Nicki Minaj Speaks Pidgin On Social Media by nlfpmod: 7:37pm On Sep 02
‘Wetin be the confusion?’, Nicki Minaj replies fan who questioned her pidgin proficiency

Multiple award-winning rapper, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, popularly known as Nicki Minaj, has stated that she can read and understand Nigerian pidgin English.

The rapper revealed this on Monday while responding to a social media user who questioned her proficiency in pidgin English.

It all started after Nicki Minaj made a post in pidgin English, calling out a social media user for using her name to chase clout and make money.

She wrote, “I must be the only person you can make money off mentioning. Go 1 day. Abeg. GO ONE FUCKING DAY WITHOUT FKNG LYING ABEG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

The post caught the attention of Nigerian social media users, who wondered how the ‘Anaconda’ crooner became so adept in pidgin English.

Reacting to the post, a user @tyxhndrxx, who questioned the rapper’s proficiency in pidgin, wrote, “

”Who Dey teach Nicki Minaj pidgin language.”

Responding to the social media user, Nicki Minaj revealed that she’s not a novice when it comes to speaking pidgin English, adding that she can read all the pidgin posted on the timeline.

She wrote, “Wetin be the confusion? I Dey have eyes o? I can read all the pidgin weh una pikin de put on my timeline every day. “ SUCKS TEETH LOUDLY.”

However, this is not the first time Nicki Minaj has interacted with her fans in pidgin. The rapper, while responding to a fan back in 2023, wrote, “Naija no Dey carry last.”

Nicki Minaj is no stranger to Nigeria. She was featured as an artist on Davido’s ‘Holy Ground,’ a track from his third studio album, A Better Time.

My Jamaica friends speak Nigerian pidgin more than their own broken English. 😆

Nicki Minaj is also from the Carribbean so it's possible pidgin is a thing in the Carribbean.

I see !gbos claiming and trying to famz Nicki forgetting that nah worri ppl get pidgin, and worri nor be Biafra land. Nicki worri Minaj grin . Take it or leave it Nigeria is the face of every black man & nation. SA and any other black nation are irrelevant when it comes to the Nigerian influence . How I wish that we have creative and determined leaders like in the early 60-70s Nigeria will be among top 5 nation on earth

If there are Nigerians who can understand and even speak Korean by listening to k-pop, this shouldn't come as a surprise.

She's originally from Trinidad and Tobago. The local Creole may also contain some Pidgin words such as 'pikin' which means a small child if I'm correct.
