NICKI MINAJ & MEGAN THEE STALLION HANGING OUT
Nicki is yet to speak publicly on the death of her father.
Homicide detectives are investigating the crash and asking anyone who saw the collision at the intersection of Roslyn Road and Raff Avenue to come forward with any information. Nicki is very close with her mother, but she is not considered to be very close with her father.
Nicki has been keeping a fairly low profile after becoming a mother four months ago.
We wish her and her family our condolences.
