The next time one of Nicki Minaj’s photos appears on your Instagram feed, click to view all the comments and scroll through a few pages. Scattered among the instances of “QUEEN” and “nicki i luv u come to iran,” you’ll find plenty of haters saying things like, “ew,” “u look like a ugly horse,” and “u r fat.”
Most celebrities ignore their trolls completely, but not Minaj. Early Sunday morning, she announced her plans to clap back:
Though the posts she mentions have since been deleted, The Shade Room was kind enough to grab a few screenshots:

Say a prayer and light a dozen candles, because it looks like we won’t be getting a Lindsey Lohan tell-all book any time soon. A source tells Page Six: “Lindsay has had numerous offers to do a tell-all book about her time in rehab, her brushes with the law, her crazy family, or to lift the lid on the less glamorous side of a Hollywood starlet. But she refused those offers, and she’s working on something related to style and fashion and her travels, an educational book.”
Do what you want, Lindsay, but I would have considered a tell-all from you to be highly educational.

I’m not sure how I feel about the whole Nicki thing. I mean, I actually really like her and on one hand I can understanding finally getting fed up with nameless, faceless assholes trolling you online when you really just want to connect with your fans. On the other hand, that’s a lot of firepower to level at one person. It’s like using a rocket launcher against someone who fired a bb gun at you.
I don’t know...
