Nicki Minaj is getting involved in the current Little Mix drama.

Nicki also slammed Little Mix member Leigh-Anne Pinnock after leaked text messages show that she allegedly called Jesy a “horrible person.”
Jesy and Nicki did an Instagram Live on Monday (October 11) in which they discussed everything that is going on right now. People have been accusing Jesy of making her skin darker and trying to look biracial.

“I personally want to say that my intention was never ever to offend people of color with this video and my song because like I said, growing up as a young girl, this is the music that I listened to,” Jesy said. “These are the videos that I watched and thought were the best. For me personally, ’90s R&B were the best years in music. I just wanted to celebrate that. I just want to celebrate that era of music is what I love.”
She added, “My intention was never, ever, ever want to offend anyone and genuinely it actually does really hurt me that may have offended people and actually, like, hurt people’s feelings just by genuinely celebrating something that I love.”
Jesy also talked about her natural appearance.
She said, “I’m just really lucky as a white girl that when I’m in the sun, I tan so dark like, so many people have said to me before like Leigh-Anne [Pinnock] in the group has said, ‘You sure you’re like not mixed-race because you’ve got darker than me in the sun. That’s crazy.’ I wanted to come on this live today as well and show everyone my hair is naturally curly. I’ve always had curly hair. I got it from my dad. I genuinely didn’t think I was doing anything wrong, because I’ve got naturally curly hair.”
Jesy also claimed that Leigh-Anne never brought up blackfishing allegations to her until they were shooting their final music video as a four-member group.
Nicki took some time during the Instagram Live to address the leaked screenshots of Leigh-Anne‘s text messages, in which she appears to criticize Jesy for blackfishing.
Nicki said, “Take them text messages and shove it up your f–king ass. Let her enjoy this time. If you was in this group and haven’t talked about this s–t for 10 years… If you want a solo career baby girl just say that… If that’s how you felt, why were you kiki’ing with her and being in videos with her for 10 years.”
