Nicki Minaj wanted to speak to students at her high school, principal says ‘no thanks’

NICKI Minaj’s high school? They don’t want none of her buns.

The Anaconda singer says she offered to speak to the students of her former Manhattan high school, but was disappointed when the principal declined her visit.

The rapper took to Twitter to complain that the head of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School in New York wouldn’t allow her to “pay it forward” to the school she says changed her life.

I wanted to go back to my HS and speak to the students but the new principal declined. No need for me to inspire them, I guess. Smh — Anaconda (@NICKIMINAJ) September 11, 2014

It's a WOMAN. And not really > RT @JorianTM: @NICKIMINAJ wooow that's so unfair. Did he give any reason why?” — Anaconda (@NICKIMINAJ) September 11, 2014

I guess I'm not good enough > RT “@BiggestBoyBarb: @NICKIMINAJ that is SO wrong! Students need all the inspiration they can get!!” — Anaconda (@NICKIMINAJ) September 11, 2014

That school changed my life and I wanted to pay it forward to the students there now. I was really looking forward to it. — Anaconda (@NICKIMINAJ) September 11, 2014

Work hard. Strive for greatness. > RT @liyahhun: @NICKIMINAJ Awwww Nicki! Aww babe. What can us barbz do to make you feel better?” — Anaconda (@NICKIMINAJ) September 11, 2014

Known as the “Fame” school, LaGuardia has taught many celebrities, including Jennifer Aniston, Adrian Grenier, Al Pacino, Ellen Barkin, Laurence Fishbue, Liza Minnelli and Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon.

While it may look like the principal was simply mean-spirited or perhaps didn’t think Minaj was the right type of role model for students, the New York Daily News reports the singer may not have told the whole story.

A source says Minaj wanted to film the visit for an MTV production and principal Lisa Mars thought the shoot would interfere with student’s studies.

Either way, we can’t possibly understand why the Department of Education may have been hesitant.
