It all started with a contest Nicki Minaj was running off of her Twitter when, totally out of the blue, one person asked the boldest question they could. Will you pay my tuition? This had nothing to do with the contest. They were just discussing what a good prize would be.
Well you wanna pay for my tuition? pic.twitter.com/BhDil75UPj
β πͺππ©ππ«πππππ (@cjbydesign) May 7, 2017
The answer was YES, with the condition that youΒ be kicking butt in school and have a 4.0.
Then we were off to the races.
Show me straight A's that I can verify w/ur school and I'll pay it. Who wants to join THAT contest?!?!π€·π½ββοΈ Dead serious. Shld I set it up? https://t.co/czH715u64a
β Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) May 7, 2017
People started pouring in with proof of their loan status and a simple request for help.
I Have a 4.0 I'm In Medical School! π© I Wann Join!! pic.twitter.com/UzHbOJqZ3D

β Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) May 7, 2017
But some still thought she might be joking around.

She wasnβt.

β Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) May 7, 2017
Then she decided straight Aβs might be too high a bar.
