Piers Morgan and Nicki Minaj have been going at each other on Twitter after the TV host called the rapper out for something that happened years ago.

It all began after Nicki tweeted misinformation about Covid-19 that led to her being called out.

Piers then took advantage of the opportunity to drag Nicki.

He tweeted: “Professor Whitty beefing with the ghastly @NICKIMINAJ (one of the rudest little madams I’ve ever met) is not the breaking news that I expected today – but it’s most welcome. She’s peddling lies that will cost lives.”

But Nicki responded, claiming she’s never met Piers.

She wrote: “Sir I’ve never met you. I know… We all look alike. ‘Rudest little madam’. I like it. Has a special ring to it.

“Thanks Pierce. Love the accent. I’d love to come chat. Scones. Tea. Clown nose & big red shoes for you. Lmk babe.”

Piers then told her they met on America’s Got Talent in 2011 when he was a judge and she a guest act. He added that she snubbed his sons at the time.

He retorted: “Madam, we met on @AGT when you appeared as a guest act – but you refused to say hello to my three young sons because you were ‘too busy’.

“Oh, and it’s ‘Piers’ – I know, we Brit names all sound alike.”

Piers is dad to three sons, Spencer, Stanley, and Bertie, who would have been aged 18, 14, and 10 when their paths crossed with Nicki.

Nicki responded to Piers’ accusation, writing: “Stop fkng lying. I never turn down pics with kids. If a middle person told you that, they were out of line. don’t blame me you stupid piece of s**t.”
