Nicki Minaj Blasts ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith Over Her Super Bowl Halftime Show Criticism: ‘Sit Down Ugly’


Nicki Minaj has fired back at Stephen A. Smith, who was critical of her comments regarding the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner. See what she said.

After voicing her frustration with the NFL for overlooking Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performer in favor of Kendrick Lamar, ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith criticized her history of feuding while he defended Jay-Z. The rapper then appeared to sarcastically mix Smith up with his First Take partner Shannon Sharpe, who accidentally went on Instagram Live while getting intimate earlier this week. Lamar was announced as the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performer Sept. 8, and Lil Wayne publicly spoke out about the NFL’s decision early Friday (Sept. 13), admitting that it “hurt” him to not be selected.
