She helped out a slew of people, then announced a plan to launch a charity to aid students. The following year, she made the process a bit more formal, posting on X, "Ok just send one tweet w|hashtag #StudentOfTheGame saying how much $ you need & what it's for," adding, "All $ will b paid directly towards the tuition, books, etc. I'll fave ur tweet & DM you if you've been chosen, for more info. Not every faved tweet will get a DM."
Minaj studied singing and acting at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City, graduating in 2000.
