A Nigerian Twitter user expressed surprise, asking, “Who Dey teach Nicki minaj pidgin language?”

Nicki Minaj responded with even more pidgin English:

American rapper/songwriter, Nicki Minaj has stirred divorce rumors after posting a tweet about being single.

The 42-year-old who wed high school sweetheart, Kenneth Petty in 2019,  took to the X platform on Monday to share the cryptic tweet ‘yes single.’

The tweet made fans question whether the rapper was addressing her relationship status or hinting at new music.

‘So are we getting a new single or are you single,‘ one fan asked, as another shared: ‘We love you no matter what, idc if you’re single or dropping a new single.’

Yet another congratulated Nicki on her apparent self-promotion tactic, posting, ‘Dear rap girlies , this is how you pull a PR stunt. literally two words and she ate.’

The post comes after her husband Kenneth petitioned a court to approve him leaving the U.S. in April, as he remains on probation for his 2021 conviction of failing to register as a s3x offender.

Petty, 46, stated in court documents reviewed by TMZ that it’s crucial for him to join Nicki on her European Pink Friday 2 tour to accompany their three-year-old son.

The probation officer overseeing Petty’s case, stemming initially from his first-degree attempted r*pe conviction in April 1995, ‘hasn’t raised any objections to his travel request,’ the outlet reported, citing court docs.

Petty made headlines last September when he received a 120-day house arrest sentence for violating probation after posting social media clips containing aggressive messages towards Migos rapper Offset.

World-famous rapper, Nicki Minaj has disclosed the last conversation she had with her father before he tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run incident.

The 41-year-old Barbie World singer, who recently dropped her first album in five years, Pink Friday, last month, sat down for a conversation with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden.

The DJ asked her if she was speaking to her son in the first song of the album, Are You Gone Already.

Nicki said that the song was about her father, not her son, explaining: ‘So right after I had the baby, and it was during corona, and nobody knew what was going on.

‘But that day, as I’m rocking him, the phone rings, and I see it’s my father. I normally would not have picked up, because I don’t like to be on the phone with the baby there. I would’ve called him back. Something said, “Pick up the phone.”‘

She continued: ‘I picked up, he was very happy, and he was like, “Baby, I could come on Monday?” because he had been waiting to be able to come to Cali to help me. I kept on saying, “Come on out.”‘

‘He is this amazing, great person, who livens up the whole house. I was like, “Yes, we were going to get help.”‘

And then later that night, her mother Carol Manaj called to tell her that her father had been hit by a car in a hit-and-run.

He later succumbed to his injuries.

She said, ‘It was my mother, telling me that my father was in an accident and that she didn’t know what was going to happen, and she would call me back.

‘And then, everything started spinning,’ Minaj added.

The singer and rapper added that she ‘couldn’t believe’ how quickly everything happened, especially because ‘he was the happiest that I had heard him in a long time,’ when they spoke hours earlier about him coming out to LA to meet his grandson and help out.

Nicki emotionally revealed that since her father never got to meet his grandson, it was important to her to start Pink Friday 2 ‘speaking to [her] father.’

‘So I’m telling my father, ‘You never got to meet Papa,’ she said, explaining that the song details the time from her mom calling her to tell her about the accident to his death.

Minaj raps: ‘You never got to meet Papa / He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes.’

The Queen of Hip-Hop, Nicki Minaj, has announced her plans to travel to Ghana’s Gold Coast and collaborate with a local musician. In our story below, Nicki herself spills the beans.

The Queen of Hip-hop, Nicki Minaj, appears ready to join the group chat and have a little fun with it as she expresses aspirations to not only work with a Ghanaian musician but also visit Ghana. The music crossover season is well started.

When asked when she would be visiting Ghana, a fan asked the rapper via a livestream with the hashtag “Dear Grammys.” The rapper replied, “I’d love to travel to Ghana, I really may be doing something significant, a business kind situation with an artiste from Ghana very soon.”

However, Nicki Minaj’s livestream had mostly served as a forum for her to vent her anger at the Grammys and the Recording Academy for excluding her smash song Super Freaky Girl from the Best Rap Single category. Although she hasn’t yet worked with an artist from Africa, Nicki Minaj gave Wizkid’s Essence rave ratings, telling media personality Joe Budden that it was the song of the summer.
