Last week, a design student asked singer Nicki Minaj to pay for his college tuition. Nicki Minaj promptly took C.J. up on his request and added a stipulation.

As expressed in the singer’s tweets, she is asking for some verification from with schools in order to confirm enrollment. What is interesting is that she is asking for personal banking information to be messaged directly to her.
Unfortunately, this could be end up duping the singer’s good intentions.
One of Nicki Minaj’s Twitter fans had a complaint with her high standards for being able to receive aid.
Let me talk to Gee. Idk how it works. But straight A students can use money for living. They can still use the money. https://t.co/nOdu56r9rN

From a politically correct perspective, this could be seen as intellectually discriminatory.
Now, from a conservative’s viewpoint, Nicki Minaj has every right to do what she wants with her money. She has been able to become extremely successful at providing a “good” that many find valuable.
Out of all the people that asked Nicki for assistance, most probably have not taken into account how much she expended in order to give her fans her help. Not only did she give tens of thousands dollars to her fans, it can be inferred that she designated this project to a team that we had to pay to manage. Altogether, Nicki could have exhausted hundreds of thousands dollars to fulfill as many promises as she could.
She concluded by saying:
Ok u guys. It’s been fun. Let me make those payments tmrw then see if I have any money left?. I’ll do some more in a month or 2. ???????????

The singer’s campaign should be seen as an example of what many leftists want to see: charity. Leftist must also recognize that if Nicki Minaj were taxed at a higher rate, like Senator Bernie Sanders advocates for, her ability to be a direct distributor of her own wealth would have been impossible.
FREE COLLEGE!
Congratulations, Nicki Minaj fans. You just took advantage of the benefits of free market capitalism, and you didn’t have to have socialist Senator Bernie Sanders to help you get it.
