$30,000 in unauthorized charges made on a newly issued American Express card. According to the multi-platinum rapper, the fraudulent activity was carried out by individuals close to her inner circle; without her knowledge or consent.
Early Tuesday morning (October 14), Minaj took to Instagram to share screenshots of the suspicious transactions, sparking widespread reaction from fans. In her post, she claimed that four separate individuals were involved in the charges, which were allegedly made over a two-month period.
Sources say the rapper has already reported the incident to American Express and is working to identify those responsible. While Nicki Minaj didn’t name any of the alleged parties publicly, her social media posts made it clear she feels betrayed by people she once trusted.
