Nicki Minaj wanted to pay a visit to her old high school and speak to the students, but said on Twitter yesterday she wasn’t allowed. She wrote;
I wanted to go back to my HS and speak to the students but the principal declined.
That school change my life and I wanted to pay it forward to the students there now.
I was really looking forward to it. I guess I’m not good enough.
After she sent a series of tweets nailing the principal, her fans began to send the school emails and harassing phone calls filled with complaints.
The school district has now responded with their own statement in a letter to parents:
September 11, 2014
Dear LaGuardia Community,
It has been brought to our attention that Nicki Minaj is attempting to generate publicity for herself by posting negative information about our principal, Dr. Lisa Mars, and LaGuardia Arts High School.
The fact is that Ms. Minaj was told by the NYC Department of Education (DOE) that she would not be allowed to enter the school with a television crew. The DOE has policies in place to protect the privacy and security of all its students. I’m sure we all appreciate the strict enforcement of these policies with regard to the safety of our children.
I wonder why Nicki Minaj left out the part about wanting to film the speech to the students. If that’s the case, I totally understand why the school decided not to have her. Nothing personal Nicki.
