Nicki Minaj is unhappy with her alma mater, La Guardia high school. In a recent tweet brigade, the "Anaconda" singer poured out her disappointment and hurt over the rejection that she received from the school she went to before pummelling her way to the top of the music industry. And all she wanted to was to inspire the students too. The high school already justified its position, but some students were indeed, equally disappointed as their idol.

The "Pills and Potions" singer took to Twitter lastThursday to blast her alma mater, Fiorello H. La Guardia High School in Manhattan for not taking her up on her offer to give an inspiring talk to the current students of the school and share her earlier experiences as a budding artist in the cutthroat music industry.

"I wanted to go back to my HS and speak to students, but the new principal declined," she tweeted. "No need to inspire them, I guess." Having 18 million followers, most of them young fans who probably study at the said school as well, the tweet proved controversial, reaching even the top officers of the school as well as parents of the students.

The singer shared she was really looking forward to it, but now thinks she's "not good enough."

The school however claimed that Minaj did not tell the whole story. The school officials stated that Nicki was not offering the talk out of her own volition. The visit was intended to be part of an MTV production involving a film crew that the school cannot allow on such a short notice and not when the school is already very busy with activities to meet the 9/11 anniversary. An alternative schedule was proposed to which Nicki's camp refused because of the artist's tight schedules.

Some parents and students took the school's side on this matter, claiming it was Nicki Minaj's inflexibility that caused her the chance to speak to the students and inspire them, NY Daily News reported.

"We have a STRICT policy about not allowing ANY camera crews to be in the school without permission slips from every parent. That would not have been possible, and Nicki Minaj did not want to speak to the students without her camera crew," said the parent, who requested not to be named because she did not have authority to give comments on the issue.

A student claimed it was wrong for Nicki to tweet negatively about their principal, who did not personally blocked the artist's chance to talk with the students. Rather, it was the DOE's decision.
