Nicki Minaj Announces Her “Student of the Game” Scholarship Fund & Pushes Back Album (Video)

Last Year, Nicki Minaj helped pay off fans tuition on twitter, and she will be continuing that this year. Minaj cancelled her visit to Ellen due to her having flu-like symptoms. Ellen was the first celebrity to donate to Minaj’s official scholarship fund, this year, between $25,000 – $50,000.

Minaj went on her instagram live today to share the news. “June 15th, you guys will be extremely happy. I have 3 surprises happening between June 11th-15th, one being the album cover” Minaj announced that her tour is not being pushed back, but the album will be. “I also want to do some things where I’ll invite some fans to the actual studio to listen to the album… I refuse to give y’all half-assed.”
