A Nicki Minaj fan in Nigeria was overwhelmed when the star responded to one of her posts on X.
Ramat Victory had expressed disappointment that Nigeria was not included in Nicki's 2024 tour.
The rapper, who has been following Ramat on X since March, replied urging the Nigerian fan to sign Nigeria up on the tour website, hinting that it could make a difference to where she performs.
Nicki started her response in Nigerian pidgin with "abeg" and then said "Naija no de carry last".
Following the thread, Nigerian fans online are now getting excited about the prospect of her world tour including their country.
The hip-hop star released her pre-sale tickets online on 17 November, which did not originally include any African countries.
Minaj's verified account responded on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying: "Abeg sign up where it says 'if you don't see your city' so that when I get to Africa your city/country will be there."
Ramat told the BBC: "It was the best thing ever. I cannot describe it, my head was in the sky, I never expected it.
"I spoke in Pidgin to see what she would do and she responded back in Pidgin. I was amazed".
After this, Ramat posted asking all Nicki Minaj fans in Nigeria to sign up so the tour could come to Nigeria.
One fan said: "I don't care if it's my wedding or honeymoon.. just give us a date! I will be there."
Another said: "I might just sell my father's house if she decides to come."
This comes as many music fans have been discussing why Africa has not been included on world tours by many foreign artists.
Ramat said: "There's a big potential market for artists in Africa and when superstars do world tours and don't include us, it's sad."
She added: "I do hope she will come to Nigeria, where she is very much loved. I've loved her from day one."
