Nicki Minaj s father, Robert Maraj, has died after a fatal hit-and-run accident, her representative Joseph Carozza confirmed to USA TODAY.
Maraj was crossing the street in Long Island when he was struck by a vehicle, which then fled the scene, according to the Nassau County Police. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition on Friday and pronounced dead the following day. He was 64.
Minaj, born Onika Tanya Maraj in Trinidad and Tobago and raised in Queens, New York, has not yet spoken publicly about his death.
The 38-year-old rapper gave birth to her first child with husband Kenneth Petty last September in Los Angeles. Minaj announced that she was expecting her first child in July 2020, just a few months after the performer said she would be retiring.
