Nicki Minaj Revealed Why She Was Really Fired From Red Lobster

Throughout Last night's episode of The Tonight Show (June 27), Nicki Minaj and Jimmy Fallon ditched NBC Studios and went on a meal date to a place the late-night host has never been before: Red Lobster. Prior to becoming the rap superstar we know her as today, Minaj worked at a few of the seafood chain's locations — that is, before she got fired from every last one of them.


"I have worked at a few Red Lobsters and I've gotten fired from all three or four of these the rapper hilariously revealed as they headed to the restaurant in a pink Hummer limo. And immediately after arriving at the Times Square location and introducing Fallon to Lobsteritas and Cheddar Bay Biscuits, she explained why exactly she was let go. Turns out, any time clientele took her pen and failed to tip, she followed them out to their vehicle, banged on their windows, and yes, flipped them off with both hands. "I walked to the vehicle, I banged on the vehicle window, and I mentioned, 'Give me my pen!'" She recalled. "My manager fired me on the spot."


But just because her career as a server didn't quite pan out doesn't mean she didn't learn a lot on the job. Case in point, Minaj has extensive knowledge of the seafood restaurant's menu, proving that Jimmy chose just the correct person to accompany him for his first Red Lobster experience. Plus, she gave him some cooperative tricks on how to dunk his shrimp in tartar sauce and crack a lobster, which, admittedly, she's not also skilled at herself. "Wow, I can't believe you got fired," Jimmy joked.


Fortunately, Fallon came through with a chance at what he called "Red Lobster Redemption," and soon after they were finished feasting, they threw on uniforms and got to serve actual clientele. Based on the footage, we have to mention that Minaj was truly thriving, however Jimmy on the other hand, well... Not so much. Immediately after he was caught drinking a clients rum and coke and consuming food another patron's biscuits, we can mention with confidence that, despite Nicki's rocky past as a Red Lobster employee, she is clearly the superior server.


Although no matter how good of a server Nicki may be, we can pretty much all agree that her rap career is where she truly shines. Following their dinner date, the rapper was tasked with freestyling a verse using the words "hexagon," "yeti," and "Edible Arrangement," and well, she crushed it.


Feeling like you require some more Nicki verses? Well, don't worry! The rapper confirmed that there's an album on the way, and although she didn't reveal a release date quite however, the knowledge that it's coming is beneficial enough for us.
