Nicki Minaj Shares Photo With Brother Nearly One Month After Bailing Him Out of Jail

The holiday season is made for family time, and that's exactly howNicki Minaj is spending it. 

On Wednesday, Minaj, 32, shared a pic on Instagram of a night out with her loved ones, including her older brother Jelani Maraj, 37, who she bailed out of jail earlier this month. 

"Bowling con mi familia," the rapper captioned the picture. 

In the photo, Minaj takes front and center wearing a full face of makeup and bangs as her family fills in around her, with her brother on the left of the photo, for a group selfie. 
Maraj was charged in early December for first-degree rape of a child younger than 13 and first-degree sexual conduct against a child. Minaj, posted her brother's $100,000 bail. 

The accusations came just months after the musician's older brother married his fiancée Jacqueline Robinson in Baldwin, New York, in August. Minaj was also in attendance at the wedding and took to Instagram later on to post a heartfelt message about the nuptials. 
I would cross the ocean for u," she captioned a snap from the wedding. "I would go & bring u the moon. Promise u. For u I will. I love my brother so much man. Can't believe I cried during his wedding and his first dance like a punk. May God bless him and his union. Tonight has been one of my favorite nights of all time. I do anything to see my brothers smile."

Nicki Minaj Gives Fan A Helpful Gift While Christmas Shopping

With Christmas just hours away, Nicki Minaj, like most of us, is doing some last minute shopping. But unlike the rest of us, Nicki Minaj can’t simply go shopping and not merit any attention.

On Thursday evening (December 24) the Pinkprint artist took to her Instagram to post a video of a fan who eagerly wanted her attention and a Christmas gift. Nic, who was apparently in the giving mood, kindly obliged.

But the fun didn’t stop there. While in the shoe department two men, one allegedly named Meek, also fanned out when they saw Minaj.  Nic, completely unbothered by their theatrics did however get a good laugh and so did her 42.7 million Instagram followers.Source:http://www.vibe.com/2015/12/nicki-minaj-instagram/
