Nicki Minaj had yet another episode of “Queen Radio” this week and she SLAMMED Wendy Williams on the show over comments Wendy made about Kenneth Petty. As previously reported Wendy snarkily said that Nicki married a killer” and a “sex offender” while offering her congratulations on her recent nuptials. Kenneth Petty is a registered sex offender in New York and reportedly was convicted of attempted rape in 1995. He also served seven years for manslaughter after pleading guilty to the shooting death of a man in 2002. According to Nicki, Wendy’s comments crossed the line and she ethered the host as “demonic” and vicious” on Queen Radio. “It’s not about doing your job,” said an angry Onika. “There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you’re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated.” “I didn’t know that in our society, you have to be plagued by your past. I didn’t know that people can’t turn over a new leaf. I didn’t know that your viciousness and evilness was this deep-rooted.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbie (@nickiminaj) on Nov 1, 2019 at 2:29pm PDT That’s not all, Nicki also brought up Wendy’s nasty Kevin Hunter split and noted that his baby news with Sharina Hudson. According to Nicki, Wendy herself paid for the baby to be delivered considering that Kevin paid for his alleged mistress’ lifestyle with Wendy’s money. “When a woman isn’t really being loved at home, the viciousness is a different type,” Nicki said. “So I really wanted to pray for you today, because look at where you are now in your life. Look at what age you are. You’re sat up there being vicious all this time, and paid for that man’s mistress all these years. You paid for her shopping sprees, you paid for her hotels, you probably even paid for her GYN bills, you paid to have that baby delivered, hoe.” “How you doin’, stupid?!” Nicki’s Queen Radio episode also included Nicki calling Wendy “demonic” and telling her to ask for “forgiveness.” “I know we’re human first, we’re human before we’re celebrities, we’re human before we’re personas. And I know you must have gone through a lot. But you are demonic, and that’s why this stuff unfolded. If I were you, I would go and pray, ask for forgiveness. You can report the news—people do it all the time—without the level of viciousness and trying to play dumb and doing all this nonsense.” Later gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard stopped by to pray over Nicki’s Barbz.

Source: Mint Images / Getty Former Georgia Cop Sentenced To 12 Years In Prison Anthony Hill Death The former Georgia police officer who killed Anthony Hill has been handed down a sentence. Former Officer Robert “Chip” Olsen was sentenced to 12 years in prison Friday for the killing of Hill, a mentally ill, unarmed and naked black man in 2015. CNN reports that DeKalb County Superior Court Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson gave Robert “Chip” Olsen a 20-year term, with 12 years to be served in custody. Under the sentence, Olsen is prohibited from working in law enforcement, possessing firearms or profiting from the case. Prosecutors were hoping for a 25-year sentence with five years probation, but Judge Jackson noted the emotion Olsen had during the trial. “Many might have thought you were stoic and void of emotion,” the judge told Olsen according to CNN. “From the time opening statements started, I saw the tears that you’ve had. I saw how you replayed March 9, 2015, in your head.” Mind you Olsen was NOT found guilty of murder , he was found guilty of aggravated assault, making a false statement, and two counts of violation of oath, but acquitted on two felony murder charges. A jury in DeKalb County, Georgia, has found police officer Robert E. Olsen not guilty on murder charges in the shooting death of unarmed veteran Anthony Hill. Olsen was found guilty of four lesser charges. https://t.co/Mk3oPo2Brh — CNN (@CNN) October 14, 2019

Source: Caspar Benson / Getty Mother Charged With Toddler’s Murder Hampton, Virginia mother Julia Tomlin has been charged with murder after her 2-year old son Noah’s mutilated corpse was found at an industrial site near his home in Buckrow Beach, Virginia. Noah had been missing for six months before his dismembered body was discovered by authorities. Police say the toddler sustained horrific injuries after having been “tortured” before his death. Prosecutor Anton Bell told reporters that a coroner had to reassemble “partial parts and pieces” of Noah’s body and was able to conclude he had died of two skull fractures. Bell added that the skull fractures found indicated a level of force so severe it was as if the child had fallen several storeys from a building – suggesting the toddler had suffered weeks or months of abuse. Just before Noah’s body was found in a stream plant back in July, Julia was charged with three counts of felony child neglect in connection with his appearance. Her first court date hasn’t been determined yet. SMH, rest in peace baby Noah.
