Nicki Minaj's Cousin Murdered

Devastating.

We’re very sad to report that Nicki Minaj‘s cousin, Nicholas, war murdered in Brooklyn, NY last night.

The rapper took to Twitter to share the heartwrenching news.

She writes:

*My cousin Nicholas. Also goes by Juse, or @brolicalcoholic* Murdered. Last nite. Near his home. Brooklyn,NY

How awful. We can’t even imagine how difficult this must be for her right now.

Our thoughts go out to Nicki and her family, as well as Nicholas’ friends and loved ones.

Stay strong.
