American rapper Nicki Minaj astonished and pleased her Nigerian followers by communicating in Pidgin English through a tweet.
On the platform X, she employed Pidgin while addressing a post that appeared to be misleading regarding her.
In a passionate response, she criticized those who seem to profit from her name, imploring them in Pidgin to go an entire day without mentioning her.
She wrote: “I must be the only person you can make money off mentioning. Go 1 day. Abeg. GO ONE FUCKING DAY WITHOUT FKNG LYING ABEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
In response to a Nigerian user, @tyxhndrxx, who asked who was instructing Nicki Minaj in Pidgin, she quickly noted that she regularly sees Pidgin phrases from Nigerians on her timeline.
@tyxhndrxx asked: “Who Dey teach Nicki minaj pidgin language”
Nicki Minaj responded: “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”
