Nicki Minaj offered fans some assistance with their college tuition fees Saturday night, as long as they could provide evidence of their expenses. Replying to one fan who asked about assistance with her school costs, Minaj offered to set up a "contest" for the cause. Pretty soon she was overwhelmed with requests from struggling students. 

Nicki replied to a great deal of the tweets, some of which were simply asking for help paying for textbooks while others were hoping for subsidized tuition. Minaj was happy to help anyone who could show her proper proof of straight-A grades and their fees. She replied to close to 30 people, agreeing to pay as much as $6,000 to one fan in need.

Nicki promised to make the payments on Sunday, and to do another round of donations in a month or two. She joked that she may not "have any money left" after agreeing to help so many fans.

Minaj just released her video for her single "Regret In Your Tears" and appeared in the visual for David Guetta's "Light My Body Up." She is expected to release her fourth studio album later this year.
