Nicki Minaj Deletes Twitter Account Following Album Leak Bust-Up

Hip-hop and RnB star Nicki Minaj has dramatically deleted her Twitter account following a bust-up with followers over the weekend.
Minaj got into an angry 140-character sulk after a Twitter user began posting previews of her forthcoming new album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' online, against Minaj's wishes. After a number of angry messages and posts, the star finally decided that enough was enough – and deleted her account with the following message:
“And that's exactly why I'm paying the barbz dust right now! And deleting my twitter. Smdh [shaking my damn head] - don't cry for me Argentina. Like seriously, only so much a person can take. Good fucking bye.”
Some may not see the move as something big, but Twitter is a big part of mainstream music nowadays – with people like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Rihanna all using the site to interact with their fans in a way not previously imaginable. But, the action to delete the page isn't permanent until 30 days have passed – so Minaj has around a month to decide whether she is definitely done with tweeting.
