Comedian Mike Epps has apologized for making a crude joke about Nicki Minaj<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

“Y\u2019all know I\u2019m Mr Accountability,” Epps said Tuesday in his Instagram stories. “You know, I say stuff and do stuff, and then I go to bed, wake up the next morning, [having] prayed on and thought about it. I just want to apologize to you, Nicki Minaj, for saying the stuff that I said. I want to apologize to your husband, your kids, all that for saying what I said.”\n<\/p>\n

Epps joked about Minaj, who is a vocal supporter of the current administration, “having a train ran on her by Donald Trump<\/a> and them,” during a Feb. 6 show during the We Them Ones Comedy Tour at KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Ky.\n<\/p>\n

“I’m a comedian,” Epps said in his apology post. “Sometimes I get on that stage, and I have a little drink, and I go wild. I’m non-filtered. Just wanted to apologize to you. Not explaining myself, but I am Mr. Accountability.”\n<\/p>\n

He added, “I love apologizing, which is something a lot of people don’t know how to do. [I] apologize to you, Nicki.”\n<\/p>\n

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a rep for Minaj.\n<\/p>\n

The “Barbie World” artist, who’s described herself as an “illegal immigrant,” has been a public supporter of the Trump administration, which has aggressively targeted undocumented immigrants for deportation.\n<\/p>\n

Last month, the Grammy-nominated artist made an appearance at a White House event.\n<\/p>\n

“I am probably the president’s number 1 fan,” she told the crowd, “and that’s not going to change.”\n<\/p>\n

Minaj later said that she had obtained a Trump Gold Card, which meant she would be “finalizing that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per MY wonderful, gracious, charming President.”\n<\/p>\n

She continued, “Thanks to the petition. I wouldn’t have done it without you. Oh, CitizenNIKA, you are the moment. Gold Trump card free of charge.”\n<\/p>\n

Trump had previously described the card as one that, for “a $15,000 DHS processing fee and, after background approval, a contribution of $1 million,” the applicant would receive “U.S. residency in record time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Comedian Mike Epps has apologized for making a crude joke about Nicki Minaj. “Y\u2019all know I\u2019m Mr Accountability,”…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-461717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=461717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/461717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=461717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=461717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=461717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
