Nicki Minaj received mixed reviews from fans after she asked for a moment of silence for her “dear friend” Princess Diana at a concert over the weekend.
The “Super Bass” rapper was performing on stage in Birmingham, England, on Sunday when she handed her pink microphone over to an attendee who declared that he was from Wales.
Minaj took the moment to link the guest’s hometown to the late royal –– who was the Princess of Wales when she was married to King Charles III.

“Wales! It always reminds me of a dear friend of mine –– well, she’s not here anymore –– but the Princess of Wales,” she said in a British accent during her concert, per a TikTok video.
The Queen of Rap, 41, then paused and called for a “moment of silence” for the late princess and held the microphone to her chest and looked down for a few seconds while the audience became slightly quieter.
After a few seconds, Minaj kept up the British accent while listing off more cities in the United Kingdom.
It didn’t take long for the video to go viral and for fans to tease Minaj for both her accent and calling Princess Diana her “dear friend.”
