Nicki Minaj has been invited to appear at a New York high school after being rejected last week by her former high school, LaGuardia High School. In a statement, Hempstead Board of Education President, Lamont Johnson said:
"Hempstead School District, which has had some recent hardships, feels it would be a boost to their students. I think we have a very good 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."
After Nicki tweeted about the rejection by her old school, a rep for the school explained that they declined her appearance because she wanted to bring cameras on campus.
"Of course alumni are welcome back to our campuses and we love to celebrate their success, providing it does not interrupt the educational process. Alumni visit all the time and address students. However, we do not allow reality TV to be filmed on school property. For documentaries, any visit to a public school must be educational in nature and cannot intrude on instruction."
