...so terribly sad for her to lose him but to have this added layer, just heart rendering...


The 64-year-old father of the rapper Nicki Minaj has died after being struck by a hit-and-run driver in New York, police said.

Robert Maraj was walking along a road in Mineola on Long Island at 6.15pm on Friday when he was hit by a car that kept going, Nassau county police said.

Maraj was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead on Saturday. Police are asking any witnesses to the fatal crash to come forward.

Minaj, 38, was born Onika Tanya Maraj in Trinidad and was raised in the New York City borough of Queens. She has not made any public statement about her father’s death.

...this is so awfully and hideously representative of media intrusion...


‘An email seeking comment was sent to a representative for Minaj.’



...what ‘comment’ is expected from someone who has just lost her father, if and when she feels she wants to make any comment, she will...

How very sad.

Awful to lose a parent however it happens but to lose them to a hit and run knowing the person just left him there after hitting him...devastating.
