4. What was the controversy around Nicki Minaj's baby's name?

   On Friday (Oct. 16) Nicki Minaj checked a fan who lied about knowing the star's son's name and his face.

   A Twitter account wrote, “Welcoming Jeremiah Maraj-Petty. You are a blessing to us, and we love you so much." Alongside the caption was a photo of a baby dressed in turquoise.

   The post by @alzminaj received thousands of likes from fans who believed the information to be true, but Nicki Minaj was not having it.

   “116K likes. Not my baby. Not his name. Imagine doing this. Pls delete this person’s child from your page,” she wrote before blocking the Twitter account.

   

   After Nicki Minaj responded to the tweet, @alzminaj apologised. “Omg ya, [I] am deleting my existence,” read one tweet.

   In another tweet, the user wrote, “OK. I made the post as a joke, and I never knew how it would go.

   "[I] am really sorry to anyone I offended, I take all the blame, and [I] am really sorry to Nicki for offending her. I love you, and I hope you can forgive me.”
