Piers Morgan on Nicki Minaj

THE DAILY MAIL — BY PIERS MORGAN

“Superstar rapper Nicki Minaj once worked at a Red Lobster restaurant in the Bronx. She was fired for ‘discourtesy to customers’. This followed a familiar behavioural pattern. By her own admission, Minaj was fired from ‘at least fifteen jobs’ for similar reasons. That’s a LOT of jobs and a LOT of discourtesy.”

When he called her ‘stroppy’ for dissing his sons.

“I experienced at first hand what a stroppy little piece of work she could be when she appeared as a guest act on ‘America’s Got Talent’ when I was still a judge on the show. My three sons, aged 16, 13 and 9 at the time, were keen to get a photo with her backstage. I approached her dressing room, where she was lounging and yawning on a couch, and made the polite request. Back came the message: ‘No.’ … My audience with her goons was over and I had to break the news to my sons that ‘Ms Minaj’ was too busy doing nothing to grant them a second of her precious time. She proceeded to scowl her way through her entire time with ‘AGT,’ on stage and off.”
