Nicki Minaj recently gave her haters, who criticised the songstress for being offensive to disabled community, a mouth-shut.

The buzz started when the 32-year-old songstress posted an Instagram video where she was dressed up as a sexy fairy and took her wand to point at an unknown person on a wheel-chair and said, "walk," reports E! Online.

Though the video was taken down after some time, people began criticising the video on the social media, claiming that it was offensive to the disabled community.

Clearing her intensions, the 'Anaconda' hit-maker tweeted, "Lol. That's NOT a disabled person and u know that. Are u that desperate for attention? Bitch, u knew. That's my friend in a scooter. Have a great day. I surely will."

She later went on to tweet "BitchUKnew" and changed the subject by sharing photos of fans dressed up as her for Halloween.
