Rah Ali is breaking her silence on the fractured friendship with Rah Ali and Nicki Minaj, claiming the rapper has made it her mission to destroy her.
The Love & Hip Hop: New York star took to Instagram to lay out her version of events. “Nicki Minaj and I were friends for well over a decade,” she said. “We met around 2016, and in that time frame, I have been loyal, I have been honest, I have been trustworthy. I have not done anything at all to her.”
But there’s a limit, she explained. “However, there comes a point where you have to say enough is enough. That’s where I am. I’m not gonna sit back and allow someone to intentionally try to destroy me, simply because I won’t allow them to be a puppet master.”
The two have been at odds for nearly a year, though the exact catalyst remained unclear until now. The tension seemingly escalated when Nicki reported unauthorized charges on her Amex card in October 2025, claiming three different people had used it fraudulently within two months.
Nicki never explicitly named Rah in her accusations. But weeks later, Rah posted an open letter addressing the situation directly. “You’ve empowered and given license to others to spread deplorable lies about me, smearing my character and throwing away the friendship,” she wrote. “To be lied on by someone you don’t know is one thing; for it to come from you is unimaginable. You have put me and so many people who care for you and have rooted for you at risk.”
She pressed further: “If any of these allegations were true, we’d be having a very different conversation, wouldn’t we? Show the evidence or apologize instead of sensationalizing headlines.”
The drama between these two has a complicated history. Rah has had her own public feuds with Nicki’s rival Cardi B over the years, including a speaker-throwing incident and a 2018 New York Fashion Week altercation that drew significant media attention.
