According to TMZ, Nicki Minaj was involved in a brief altercation at a Dallas hotel last night. The story goes that the rapper was a guest at the Palomar Hotel and was relaxing at the pool when she found herself in a heated argument with an, as of this moment, unnamed male.

Nicki told a hotel employee to call police … while the man went to their hotel room. Nicki followed soon after.

When cops and paramedics arrived, Nicki told authorities their poolside fight continued inside of their room … and the man hit her in her lower lip.

By the time the cops arrived on the scene, the guy was already gone and Nicki refused to press charges while saying the man was not her boyfriend. Again, all this is of the “alleged” nature, so just wait to see how the story evolves.
