Nicki
Minaj
has
a
lot
of
memories
attached
to
her
New
York
high
school.
So,
she
decided
to
speak
to
the
students
and
pay
a
visit
to
her
school.
However,
things
did
not
go
as
planned
or
expected.
When
Nicki
Minaj
approached
Fiorello
H.
LaGuardia
High
School
and
offered
to
make
an
appearance
as
part
of
a
treat
for
kids,
the
school
officials
turned
it
down!
Thus,
the
disappointed
Anaconda
singer
expressed
herself
on
twitter.
She
wrote,
"I
wanted
to
go
back
to
my
HS
and
speak
to
the
students
but
the
new
principal
declined.
No
need
for
me
to
inspire
them,
I
guess.
Smh
(shake
my
head)".
She
added,
"That
school
changed
my
life
and
I
wanted
to
pay
it
forward
to
the
students
there
now.
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
it."
After
the
tweets,
school
rep
and
principal
Dr.
Lisa
Mars
cleared
up
the
whole
situation.
They
stated
that
Minaj's
offer
was
rejected
as
she
wanted
to
bring
a
film
crew
with
her
to
document
the
visit,
which
would
be
a
violation
of
the
New
York
City
Department
of
Education's
child
privacy
policies.
On
the
other
side,
this
snub
has
made
Hempstead
Board
of
Education
president
Lamont
Johnson
offer
Nicki
Minaj
the
opportunity
to
stop
by
Hempstead
High
instead.
Johnson
said,
"Hempstead
School
District,
which
has
had
some
recent
hardships,
feels
it
(a
visit
by
Minaj)
would
be
a
boost
to
their
students...
We
have
several
challenges
and
I
want
our
children
to
believe
and
to
feel
that
they
have
a
chance...
"I
think
she's
a
person
that's
shown
that
she
didn't
forget
where
she's
from
and
I
think
Hempstead
schools
are
similar
to
the
area
that
she
came
from."
