Nicki Minaj stunned Nigerians and other social media users when she responded to a tweet in pidgin English, a move that quickly grabbed attention across the platform.
The unexpected exchange began when an X account falsely claimed that the rapper had confirmed a track titled “Roman In Gag City” would be included in the deluxe version of her upcoming album, “Pink Friday 2”.
Frustrated by the misinformation, Nicki responded, “I must be the only person you can make money off mentioning. Go 1 day. Abeg. GO ONE FUCKING DAY WITHOUT FKNG LYING ABEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Her use of “abeg” in the tweet surprised a Nigerian follower, who promptly asked, “Who Dey teach Nicki Minaj pidgin language?” In a quick retort that further shocked her audience, Nicki replied,
“Wetin be the confusion? I Dey have eyes, o? I can read all the pidgin weh una pikin de put on my timeline every day. “SUCKS TEETH LOUDLY”
The rapper’s use of pidgin English, a widely spoken creole in Nigeria, caught many off guard and sparked a flurry of reactions online.
Her response highlighted that she is more aware of her global fanbase than many might assume, proving that she can engage with them on a personal and culturally relevant level when she chooses to.
