“She paid her to say that”: Fans poke fun as Jenna Ortega reveals she’s a Barb, praises Nicki Minaj’s iconic tracks

Jenna Ortega reveals that she is a huge Barb.

Actress Jenna Ortega just revealed how much of a Nicki Minaj fan she is. In a recent interview with Complex, during the press tour for her new film Hurry Up Tomorrow, with The Weeknd and Barry Keoghan, she talked about how much she loves Nicki Minaj.

“I love her verse on ‘I B On Dat’ honestly, but it goes back and forth, I love ‘Chun-Li’, Roman’s old stuff — It’s hard [to choose one] but I love her.”

But if that isn't proof enough, then how about at this year's MET Gala when the Wednesday actress showed off her rapping skills. Dressed in a custom dress by Balmain made up of silver rulers, Ortega rapped along to Nicki's verse on the Kanye song Monster.

'Cause that's what a motherfuckin' monster do/Hair dresser from Milan, that's the monster 'do/Monster Giuseppe heel, that's the monster shoe/Young Money is the roster and a monster crew/And I'm all up, all up, all up in the bank with the funny face/And if I'm fake, I ain't notice 'cause my money ain't/So let me get this straight, wait, I'm the rookie?/But my features and my shows ten times your pay?/50K for a verse, no album out/Yeah, my money's so tall that my Barbies got to climb it

Fans react to Jenna Ortega gushing about Minaj

Jenna has never shied away from showing her love for the singer, and some fans adore her more for it.

One fan commented,

"ALL THE RELEVANT BADDIES LOVE NICKI 💋 IF YOU DISLIKE HER, YOU’RE UGLY AND IRRELEVANT WBK."

Another expressed,

"I love how Nicki’s haters can’t handle when someone shows her love. You don’t have to like her or agree with anything she does, but to act like she don’t got hits for days and bodies her fts.

While one user claimed:

"Notice how everyone in Hollywood loves Nicki? It’s only the duds who have a problem"

One fan shared:

"jenna having good taste is the least surprising thing ever. her roman holiday era would be unstoppable,"

However, not everyone is on board with the Nicki love train.

One user commented,

"Not Nicki. Anyone but her."

While another sarcastically stated,

"Wait Barbz are Nicki Minaj fans?!? This whole time I’ve associated them with people who are just rude asf online for no reason…"

All in all, now all fans can pray for is an unexpected collaboration between the two icons. Maybe Jenna Ortega could feature in Minaj's next music video.
