Nicki Minaj Fans Line Up, Get Duped by Scam Artists

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 23rd 2010 11:31AM

Totally amped Nicki Minaj fans at at least two American colleges lined up to buy tickets to see her live on campus, but there was one problem: Minaj didn't know about them. The news broke out after Minaj was sent a picture on Twitter of fans lining up to buy tickets to a concert of hers that wasn't scheduled. Loads of students and eager fans were scammed, according to the BBC.

"Wut [sic] concert?" Minaj asked on Twitter. "Never heard of it. I feel so bad 4 ppl who were scammed."

The known schools to be targeted include Michigan State University and Jackson State University. Minaj quickly added that her legal team was already on the case and that "way more schools that were scammed." She also raised the fact that she doesn't even go back on tour until a week after the fake concerts were scheduled on October 8th and 15th.

Naturally, most of Minaj fans weren't too happy about the scam. "My whole school slept outside for Nicki Minaj tix & she tweetin it's a scam," one of Minaj's followers tweeted.

According to the report, Minaj posted the name and phone number of the alleged scam concert promoter.

Minaj is signed to Lil' Wayne's label, and is on track to release her debut album 'Pink Friday' in November. She's currently riding high on the charts with 'Your Love.' WATCH:

Hey people writing articles for MTV...just because the school initials are MSU doesn't automatically mean it's Michigan State. (guess no one knows how to use google?) The scam actually occurred at MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY in NJ...you know, about 45 minutes away from your office in NYC??? Retraction please!!!

Portia di Rossi whose real name is Amanda Lee Rogers was a socialite in the London Club scene about 15 years ago. She was born and raised in Australia by ordinary parents. I always thought the name Portia di Rossi sounded so very phoney. However, she is beautiful; a marvellous actress and has found love with someone with whom she is obviously very happy. So Bravo "Portia".oh great article ,My boyfriend and i both think so ...He is almost 11year older than me .i met him via kissmilita ry.c' oma nice place for s'ee'king Army, Navy, Mari'nes, Air Force, Police Force and their admires.just love it
