Drama is already heating up before the premiere of Zeus Network’s new spin-off Baddies Gone Wild, and this time, it’s not just the cast at the center of the storm. Rap icon Nicki Minaj has reportedly unfollowed Natalie Nunn, the show’s executive producer, after her younger half-sister Ming Maraj — professionally known as Ming Luanli — was revealed as a cast member.

Unfollowing Sparks Rumors of Family Tension

The revelation came via a post from Twitter media aggregator SOUND | Victor Baez, which shared screenshots confirming that Minaj no longer follows Nunn on Instagram. The move follows the release of a Baddies Gone Wild teaser, in which Nunn references past tensions with Minaj using lyrics from her 2023 verse on Lil Uzi Vert’s “Endless Fashion”:

“Ayo, even if my name was Natalie Nunn / You btches still couldn’t chin-check me.”*

While Nunn previously thanked Minaj for the mention, the tone has shifted, and fans are speculating that deeper personal issues have surfaced.

Who Is Ming Maraj?

Ming Maraj, also known as Ming Li and performing under the name Ming Luanli, is more than just a famous sibling. At 19 years old, she’s the youngest cast member ever on Zeus Network and is already making waves as an aspiring rapper, entrepreneur, and crypto co-founder of Quantum Swap.

She gained attention with early singles like “Thotiana” and “Hold On,” and her 2024 collaboration with Rakeem Love, “Do It Again,” earned serious buzz among Gen Z rap fans. Her music blends high-energy performance with an unapologetic presence — and it’s resonating.

In her own words, “I’m not just Nicki’s little sister. I’m Ming freaking Maraj and you’re gonna remember my name.”

A Complicated Sisterhood

Despite their shared bloodline through their father Robert Maraj, Ming has described a distant and often painful relationship with Nicki Minaj. During her appearance on the We In Miami podcast, she opened up about being bullied and overlooked and expressed her desire to be acknowledged on her own terms. This led to a cryptic response from Nicki on Stationhead:

“You have to go and get your own. Being a mooch and a clown don’t run in my DNA.”

The tension has spilled further into the spotlight with the Baddies Gone Wild casting, especially after producers reportedly questioned Ming about her sister on-camera — a move many online have criticized as “messy.”

Reality TV Meets Real-Life Family Drama

Baddies Gone Wild is set to premiere Sunday from Brazil, and all eyes are on Ming Luanli, who is entering the franchise with what fans are calling “Princess of the Underground” energy. She’s unapologetically raw, fiercely ambitious, and ready to take on reality TV without holding back.

Whether her debut helps mend or further fracture her relationship with her superstar sister remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Ming Maraj isn’t just riding on a name — she’s carving out her own.
