Nicki Minaj was the victim of a swatting prank falsely claiming a child was being abused and another claiming her house was on fire.
Swatting is the process of making a prank call to the police in an attempt to have them dispatch the swat team to an address. It wastes taxpayer money, causes mass confusion, and sometimes can even be deadly. Earlier this month Nicki Minaj was the victim of a swatting while minding her business in her Los Angeles home. Reportedly a call came into child services alleging child abuse was happening at Nicki’s house.
According to TMZ, Deputies took the call seriously and arrived at Nicki’s house spoke to her and her husband, and determined there was no abuse. Reportedly another false call came in that night alleging that her house was on fire. That call was also a waste of time as there was no fire. Luckily Nicki nor anyone else was harmed. These calls have to be annoying for Nicki who is busy finishing her next album which she announced will arrive this October. With the date released, she’s now on a strict deadline and needs every minute to perfect her new LP.
