“I expect you to be angry if someone tells you that you look like Nicki Minaj, to me that’s a serious insult, don’t compare yourself to those kinds of people.”

“Subhanal_Lah, you are not. Please disregard their words, you are a Muslim, you are way beyond her; Like the distance between heaven and earth.”
@ tunkad_4u said:
“Nicki Minaj is a learner of your personality because you have piety and a good sense of humor.”
@goodconstantine said:
“Absolutely. You almost look like her. I love Nicki but it took a bit of work to look like what she does today.”
@Red_negro_ said:
“Lmao. Opened this thread to admire the beautiful girl just to see that no one in the comments hates someone taller than her entire lineage. Oh crazy.”
@MosesRhyris said:
“All those people who say she shouldn’t compare all have Nicki Minaj songs loaded into their phones… Hypocrites.”
Meanwhile, Briefly.co.za reported earlier that the rapper posted a video montage of her debut album on her social media platform to celebrate the tenth year since its release and fans couldn’t believe how much time had passed since the release from Pink Friday 10 years ago.
The album obviously meant a lot to Nicki’s fans as they immediately flooded the comments section with posts of memorable moments associated with the album and the importance of the work to them even 10 years later.
