This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud. The money I've sent to this village in India for the last couple years [via my Pastor Lydia Sloley], has gotten them a Computer Center, a Tailoring Institute, a Reading Program and 2 WATER WELLS. We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some ppl don't even have clean water. Blessings to India. Our work is far from done. I'll tell you guys more about my charity work in the near future in case you'd like to be a part of it. Love🙏🏽

Damn between this and the tuition thing she's actually pretty amazing? I don't know why but I kind of imagined her being an asshole. Doesn't really seem like that all though.

 

[Fewr]

She also paid strangers' tuition fees too recently, no?
EDIT: she did.

 

[Barzul]

Damn good of her. She was also paying off the student loans and tuition for some of her fans, which was nice.

 

[NewFresh]

First paying people's school loans and now this. Hope she keeps it up.

 

[HStallion]

Good on her, especially since you know she did this for other reason than publicity if its just now coming out.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

I don't know why people automatically project being selfish assholes onto pop stars who haven't given anyone any reason to believe they're selfish assholes

It's dope to hear about charity like this though

 

[rokkerkory]

Really really damn awesome of her

 

[victreeb3l]

Nicki is awesome.

 

[zeemumu]

It's kinda funny that the disses and stuff are all made as public as possible but the good deeds are done as covertly. Usually it's the opposite for that good publicity.

Good on you, Minaj.

 

[Slayven]

It's amazing how people that catch the most shit are doing the most

This reminds me of that celebrity who actually heads an organization dedicated to stopping child sex slavery rings. I forgot who it was, but I thought that was pretty cool.

 

[ColdPizza]

Damn, much respect.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

It's great to learn about how people at the top like her can still be fantastic hunan beings with their wealth. Fucking awesome.

 

[PassiveObserver]

She got that water
(Splash, drip, drip, woo, splash)

 

[FairyD]

This is a nice story. I'm happy for those people. Access to clean water is something I take for granted.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Wise investment

 

[Escape Goat]

Her music is atrocious but you can't hate on her for helping others.

 

[Inferno313]

Nicki rules.

Her music is atrocious but you can't hate on her for helping others.

Not too into her current work, but her feature on Monster is still an all-timer. Can't knock her talent.

 

[Yoshimitsu126]

Really giant of her to do this.

 

[veryslowhand]

Minaj 2024

Just looked this up because I didn't know about it. Here's a link for anyone else joining the thread.

Had no idea she was doing this for people. She's awesome.

 

[Pankratous]

She's been so damn kind recently.

I have to wish every rich

Spoiler

(obscenely rich)

person was this kind.

 

[Escape Goat]

Her ass is fake but her heart is real

Those are the words she wants on her tombstone.

 

[SenorArdilla]

Ashton Kutcher

He spoke at a Congressional hearing about human trafficking as well.

 

[EdibleKnife]

Giving more & more reasons to love her

 

[Lakershead22]

That is very admirable. Good on her for helping out people.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Nicki is awesome.

Yeah but fuck Microsoft tbh. It's funny how ruthless Gates was in business vs. how selfless he is with all the charity work.

 

[Skelter]

Business is business!

 

[Maintenance]

Trying to relieve the guilt.

 

[see5harp]

People quietly send funds to third world nations all of the time through offering at church. I suppose no one has a large enough voice to mention it and instantly bring awareness to an issue like her though.

 

[Karsticles]

Hmm, what do most of those have in common?...

 

[LiK]

That's awesome. Didn't Rihanna also donate to a place? These types of actions really make me respect them more than just being entertainers.

 

[Dead Prince]

someone going to make a bollywood movie starring nicki minaj now. Anaconda inspired.

Bill Gates has his haters but compared to the others you listed Gates' haters are tame.

You also forgot to add Akon.

 

[MercuryLS3]

good on her

 

[Alienous]

It's bizarre to me that this doesn't happen more.

It feels like there should be a lot more "You know what, I don't need another necklace/car/house" charity.

 

[Escape Goat]

Im sure a lot of celebrities do donate without making an announcement. Or they do and then leak it to the press so they look doubly pious. But Im sure nobody would ever do that.

 

[The Lamp]

I hope more celebrities do this. Half a million dollars to a movie star is a new car, but it could mean a whole new functioning village to some people in other countries.

 

[Rentahamster]

It happens more than you think, but you just don't know about it.

 

[Flux]

Haiti post hurricane. Though their awesome charity work gets shelved when the latest gossip rolls around.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Awesome philanthropy

 

[see5harp]

A lot of people, celebrities or otherwise, give generously to their churches. It's a tax write off. I think people would be surprised, that even middle class families will give 10% of their gross salaries to their huge churches. How do you think these huge megachurches get built all over the country?

 

[Saucycarpdog]

It's amazing how people that catch the most shit are doing the most

Apparently helping brown people isn't real charity work to the public.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Whoa whoa whoa are you saying Nicki Minaj can pay my tuition?

 

[Slayven]

I am old, i remember a time when Bill Gates was the most hated man on the internet. Loading up my netscape navigator to read folks blasting him on Slashdot, those were the days

Come on MTV. Try to be relevant again.
