Somebody wanted the world to believe that Nicki Minaj‘s brother Jelani Maraj was assaulted in prison.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, it didn’t happen.

Minaj’s mother’s answer to the drama below…

Jelani was found guilty of raping a child in his care last year and was imprisoned to protect other from his ghastly perversions.

Disowned by his chart-topping sister, Maraj has now learned that a video which claimed to show him being assaulted in prison had surfaced online.

The trouble with this clip? It wasn’t him.

Carol Maraj, Minaj’s mother, issued the statement below…

Minaj is yet to address her brother’s crimes.

Why do you think this fake story was pushed?
