Nicki Minaj’s fanbase is one of the most loyal groups of people in the industry. The Barbz will do anything for their favorite artist, and when it comes time for them to defend Nicki, they’ll show out in force.
On Monday (December 21), the Queen rapper called upon her crew to go after some pesky trolls who wouldn’t leave her alone. In a pair of deleted tweets, Nicki posted images of a group chat that texted her nonstop throughout her day. She didn’t know anyone in the group chat and all the unsaved numbers that were harassing the rap superstar became available to her 21.6 million followers on Twitter.
“Barbz, have no mercy,” Nicki said in a second tweet.
Without question, the Barbz went after the trolls to the point of sending death threats and even wishing them other types of harm for harassing their leader.
One of the girls who got thrown into the text thread recorded a video of herself trying to clear her name. She was added to the group chat randomly and saw several celebrity iCloud e-mail addresses going around the room. The girl says she joined in on the fun, thinking it was all fake, but it turned out Nicki’s e-mail was the real thing before all hell broke loose.
The Barbz have reason to protect Nicki at all costs. She takes care of them whenever she can, as she’s done recently through her Student of the Game fund. The program has Nicki help out kids facing financial obstacles, whether that be existing student loans or taking care of tuition fees.
One of those students who Nicki helped out, Artavion Cook, graduated on December 8 which also happens to be Nicki’s birthday. The college grad posted a picture of his diploma on Instagram thanking the star for her generosity.
Nicki Minaj’s Fan Tuition Assistance Culminates Into A Bachelor’s Degree
“Bachelor of Science in Biology. Chemistry and Psychology minor,” Cook wrote in the caption. “This day is even more special because @NICKIMINAJ paid my tuition a few semesters ago, and today is her birthday!”
GoTdamn!
Everyone involved in this situation is stupid…
Every time I think of “the barbz” I be thinking its a few dozen (at most) of the most rabid social media addicts that are so prominent on twitter and instagram that try to speak on behalf of the more casual fans. I mean, when was being a super fan ever cool ? Emenim might have coined the term “stan” with his song but it was a joke about a weird one in a million obsessed type of individual. Was there really ever an army of rabid fans that care more about being a fan than becoming famous themselves ? Im just having a hard time believing these super fans exist in such huge droves like the rappers and the media wants you to believe.
