When fans asked Nicki Minaj to pay her tuition on Twitter yesterday (May 6), the Young Money rapper said she would oblige the request under one condition: “Show me straight A’s that I can verify w/ur school and I’ll pay it.”
In the same tweet, Barbie offered to start a contest to pay students’ tuition.

The requests for money went on and on and on. Nicki promised to make the payments today (May 7). and have another “contest” in a month or two. She ended her charitable spree with a tweet where she jokes that she may not “have any money left” after forking up so much money.
Ok u guys. It’s been fun. Let me make those payments tmrw then see if I have any money left😂. I’ll do some more in a month or 2. 😘😘😘💋💋💋💕💕🎀🎀🎀
