Nicki Minaj Gives Away Turkeys in Her Old Neighborhood Ahead of Thanksgiving Day
‘Tis the season of giving for Nicki Minaj!
The rapper, 35, returned to her old neighborhood in Queens on Wednesday to hand out turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving Day. Staying warm in the frigid New York weather, Minaj looked cozy in her black track pants, matching hoodie, and metallic coat.
Her fans, who lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the rapper, went crazy when she finally arrived with her mom Carol by her side. In videos captured by a fan account, Minaj greeted the crowd and took several photos with fans before heading behind the table to hand out the Thanksgiving meals.
After giving out more than 500 turkeys to the South Jamaica residents, Minaj made sure to stop and take a photo with the New York City Police Department’s Commanding Officer Jerry O’Sullivan, who shared the shot on Twitter.
“I think the Commanding Officer was negotiating to become Nicki minaj‘s new manager,” the NYPD 113th Precinct tweeted. “Im pulling for you Inspector. #nikiminajturkeygiveaway”
