Nicki Minaj has once again been targeted in a swatting attack, a dangerous and harmful prank that involves falsely reporting an emergency to law enforcement. In June, police responded to her residence after a prank caller falsely claimed that her 2-year-old son was being abused, leading to a visit from child services. Unfortunately, Nicki experienced another swatting incident over the weekend.
This time, a hoax 911 call claimed that Nicki had been shot, prompting law enforcement to show up at her San Fernando Valley home on Saturday afternoon. However, it was quickly determined to be a false report, and Nicki was not in any danger.
Following last month’s swatting incident, Nicki took action by hiring lawyers to seek accountability for the person or persons responsible for making the fake 911 call. Swatting is a serious offense that can divert law enforcement resources from real emergencies and put innocent individuals in harm’s way. By taking legal action, Nicki is aiming to address the issue and ensure that those responsible are held accountable for their actions. Authorities are actively investigating these incidents to identify the perpetrators behind the swatting attacks and prevent any further attempts to harm or harass the rapper or others through such malicious hoaxes.
