A Timeline of the Barbz Doxxing Others on Nicki Minaj's Behalf

Feb. 2 2024, Published 5:38 p.m. ET

In January 2024, Nicki Minaj one-sidedly entered an internet warfare between herself and Megan Thee Stallion. The drama between the rappers started when Megan launched her single, "Hiss," which she mentioned used to be a response to the destructive comments spewing about her through the years. Meg by no means addressed Nicki, though the Texas native's Megan's Law diss — a law that calls for sex offenders' knowledge to be public — didn't take a seat neatly with hip-hop's Barbie.

Nicki has replied to Megan's perceived attack on her circle of relatives by means of dragging her on social media and in her monitor, a dig at Megan being shot within the foot through Tory Lanez. What's more, Nicki's dependable lovers, affectionately known as the "Barbz," have stepped into the very public team chat.

Since "Hiss'" free up, the Barbz have long past so far as to look Nicki's critics' names, jobs, and other personal knowledge for malicious intent, otherwise referred to as doxxing.

However, the Barbz are reputedly unfazed by way of the legal ramifications of doxxing, as this isn’t the primary (and most probably now not the final) time they have got doxxed other people on behalf of their Queen. Let’s discover the Barbz’s doxxing history and why many really feel they have got long past too far.

In 2018, the Barbz doxxed two of Nicki's critics after she addressed them on Twitter.

We're still figuring out precisely when the Barbz felt comfy sufficient to doxx one's knowledge on Nicki's behalf. However, in 2018, two circumstances between the fandom and Nicki's critics confirmed what they might do.

In 2018, Wanna Thompson, a Toronto-based creator and writer of her blog, Wanna’s World, tweeted her opinion about Nicki's album, Queen. Wanna shared on Twitter that she wished Nicki would change and create more "mature content" to mirror her age.

According to Mic's document of the drama, Nicki become furious at Wanna's tweet and spoke back to it by means of calling her a "hating a-- hoe." Following Nicki's tweet, Wanna shared several destructive tweets she received from the Barbz, with one calling her a "guttersnipe" and insulting her darkish pores and skin color. As Wanna continued sharing what Nicki's lovers were saying, many social media customers jumped to her protection, sparking the hashtag #IStandWithWanna."

Another critic of Nicki's, Jerome Trammel, received the Barbz doxxing treatment after publicly shaming Nicki for her insulting comments to Elle magazine about sex workers. After Nicki responded to Jerome's tweet calling her "hypocritical," Nicki's fans found Jerome's old work address and called the company threatening to kill him. He also shared that the fans saw his family and friends' info through his tagged photos and searched online for social media jobs to convince the companies not to hire Jerome for a job.

In 2021, the Barbz attacked the woman who Nicki’s husband, Kenneth Petty allegedly sexually assaulted.

In September 2021, the Barbz doxxed Jennifer Hough after her appearance on The Real. On the show, Jennifer shared her recount of being sexually assaulted at 16 by Nicki's husband, Kenneth Petty. During the interview, Jennifer debunked Nicki's claims that she and Kenny were in a relationship when he was arrested for raping her in 1994. Jennifer also said Nicki and Kenny tried to bribe her with money to keep quiet.

Jennifer's attorney told TMZ that, after the interview, the Barbz harassed her online, calling her a "clout chaser" and other unsavory remarks. The fans also shared Jennifer's contact information, forcing her to sue Nicki and Kenny in August 2021, though the case was later dropped.

The Barbz quickly began doxxing journalists who questioned Nicki’s comments about the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021.

The Barbz' doxxing skills have no bounds, as was proven in another incident involving Nicki in September 2021. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nicki tweeted an anecdote about how her cousin's friend received the vaccine in Trinidad and claimed his testicles were swollen due to the vaccine.

"His testicles turned into swollen," she stated in the tweet, consistent with Business Insider. "His friend used to be weeks clear of getting married, and now the woman referred to as off the marriage."

Nicki's tweet soon went viral, with many critics poking fun at her misinformed tweet. Several journalists, including Trinidadian reporter Sharlene Rampersad and James Fielding, a senior reporter at the Daily Mail, attempted to contact Nicki's cousins to get information about the "swollen balls" incident. Nicki caught wind of the contact attempts and shared screenshots of Sharlene's conversations with her cousins, tweeting to the reporter, "B----YOUR DAYS ARE F-----G NUMBERED YOU DIRTY H--."

Sharlene soon received death threats from the Barbz due to Nicki sharing her information. The threats and attacks became so severe that Sharlene's employer, Guardian Media in Trinidad, released a statement encouraging others to "get up" against the doxxing. James received similar treatment from the Barbz after Nicki shared his business card on Twitter.

Another critic, Kimberly Foster, created a GoFundMe account after being doxxed by the Barbz in 2022.

In 2022, Barbz doxxed YouTuber Kimberly Nicole Foster for her online criticism after tweeting, "Nicki is so clearly a terrible person. Negativity sticks to her like glue. Idk if we’ve ever observed this ahead of." The comment sparked a war between Kimberly and the Barbz which included the fandom threatening to rape and kill Kimberly and sharing her personal information. In an interview with The Daily Beast about the attacks, Kimberly accused the Barbz of threatening to come to her nieces' school and attack them as "collateral damage."

Kimberly eventually took legal action against the Barbz by filing a local police report and tipping the FBI about the doxxing. She also launched a GoFundMe, where she earned $3,836.

Many believe Nicki Minaj and her Barbz have gone too far with doxxing following Megan's 2024 track, “Hiss.”

Though the Barbz have become familiar with doxxing anyone who comes in Nicki's way, the 2024 attacks on her critics have taken the cake. Those who have critiqued Nicki's handling of Megan's diss track, "Hiss," which has included jabs about Megan's shooting, the deaths of her parents, and her sex life, have become targets for her fans' doxxing methods.

One critic, Bela Delgado, who goes by @belatown on TikTok, said he was doxxed after his fiery rant against Nicki went viral on the app. Bela said the Barbz sent his relatives and loved ones threatening messages, causing him to release another TikTok apologizing to Nicki and the Barbz. However, the doxxing became more sinister after Megan's mother's gravesite got into the mix.

On Jan. 30, 2024, the Barbz reportedly doxxed the site where Megan buried her mom, Holly Thomas. Several Barbz posted Holly's grave's location online, encouraging others to desecrate her grave to avenge Nicki. Thankfully, according to , the grave was marked safe, and local authorities and security personnel were contacted to keep extra eyes on the site.

As Megan remains silent about the ordeal, the Barbz naysayers beg the fandom to calm down. Nicki herself, however, seemingly doesn't want their doxxing to end anytime soon.
