I just say, she gave birth literally like two weeks into filming.’
‘She should’ve stayed home,’ Nicki replied, as the budding singer added: ‘But she got work, we got work!’
The credits then rolled with a teaser showing the rapper tearing into the rest of the cast over the drama of the season, which will air next week.
But who will come out unscathed?
While there was initially upset over Nicki getting a seat at the reunion – which comes off the back of her bizarre coronavirus tweets, her comments towards Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock and legal woes concerning husband Kenneth Petty – viewers were living for her appearance.
Flocking to Twitter to discuss the savage scenes, a fan said: ‘Nicki dragging Ashley, saying she has no storyline and is Gizelle’s minion #RHOP #RHOPReunion.’
‘Nicki ain’t waste no time getting into some thangs chile! #RHOP [sic],’ another agreed.

‘Nicki Minaj eating Ashley up within 2 minutes of meeting her is the Real Housewives equivalent of a dream come true. #RHOP,’ one penned.
A Twitter user said: ‘Nicki hasn’t even been on the screen for 2 minutes and she already stirring pots, I LOVE IT. Those women better keep it cute too… I will be turned in next week #RHOP #NickionRHOP.’
A hard same.
