Nicki Minaj became the No. 1 Twitter Trending Topic on Monday evening (Aug.1) after an account claiming to be the NYC rapper’s former assistant began spilling tea and spreading rumors about the “Do We Have A Problem?” hitmaker.  

The “Kate Miller” Instagram account, which has since been taken down, made numerous allegations about Nicki Minaj. “I am Onika’s ex-assistant who she fired for absolutely no proof of fraud with her bank account,” one post read. “I’m exposing all files I have from working for her. Along with the voice messages she sent me regarding many different people.” 

Among the almost 50 posts were allegations that Nicki Minaj owes $173M in unpaid taxes to the IRS and claims that she paid to boost her upcoming “Freaky Girl” single in the charts. The account owner also claimed to reveal Nicki’s son’s name, despite the rapper and her husband’s decision to keep the name private.
