Nicki Minaj's old school tie forever loosened
You know how schools love a former pupil who's made it. Any chance they have to wheel them in - no matter how slim their claim to fame - and once again that 1996 Olympic fourth-placed canoeist will be on the stage handing out prizes.
Which makes it all the more surprising that when Nicki Minaj offered to do an event at her old High School, the school school said no thanks.
Oh, and this isn't because the school might be thinking that a career in pop music is a bit beneath what they want for their pupils. Minaj went to Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School. The school that they based Fame on.
