An artist needs a THICK skin to be on Twitter. Yes, they will be able to interact with lots of fans, but they will also get abuse thrown at them on a regular basis. If you can't deal then stay off Twitter. One other point, we take our lead from our faves - remember when Gaga was being constantly accused of being a man? She found it funny and even made it part of her show, so her fans felt no real need to be defensive about it. If the Barbz take their lead from Nicki in this then they will all throw their toys out of the pram, so to speak. I have no issue with her blocking the fan site, they betrayed her trust more than once, but she should not have risen to the insults. Maybe took a few days break from Twitter to cool down. I hope she starts up her Twitter again for the sake of her millions of fans who had nothing to do with this leak.
