NICKI MINAJ CHARGED FROM USING EXPLETIVE AT REGGAE SUMFEST IN JAMAICA

Following her performance this past weekend at Jamaica’s Reggae Sumfest, Nicki Minaj has been fined for using expletives during her set and pleaded guilty to the charges. The Harajuku Barbie absently paid the J$1,000 fine, which roughly equates to $11.70 in US.

Minaj, who was not in court, sent her local attorney Hugh Thompson to handle the case.

It is not certain whether or not 28-year-old Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj, was in the island when it the matter was being dealt with in court.

Minaj who shot to prominence locally after a remix of Gyptian’s Hold You was released in early last year. On Saturday night she rocked a capacity audience attending the final night of this year’s staging of Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay.

Her performance, a first in Jamaica, contained many of her popular tracks, but was peppered with expletives accentuated by sexually suggestive dance moves.

The artiste later gushed on her Twitter page, “I had the time of my life at Reggae Sumfest… Jamaica I fell in love tonight,” she tweeted.

The Police reportedly handed Minaj the summons as she exited the Catherine Hall Complex following her performance in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The Young Money rapstress was handed the summons as she exited the stage early on Sunday morning.
