Nicki Minaj made some struggling college students very happy over the weekend. At around midnight on Saturday (May 6), the rapper began tweeting offers to pay fans’ college tuition, loans and other bills.
It all started when Minaj was tweeting about a contest to join her at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards on May 21. When one fan suggested the rapper instead pay for their college fees, she happily agreed.
“Show me straight A’s that I can verify w/ur school and I’ll pay it,” Minaj tweeted. “Who wants to join THAT contest?!?! Dead serious. Shld I set it up?”
