Naomi Campbell accused of shading Nicki Minaj and Kendall Jenner — and fans aren't happy

Naomi Campbell is not exactly known for biting her tongue — which might just have made her the perfect guest for Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. The supermodel joined fellow guest Cuba Gooding Jr. for Wednesday’s show, and her frankness is now all anyone can talk about.

While Gooding had his own tea to spill — he named “cranky” One in the Chamber co-star Dolph Lundgren as his least favorite person to work with — it was Campbell’s remarks about Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Kendall Jenner that are raising eyebrows.

In the British model’s defense, she demurred when asked for her thoughts on Jenner’s recent comments about being “super-selective” about her modeling jobs and not understanding models who work dozens of shows. Jenner later said her remarks were “misrepresented” following backlash from her fashion industry peers.

“Next question” was Campbell’s tightlipped response to the Jenner drama.

But she was more forthcoming about the Harper’s Bazaar Icons party during New York Fashion Week — “It was called the Icons party, but there were no icons there,” she snapped — and the shoe-throwing fight that went down between attendees Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

“I was disappointed,” she said of the rappers’ headline-making clash. “I don’t want to see women of color fight. I don’t want to see women fight, period. … I felt very disappointed.”

It was an honest and fairly diplomatic response, but Minaj’s loyal fans — known as the Barbz — aren’t handling the criticism well.

“No icons there???” one Minaj supporter wrote underneath Campbell’s most recent Instagram post. “You said it like Nicki isn’t the most influential female rapper of all time smh. YOU’RE CANCELED!!”

“HOW DARE YOU SHADE NICKI?!?!? BETTER GET YO PINCHED FACE A** ON,” read another fiery comment.

“Nicki always shows you love,” a commenter admonished. “WTF.”

“You shady old bitch,” added a Minaj fan.

Others mocked the backlash and told the Barbz to lighten up.

“The best way to show you care about a person is being real with them,” one commenter said in Campbell’s defense. “You gave the best response; it shows your maturity to let people know they’re going out of line even if they’re your friends. All these Nikki fans complaining ain’t real & matured.”

Meanwhile, nobody seems overly pressed over the perceived jab at Jenner.
