Singer and rapper Nicki Minaj allegedly cursed out a maid at her Los Angeles home on Friday morning, mistaking her for a maid she had fired weeks ago.

According to TMZ, several weeks ago Minaj's maid took a photo of the performer out of the trash and asked for an autograph. Minaj was insulted and subsequently fired her.

Police told TMZ that the fired maid returned to the premises on Friday, where she demanded "not to be treated like an animal." Minaj reportedly responded, "I'll show you how to treat someone like an animal, get the f**k out of my house!"

Here’s where the story gets complicated. Another source claims that the maid involved in the confrontation on Friday was not the same maid that Minaj fired weeks ago, though the “Super Bass” singer thought she was. The mystery woman claimed in a battery report that she was physically assaulted by Minaj and "her boyfriend" when they forcibly removed her from the property.
