Rah Ali Snaps Back At Nicki Minaj With Open Letter
Former Love & Hip-Hop star Rah Ali is net here for slander. After rumors surfaced accusing her of being one of the culprits behind a recent credit card and theft scandal involving her longtime bestie Nicki MinajRah took to social media to defend her name.
Earlier this month, the Grammy-nominated rap icon claimed that “three different people in a two-month period” drained her Amex card without permission, racking up nearly $25,000 in charges. On October 19, the infamous YouTuber Tasha K threw even more gasoline on the gossip fire, suggesting that Rah got her hands on Nicki's sensitive credit card information through a former assistant — an allegation that she doubled down on in a follow-up video posted October 29, in which she claimed to have spoken to the rapper about the alleged intelligence. But Rah wasn't having it.
Rah Ali wrote an open letter to Nicki Minaj, maintaining her innocence.
On Wednesday, she posted an open letter to Minaj, making it clear that she was innocent.
“Throughout our friendship, I've been nothing but loyal and sincere,” Rah wrote in a heartfelt message shared to X. “Even if you're going through a tough time right now, I can't allow you to destroy me and the company I've built.”
Rah went on to say that she was deeply hurt by what she saw as Minaj's betrayal.
“You have empowered and given others license to spread deplorable lies about me, smear my character and throw away the friendship,” she said. “To be lied to by someone you don't know is one thing; for it to come from you is unimaginable.”
In her closing remarks, Rah didn't mince words, addressing Nicki directly with her government name: “Ms. Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, let's stop playing games with our lives. Show the evidence or apologize instead of sensationalizing headlines. Get offline and seek help. Get your peace, your time and your crown back.
Earlier this month, Nicki claimed that unauthorized purchases had been made to her Amex card.
Meanwhile, Nicki's side of the story has been just as fierce. On 14 Oct, the Pink Friday hitmaker took to X with several posts showing screenshots of the alleged unauthorized purchases, including charges of $7,000, $8,030.59, $5,552.63, and two charges of $4,333.22, according to screenshots shared by TMZ.
In a follow-up, she claimed that some of the culprits had been at it for “years” and confirmed that she had already taken legal action.
“Filed the first report a few weeks ago. They're all going to jail,” she said, adding a smiley emoji to her post.
Nicki also claimed that a fourth person had “stolen from the Barbz” and even planted a tracking device to monitor their movements, which, in a twist straight out of a true crime podcast, led the police right back to the person's cell phone.
“You can't make this shit up,” she said wrote “Won't GOD do it?! Yes, he will!”
This is not the first time that Rah Ali has been involved in drama. Remember her spat with Cardi B?
Of course, this isn't the first time Rah Ali has been caught up in hip-hop turbulence. Fans may recall her 2018 Harper's BAZAAR ICONS party altercation with Cardi B during New York Fashion Week, a spat that occurred while Rah attended alongside Nicki. On a 2018 episode of Nicki's Beats 1 Radio Show, Queen RadioThey revealed Rah hit Cardi during their fashion week brawl.
“Rah really, really beat Cardi's a** bad,” he said rapper claimed at the moment, according to PEOPLE.
The two crossed paths again this July, this time at the airport in Cannes, France, where things reportedly got tense faster than you can say “first class boarding.” Both ex-Love & Hip Hop: New York stars agree that an argument went down, but that's about where the agreement ends. Rah claims she kept her cool while Cardi started “yelling” at her, “cursing and screaming,” as she recounted on the July 31 episode of her Sited Show podcast. Rah claimed the rapper threw her “shoes” and “bags” at her during her alleged break-in.
Cardi, on the other hand, is holding on she clocked Rah with a JBL speaker.
