Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Left Twitter

American Music Award winning artist Nicki Minaj is back on Twitter after her sudden departure on April 15th. Some sources speculated that Nicki was prompted to delete her account by a conflict with fan site NickiDaily.com, which had leaked tracks off her album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded before the official release date.

However, Nicki recently clarified the situation to Capital FM: “I saw them tweeting away exclusive leaks off my album. … So I just unfollowed them. I didn’t say anything mean, I just unfollowed them. And then lo and behold, I saw they were rallying people against me and saying ‘She unfollowed us, how mean is she.’ … Well let’s set the record straight because a lot of times I don’t speak on things, but I don’t want people to think that’s why I deleted my Twitter, no. I just needed a moment to myself. … I mean I’ve read horrible things about myself, I wouldn’t delete my Twitter over that.” Click below to watch the interview now:

Although Nicki is back on Twitter, she still has a ways to go before reaching her former count of 11 million followers. However, Minaj is making good time, as she’s already regained almost 3 million followers in the span of a day.
