 Nicki Minaj: Pays tribute to fan found dead after concert
Rapper Nicki Minaj has paid tribute to a fan who died following one of her recent concerts.
Nicola Furlong, an Irish student, was found dead in her Tokyo hotel room after attending the rapper's 'Pink Friday' gig at Zepp Toyko just hours earlier.
"Saddened to learn one of my precious fans; found tragically (dead) in Japan," Minaj tweeted. "My love & prayers are with the family of Nicola Furlong."
The student was in Tokyo as an exchange student from Dublin City University and was due to return back to Ireland in July.
The International Business Times reports that, the police have arrested an American back-up dancer named James Blackston and a 19-year-old musician in connection with Furlong's death.
As has been speculated, the men were associated with Minaj, but the star has since confirmed that they are not part of her team in any way.
Minaj tweeted: "My dancers had nothing to do w/this tragedy. No one in my entourage was questioned or arrested. They all flew home from Japan."
