Nicki Minaj Promises Fans She’ll Pay for School on Twitter

College tuition has shared the limelight with plenty of celebrities throughout the years. From Jay-Z and Beyonce to Jerry Seinfeld, famous actors, musicians and humanitarians have lent a hand to students in their objective to pay for school, and Nicki Minaj is the latest to join the ranks. It all started on Twitter Saturday night when Minaj posted about a contest opportunity to attend the Billboard Music Awards with her, according to USA Today College. She posted that she had enough money to fly someone from anywhere in the world, and with that, some of her followers asked how far her money could go in helping them. One follower, @cjbydesign, tweeted back at Minaj, “Well you wanna pay for my tuition?” Her response? Sure! All followers had to do was show proof of having straight A’s.
