NICKI MINAJ VICTIM OF FAKE SHOOTING REPORTS IN SECOND SWATTING INCIDENT

Nicki Minaj has been swatted yet again, with the perpetrator of the crime alleging to law enforcement that the head Barb had been the victim of a shooting.

TMZ revealed that the rapper’s San Fernando Valley, CA home was targeted for the attack on Saturday (July 29). According to the outlet, law enforcement officials pulled up to the home with lights flashing and an ambulance on the ready after the anonymous caller claimed that Minaj had been shot.

When law enforcement spoke to the “Starships” rapper after they’d pulled up, Minaj was reportedly none-too-pleased that they’d been called, yet again, for no good reason.

As of this writing, a perpetrator hasn’t been arrested for the fraudulent call.

Celebrities like Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Ashton Kutcher are just a few who have been targeted by the crime. California law, however, has only made swatting a misdemeanor.

“Any individual who reports, or causes any report to be made, to any city, county, city and county, or state department, district, agency, division, commission, or board, that an ’emergency’ exists, knowing that the report is false, is guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for a period not exceeding one year, or by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine,” reads the California law on swatting, which was passed in 2014.

If, however, the swatting results in grave bodily inury or death, it becomes a felony, according to the same law.j

This latest prank call isn’t the first time that Nicki Minaj has been the target of swatting. Last month, law enforcement officials in Los Angeles received two separate 911 calls — one reporting that the “Starships” rapper’s son, known as “Papa Bear,” was being abused, and another claiming that Minaj was stuck in a house fire.

However, when first responders arrived at the scene, they found nothing to substantiate the claims that came through the switchboard.

“Sources close to Nicki tell us she’s not letting this little episode slide,” TMZ reported. “We’re told she’s hired lawyers to make sure the people behind this swatting are exposed and held accountable — which could mean criminal charges down the road.”

Meanwhile, back in 2017, she was the victim of a burglary as her Los Angeles home was broken into while she was out of town.

The mansion was trashed after the culprit flipped over furniture, smashed perfume bottles and even cut up Nicki’s clothes. The burglar (or burglars) made off with about $200,000 in jewelry and other items, the report said.
