Watch: Drew Sidora Tells Kandi Burruss that Nicki Minaj Criticized Her Post-Baby Body When She Auditioned to Play the Rapper [Video]

Drew Sidora is making the press rounds now that she’s Atlanta’s newest ‘Housewife.’

While appearing on co-star Kandi Burruss’ YouTube series, ‘Speak on It,’ the newest ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star opened up about a time Nicki Minaj criticized her post-pregnancy body.

The comments came during an audition for an ABC Family sitcom based on Nicki’s childhood.

via People:

Sidora first recalled having previously been told, “Girl, you don’t look how you looked in TLC,” referring to her 2013 role as TLC’s T-Boz in the TV movie CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story.

The reality star, 35, then shared that Minaj was one of the people to make a comment about her weight during an in-person audition.

“So, I was up for an ABC family series, a Nicki Minaj pilot. And Nicki herself said that. She said I don’t look how I looked when I played T-Boz,” Sidora claimed. “I was like, ‘Nicki!’ It was like, all these ABC execs around but I had gone through about five rounds. And she really, really liked me.”

“And then she said that in front of all of these [executives],” she continued. “It is was it is. I was like, ‘Look, I just had a baby.’ I think at the time my baby was like 3 months old, I was literally still breastfeeding.”

Sidora went on to share that she took Minaj’s remarks as “constructive criticism” and “advice” to begin her weight loss journey.

“What I took away was, ‘Girl, get your life together. Get back in the gym. You can’t keep blaming it on the baby and get to work,’ ” she told Burruss. “Like, yes, I had a baby, let’s not body shame, but it did give me that motivation. So I turned it into lemonade like let’s get in the gym and really get my career back. So, I’ve been on a journey of weight loss and just getting back to good health.”

A representative for Minaj did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sidora’s claims.

Now that Nicki’s a new mother herself, maybe she’ll be a little easier on the next woman on her journey of post-pregnancy weight loss.
