Nicki Minaj Speaks Against The Violence On Basketball Wives!!!

You’d never think a celebrity of NICKI MINAJ‘s caliber would watch a show like Basketball Wives, let alone tweet about it. But the female emcee wasn’t at all reluctant to share her thoughts on the bullying displayed by TAMI ROMAN on last night’s episode.

NICKI tweeted to her 11 million followers, “So disturbed by this episode. #SadShe then went on to retweet a blog post by cast member KESHA NICHOLS on the topic of bullying. KESHA later tweeted her appreciation to the superstar, saying “Thank u so much for retweeting my blog to ur followers. Means the world to me.”

As the recipient of bullying, KESHA having a NICKI MINAJ endorsement on her side speaks volumes to how last night’s episode was received by fans. Viewers of the show flooded their timelines expressing disgust and shame at the bullying portrayed by TAMI during the Tahiti trip.

As a result, TAMI expressed remorse, tweeting “I just landed in NYC, but I did catch 2nites episode on the plane. As I said earlier, this was BAD, wrong & immature-I apologize. I’m not proud of my behavior, but I own up to it and face it. I do apologize 2 my family, my friends, my kids & 2 my cast members”

Sounds like the apology is too little, too late. We smell a Basketball Wives cancellation in 5,4,3,2…

    all these women’s boo hoos are soo fake… no one felt bad last season when they went HAM on Meeka. And Meeka got mushed HARD in the head or the year before that the trip target was Royce. only difference is that Kesha did not say a word back and looked at Tami like the nut she is. Evelyne please, how you start crying after helping Tami get into Kesha’s phone. plus you did the same thing to Jen. Susie, i dont buy your sympathy bc you love hyping wacko Tami, buy buzzing in her ear (you did it last year too).. and last but not least Shaunie, you cashing checks off these women acting like fools, so i doubt you really feel bad.. when check stop being cut, being human becomes popular.

    Last I checked, freedom of speech is our birth given right here in the states.  Tami’s and her posy’s ambush on Kesha is, undoubtedly, confirmation of cowardice on part of the pack.  Damage control is the only factor for the insincere apology by Tami and political mambo jumbo from Shaunie way after the attack.
     
    Susie is a mole who extracts info from the girls outside the circle to feed it back to the hyenas (ev, shawnie, tami).  Since none of those four have a life they need to fuel their boredom with the fire of the other three women’s lives.  (I don’t see Jen as a victim because last season she was in the thick of it all and did nothing when Royce or Meeka were attacked, to site two of many over time.)
     
    The show has lost his entertainment value completely when they allowed the crime perpetuated against Kesha to go on.
     
    The only reason tami returned the purse was after she realized if the police got involved they would probably determine she is a wanted criminal already for similar unprovoked assaults on defenseless girls.  As for her so called heart attach I would not doubt it was staged.  She would do anything for attention.

    The B.S. that happened on B.W. was totally un-called for becuase Tami takes the situation out of porportion. I dont know why Shaunie, Evelyn and Suzie sat there anbd not say anything when Kesha was getting ambushed by Tami when they started having the conversation. I do NOT like that Tami took Kesha’s purse, shades and phone. The only reason why i think Tami gave the purse back (after her main snitch reported to her) was becuase she dont want to get put in jail overseas and she knows that over there is very rough than jail in America. She started to get fear in her face when she went back to Kesha’s room and gave her her purse back. If only Kesha knew what kind of person Suzie is i wouldn’t be by anyone’s side except Royce, Jennifer, and Kenya’s side.

    Sit down somewhere diamondwoods. Weak? How about class? You stand alone.

  • Tomecaf

    I do feel that if you feel like you couldve wouldve said it then there in front of me was your chance that way we could get everything out in the open and there wouldnt be any he said she said.I feel were tami was coming from its not about being weak its about coming to me and telling me how you feel about me.Its about being a woman about yours so that we can agree to disagree and keep it moving once we have said what all needs to be said.

  • Tomecaf

    This is t.v. people really get over it.

  • Samora Abdul

    Tami was wrong, Eveyln need to be put off the show also, for the things she did to Jen, they sat Jen up, by her Evelyn assistant to smack her, and she keep saying she is coming for her, Tami, Jen, Evelyn and Shaunie old asses need to stop the fake shit and keep sending Suzie out to to get info, Suzie a dame full, she scared to, that they going jump her.

  • GUEST

    And judging from your blatant grammatical errors, you’re just as ignorant as tami is. SMDH….GROW THE HELL UP!

    Nicki Minaj needs to get somewhere and sit down herself!

    The show needs to be cancelled.  The damage is done.  Tami is a mean woman who is a bully with issues, Evelyn is a bully with issues and need to learn how to act like a civilized lady at all times and Shaunie is killing me with her come to Christ moment now that what she has allowed all this money making drama to unfold.  This show  has many people very upset and wondering why she did not stop this train wreck.  Suzie should understand The other girls being bullied pain due to it not being too long ago she was very close on many situations of feeling the violent wrath of Tami and Evelyn. Above all none of these women are basketball wives or never was.  If this show continues please find real NBA wives who are married to NBA players who have loving relationships, work, raise money for charity, go to church, worship God, love their children, have political insight, care for their friends, and are sophisticated and respected.  The other alternative is to re- name the show crazy women who bully and have issues.

    I think the show should show how you can overcome a bump like this…everybody gets rowdy here and there, but I think it’ll be a good example to everybody of how to bounce back and be a good example..as long as they are willing to do it
