For you to use your platform to encourage our community to not protect themselves and save their lives, my God, sister, you could do better than that,” Reid said. “You got that platform.

Oh, my God.” Minaj took notice and posted a tweet a little over an hour later accusing Reid of saying what she said “by the request of the white man.”
