    TWITTER LOOP: NICKI MINAJ RESPONDS TO PHYSICAL ASSAULT RUMORS

    On Tuesday evening (July 12), TMZ reported that rapper Nicki Minaj got into an argument and eventually a physical altercation with an unidentified man while staying at the Hotel Palomar in Dallas, Texas.

    Nicki told a hotel employee to call police … while the man went to their hotel room. Nicki followed soon after. [...] When cops and paramedics arrived, Nicki told authorities their poolside fight continued inside of their room [...] and the man hit her in her lower lip. [...] The man had already left the scene when cops arrived … but Nicki insisted she did NOT want to press charges. Nicki also claimed she was NOT in a relationship with the alleged attacker.
