Nicki Minaj Covers College Costs for Twitter Followers
By: Joe Hyer
If you stay up late on the weekend, you may want to start paying attention to Nicki Minaj's Twitter account. Yeah, it could pay off... big time.
Minaj was tweeting about a promotion late Saturday (May 6), but one Twitter follower suggested that she pay off his college expenses instead of offering a trip.
Well, Minaj actually took the bait. She responded by saying if he could prove he had straight A's that she would support his education.
Show me straight A's that I can verify w/ur school and I'll pay it. Who wants to join THAT contest?!?!----♀️ Dead serious. Shld I set it up? https://t.co/czH715u64a

The charity spree did not stop there. Fans kept sending requests to have Minaj help with college expenses. They were asking for support with tuition, books, supplies, and even student loans. Minaj agreed to help in more than a dozen cases.
@NICKIMINAJ I only need $1548 to enroll in my school for the next semester ! -- and only 250$ for my books ! ----

She even agreed to pay a "couple" of student loans for this guy:

That's super kind, Nicki!
In some cases, she asked for verification of their good grades. Then she said if those fans messaged their banking info that she would hook them up.
Send me ur info. I'll pay it https://t.co/NTToY4OSPO

It's tough to total up the amount of money that Minaj donated to these students, but it looks like she was quite generous.
Looking for some support for your education? Keep your grades up, and Nicki says she'll try to do this again "in a month or 2."
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. ----------------------
