[HiiiLife]

The third GOAT thing she's done since Monster.

 

[Omegasquash]

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

Never forget:

 

[MugiwaraCole]

Dope of Nicki. Still a trash rapper, but dope of her regardless.

 

[AstroNut325]

Wow. Nothing but respect. I hope more people do such a thing.

 

[ch4fx_]

Remy MaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Good on you Nicki.

 

[Citizen Mane]

Is that Indian Jim Jones? This may end poorly.

 

[dabig2]

Never forget:

I'll never forgive Bill for what he did to Netscape. But despite that, he's still good people.

 

[kiguel182]

She seems like an awesome person. It's awesome to see rich people using their money to help others. Especially when she didn't do it for publicity or anything like that.

 

[sangreal]

Is there any independent reporting of the state of this village? Because my first thought on hearing she is giving money to a pastor who is supposedly building up this village was that she is being taken for a ride. The article seems to be sourced entirely from her instagram posts

That would be terrible if it were true, but it's all too real of a possibility. Let's hope Minaj did her due diligence.

IDK man, he was going to personally give me a whole bunch of money back in the late 90s, but I forgot to forward that email onto 10 friends.

 

[MogCakes]

Much respect to her. A great example of 'don't judge a pop star by their public persona'.

 

[HarryKS]

Maybe because she's part indian.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Good shit Nicki.

 

[Jumeira]

Maybe because she's part indian.

She's 100% awesome though

What an amazing women, and then there's all the stars getting on stage to sign Tidal contracts, Nicky educating and saving lives

Gates' domestic education policies leave a lot to be desired, though i agree the Gates Foundation does good work worldwide.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Where'd you get that from?

 

[HarryKS]

Where'd you get that from?

She's from the islands, something like 1/4 indian.

 

[base_two]

Much respect to her. A great example of 'don't judge a pop star by their public persona'.

She's also known for being very manipulative behinds the scenes to thwart other female rappers she sees as a threat, which I don't like. She suffocates the female rapper scene with her music and brand as well. But outside of that, she seems cool. Respect

 

[Jumeira]

Where'd you get that from?

I think I read she's part Indian/tamal she mentions in her songs she's from Sri Lanka

 

[Pein]

She's from the islands, something like 1/4 indian.

yeah her dad is half indian from trinidad.

 

[aly]

I heard about this. I'm so happy and she does so much good.

 

[Joe]

I listened to her verse in Monster for the first time last week and it legit wow'ed me. This news puts me over the top, I'm a fan now.

 

[Wazzy]

It's nice that she did this but come on at people suddenly acting like she's a good person who's done no wrong.

Her brother raped a 12 yr old and she's defending him. Until she backs the fuck up on that situation she's awful.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Man major props to her. Very nice

 

[Neptune]

Her PR campaign is working well, it seems. People are talking about this and the student loan thing now, and nobody here seems to remember her bankrolling the legal defense for her child rapist brother, posting his $100,000 bail and posing for cutesy family photos with him afterwards like he just had some unpaid parking tickets. She's trash.

 

[Numb]

That's good shit

 

[IISANDERII]

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

Bill Gates
Beyounce and Jay Z
Obama
Nicki

George Lucas too

 

[TTOOLL]

wow, awesome!! We need more people doing things like this!

 

[gun_haver]

everyone with her kind of money should be expected and compelled to do things like this.

 

[Shanlei91]

Don't get the comments that this is a PR stunt / a sudden change - she's been donating for years.

What is interesting is that the money is donated through her pastor so it's likely a combination effort of giving to the community + converting to Christianity. Pastor's site: https://www.swoman.info/pictures/

I lol'd at the pastor's face being plastered all over the computer center.

Supernatural Computer Center?

Is the holy ghost inside each Intel processor resulting in divine download speeds?

 

[Zomba13]

That is super cool. I'm with others who though she was super selfish but honestly I'm not into that area of music or celebrity so I was very likely confusing her with someone else.

Bottom line, this stuff is awesome and Nicki Minaj seems like a super good person.

 

[Strangelove77]

Good on her. Hopefully the money is going exactly where it's meant to. People love to take advantage of these sorts of situations.

 

[Professor Renegade]

I don't listen to her music, but it's stuff like this that makes me love Nicki Minaj.
