Her Twitter followers quickly responded, sending in pictures of their grades as well as explanations of what they needed.

“Nic please help me I need 350$ for a summer mit program I managed to save the rest working weekends it would relieve sm stress I’m 17,” wrote user @Jawad_Minaj alongside the evidence of her 4.0 GPA.
“Of course,” Minaj responded.
At least 21 other fans were promised to have their school expenses paid, including one fan from Colombia who was promised a professional camera to study audiovisual production.
Minaj promised to wire through the money on Sunday and said that she would help more students again in a month or two.
