As one of the only A List musicians to debut during the advent of social media, Nicki Minaj has had the surreal privilege of watching her fans grow up in real time online.
In 2019, one of these fans- a teen who went by the name Nas Maraj– used his position as a leading member of her fan base to become the ubiquitous Lil Nas X.
Alas, as his breakout tune ‘Old Town Road’ ruled the charts, a great deal of effort was made to erase his digital history with hopes doing would so erase Minaj’s impact on his life and career.
Today, the pair have put the past behind them.
Find out what happened when Minaj spotted his request for a collaboration on Twitter below…
It was a bit of a sting when you denied being a barb, but I understand. 🎀 Congratulations on building up your confidence to speak your truth. @LilNasX

Nas apologised.
the generous queen, i love u. and i’m sorry i did that in a time where u were already getting so much bandwagon hate. i felt so bad, hoping u wouldn’t see my denial. i was just so afraid of people finding out about me and losing everything before i even got a chance. pic.twitter.com/3kgJctDJt1

Unfortunately, some Minaj’s loyalists are unwilling to forgive and forget.
For, shortly after ‘Old Town Road‘ soared into the Billboard Hot 100, the Twitterverse learned that an influential account seemingly owned by an agreeable African-American woman (who went by the name @EmoBlackThot) was actually controlled by an African-American man who just so happened to be pals with….
Problematic for the Barbz…because the account published a number of disparaging remarks about Minaj when some fans believed that she was feuding with Ariana Grande…one of the artists who endorsed the account with likes and retweets before its owner was outed as a catfish.
Remember when emoblackthot tried to turn Nicki and Ariana against each other, which resulted in the barbz questioning his identity. And he was scared they would expose him so he decided to do the reveal which ultimately backfired. Ah, that’s history. Everyone thank the barbz. pic.twitter.com/2u5y1tzfvl

Lil nas x is a pathetic black gay man that likes kissing up to females.
I am disappointed in him.
Like seriously WTF is this weak bìtch behaviour he is displaying.
Nicki is literally belittling him.
He’s mature enough to say sorry. Nothing wrong with that.
Sorry about what exactly?
It’s not that serious for him to be doing all this
This cute , non threatening, black hòmo schtick he is doing is gonna get old real quick.
You described yourself.
Ugh
Somebody saw themselves in the comment I wrote.
This is exactly how u are
Ugly messy pathetic worthless black fàggot.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I feel sorry for u. 🤣
This lil punk looks unhealthy af, not even 100 pounds, Nicki ain’t gonna f-u-c-k with minor. She learned this sh#t with her brother. FOH
I’m so sick of her nasty attitude. Why not just say “thanks for supporting me”? Damn, always gotta be shady and rude. She should be lucky she has any fans left. Ugh. I cannot believe I used to give this woman my money
How was she shady and rude????!! It’s people
Like you that scream BLM but can’t wait to tear Nicki Minaj down..she said how she felt at the time when he denied it and also congratulated him on using his voice to speak his truth..smh
Nicki said what she said. He is a fraud then even went and put Bardi bird on a track! He wack af. I’m still supporting everybody black, especially my LGBTQ+ ppl!
If he’s admitting to being Nas Miraj, he can also apologize to Mariah for the hateful things he said about her. He’s only telling Nicki he’s sorry because he thinks apologies are transactional.
Everything he said about Mariah was accurate though. She is very successful but extremely insecure and doesn’t know how to connect with people on a normal one to one level. I’m sorry, but that season of American idol
Would have been insufferable without Nicki.
you barbz are weird.
