We trust you Nicki! Over the weekend,  Nicki Minaj  had a bit of fun at  1 OAK  in Las Vegas celebrating  Halloween ! The  Anaconda  rapper was clearly getting into character as a fairy princess as she was seen waving her magic wand around. One video she posted from the night that gained a bit of negative attention showed Nicki waving her wand at whatappeared to be an unidentified woman in a wheelchair.
