The globally renowned American rapper Nicki Minaj recently took her Nigerian fans by surprise and filled them with delight by tweeting in Pidgin English, a popular form of Nigerian colloquial communication.
This unexpected move occurred on the microblogging platform X, where Nicki Minaj responded in pidgin to a post about her that she found to be misleading. The rapper was clearly frustrated by the false narratives being spread and expressed her displeasure by addressing the issue directly in pidgin English, a language she doesn’t typically use.
In her tweet, she passionately called out those who profit from mentioning her name, urging them in pidgin to refrain from doing so for just one day. Her exact words were: “I must be the only person you can make money off mentioning. Go 1 day. Abeg. GO ONE FUCKING DAY WITHOUT FKNG LYING ABEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The surprising use of pidgin didn’t go unnoticed, prompting a Nigerian user with the handle @tyxhndrxx to ask Nicki who was teaching her the pidgin language. The rapper humorously responded by pointing out that she picks up the language from the pidgin tweets she sees daily on her timeline. She replied, “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*”
