American rapper Nicki Minaj has captivated the attention of Nigerians by showing her efforts to learn Pidgin English.
In a video shared on her social media, Minaj revealed that she is using Ayra Starr's hit song "Rush" as a learning tool. This move has sparked significant interest and admiration from her Nigerian fans.
Minaj's fascination with Pidgin English was further highlighted when she posted on her X (formerly Twitter) account, expressing herself in the language. She humorously wrote, "LMFAOOOO. Nigeria will not end me o! Sabi girl no Dey too like talk My words take the express elevator to the most high chi. I will show them pepper," referencing popular lyrics from Ayra Starr's song.
When asked by fans how she became familiar with Pidgin English, Minaj explained that she understood the language and even described herself as a "Sabi Girl," a term from the song. This interaction shows her genuine interest in Nigerian culture and language.
This isn't Minaj's first foray into African music. She previously collaborated with Afrobeats superstar Davido on the single "Holy Ground" and has teased an upcoming project featuring Burna Boy. Her ongoing engagement with Nigerian culture reflects a broader trend of global artists embracing African music and languages, fostering a rich cultural exchange.
