Nicki Minaj claims Candiace Bassett used auto-tune, 'RHOP' fans call out the 'shade'

'RHOP' fans have some strong feelings about Nicki calling out Candiace for using auto-tune on her songs

Nicki Minaj aka "Andiana Minaj" has finally made her big debut on Bravo's hit 'Real Housewives of Potomac' as the reunion hostess. Andy Cohen briefly stepped away from his hosting duties to let the famous rapper take over for him and shake things up a bit. And dare we say, Nicki wasted no time in ruffling the feathers of the housewives. Ahead of stepping onto the stage, Nicki hinted at having some questions for Ashley Darby and Candiace Bassett, but little did we know the kind of drama that the 'Anacaonda' rapper would stir up.

Candiace is extremely touchy when it comes to the topic of her singing. The housewife who recently released her album 'Deep Space' got into a huge fight with her co-star Mia Thornton, when the housewife labeled Candiace's music shoot as 'low budget'. So, Nicki knew very well what she was doing when she called out Candiace for heavily using auto-tune for her songs. In the preview for the upcoming episode, we see Nicki jokingly call out Candiace for her heavy usage of auto-tune and demanding she sings in front of them acapella style to prove that she can sing. The 'Drive Back' singer looks visibly upset on hearing Nicki's accusations and refuses to sing. Mia gangs up on Candiace and demands she sing for them since she's a singer.
