Nicki Minaj, who is without a question, one of
the most successful women in the entertainment business, revealed to her followers that she had wanted to visit her former high school and speak with the students, however she was declined by the principal.
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.
She also revealed that the new principal was a woman, which led some to believe that her decision may have been based on “Anaconda” and its single cover.
After Nicki revealed her disappointment on Twitter, her Barbz flooded the school’s social media and phone lines in support and were about two seconds from drawing up petitions, however, the school’s principal cleared the
air.
In a letter, sent to all of the students’ parents, she wrote
:
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.
In a nutshell, the principal may have allowed her to speak, if it wasn’t being filmed. Nicki is currently filming webisodes that she releases to her fans each week to give a peek into her life. It can be assumed she had plans to post the footage as part of an upcoming
segment.
