American rapper Nicki Minaj expressed her surprise and joy to her Nigerian audience by tweeting in Pidgin English.
On the social media platform X, she utilized Pidgin in response to a seemingly inaccurate post about herself.
In a fit of anger, she addressed the issue of individuals profiting from her name, urging them in Pidgin to refrain from mentioning her for just one day.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
When a Nigerian user, @tyxhndrxx, inquired about who was teaching Nicki Minaj the Pidgin language, she promptly replied, indicating that she frequently encounters Pidgin expressions from Nigerians on her timeline.
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”
