Jesting about why a famed rapper like Nicki Minaj needs an exclusive subscription for content, one user asked, “What happened to billionaire Barbie? Why are we begging for subscriptions on Twitter?”
Another comment suggested she started the exclusive space for extra money needed for legal disputes: “Here she goes begging for money again so she can pay for her legal disputes.” However, neither Nicki nor the user provided evidence connecting the two things.
A third user continued, “C’mon barbz subscribe to her she needa pay dem lawsuits she lost.”
A fourth user expressed, “I knew you were broke after all this, but to the point of asking for money on Twitter, girl, you’re ruined asf.”
A fifth user commented, “This desperate attempt to get some pennies in your already empty coin purse.”

Moreover, admirers supported the 43-year-old singer in the comment section amidst the trolls. One fan encouraged, “Thank you for having us, Queen. I can’t wait to continue growing with you on this new journey. Wishing you nothing but blessings and peace, my love. I can’t wait to gag even more. PAUSE.”
