Minaj disses New York ‘Wives’

-

“THE Real Housewives of New York” were dissed by Nicki Minaj this past week when the hit rapper refused to appear on their show.

But Minaj isn’t the only star who’s been running away from the cameras when they see the cast filming at hot spots around town for their upcoming season.

Spies said Minaj was with boyfriend and fellow rapper Meek Mill at Jue Lan Club this past week when the women from the Bravo show — now including comeback socialite Tinsley Mortimer — were filming.

“There were seven or eight of them doing two scenes at a time,” said an insider. “Bethenny [ Frankel], Tinsley, Ramona [ Singer] and the Countess [ LuAnn de Lesseps] were there.”

We hear that when Minaj and Mill walked into the restaurant and through the scenes, producers wanted to get them in front of the cameras with the ladies — but Minaj wanted no part of it.

“They walked through the filming and [Minaj] was like, ‘Meek, keep walking. Get the f--k out of here. Go upstairs,” a spy said. The couple then joined their party upstairs in a private dining room away from prying eyes.

Minaj is only the most recent hip-hop royal to allegedly diss the show. Page Six previously reported that when the “Real Housewives” were filming farther uptown at Beautique, producers spotted Busta Rhymes at the bar and “tried to talk him into appearing on camera,” a spy said. But “there was a resounding ‘No.’ ”

Bravo has not yet confirmed that Mortimer is the newest member of the cast, even though Page Six sources have repeatedly seen her filming the show around town after another cast member, Jules Wainstein, lasted for just one season amid a bitter divorce. Mortimer has joined the series in a comeback bid after returning to Manhattan, having spent two years in Palm Beach, Fla.

Reps did not get back to us.
