Nicki Minaj pays fans’ tuition fees
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 8 May 2017
Nicki Minaj has offered to pay the tuition fees of some of her fans. Not sure that’s a perfect solution to the issue of poor education funding, but it’s something. Although only those who have to date received straight A grades are eligible.
Minaj had been tweeting about a contest to meet her, but one fan replied and asked if she’d pay his tuition fees. “Show me straight As that I can verify with your school and I’ll pay it”, she replied. “Who wants to join THAT contest?! Dead serious”.
It turned out, quite a few people were interested in that contest. So Minaj ended up agreeing to put up money for fees, books, and more, as well as paying off student loans for others who had already graduated.
After 45 minutes, she tweeted again: “OK you guys. It’s been fun. Let me make those payments tomorrow then see if I have any money left. I’ll do some more in a month or two”.
