Ruby Rose mistakenly received death threats over Nicki Minaj’s rap feud. In a case of mistaken identity, the Australian actress and TV presenter received messages intended for rapper Rubi Rose.
Rubi Rose had weighed in on an online feud between Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, making a number of defamatory claims about Minaj’s health and body. Rubi Rose’s Instagram post caught the attention of Minaj’s die-hard fans, the Barbz. But it was the other Ruby who bore the brunt of the Barbz’s ire.
“I have a ‘Y’ in my name, not an ‘I’,” Ruby wrote in her own Instagram post, pleading with the Barbz to understand she wanted no part in the drama.“I never thought I’d see the day when I was being flooded with death threats for involvement in a rap beef.”
Ruby Rose added that her personal Instagram posts were more likely to feature puppies than rappers.
“I do not post about rappers on my Close Friends story,” Ruby wrote. “I assure you my Close Friends list is never used for anything but more dog photos. I don’t know much about the inner workings of the rap world, period.”
The ongoing war between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion has captivated fans of the former friends and was sent into overdrive when Megan released “HISS” on January 26. The song features lyrics that many interpreted to be a veiled insult aimed at Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty.
