AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj has taken aim at her relative, apparently her half-sister Ming Li, for speaking out about their strained relationship in recent interviews. On Monday, August 5, the "Anaconda" rapper went on a tirade during a conversation with fans on Stationhead.

She questioned why an unnamed person would publicly discuss a "private person." She went on to indicate that her comments were about a relative, saying, "Being a mooch and a clown don't run in my DNA."

Despite the apparent shade towards Ming Li, Nicki Minaj also expressed love for her sister. "I still love her," she wrote in a comment on Instagram. "I tried as a sister to please her but I realize I gotta please God first."

Ming Li responded to Minaj's comments on Instagram, saying, "I still love her. I tried as a sister to please her but I realize I gotta please God first."

According to Ming Li, she and Nicki Minaj have never been close due to the rapper's busy schedule. However, she maintains that they have a good bond and she respects her sister's talent.

The Grammy-nominated rapper's comments follow Ming Li's recent interview on the "We In Miami" podcast, where she revealed that she was bullied as a child over her family connection to Nicki Minaj. She also discussed her own aspirations to pursue a career in music.

Minaj's outburst has sparked speculation that she is referring to Ming Li in her comments. Ming Li is the only family member of Minaj who has spoken publicly about their relationship in recent interviews.
