Nicki Minaj has said she will pay some of her fans’ college tuition fees if they can prove they get straight A grades.
The US singer agreed to shell out thousands of dollars for college expenses in a Twitter giveaway – and said she will pay more in the future.
Nicki, 34, had been posting about a competition which gives fans the chance to meet her.
When one of her 20 million followers asked if she would consider paying her tuition fees instead, the rapper replied that she would if their marks were good enough.
