Nicki Minaj broken her silence regarding the false accusations of the murder of a female fan following after her recent concert in Tokyo, Japan.

The HipHopBlog reports one of the suspects in the crime is reportedly a background dancer for Minaj’s tour; but Minaj herself denies that the man has any affiliation with her or her entourage.

The fan, 21-year old Irish exchange student Nikola Furlong and her friend were approached by the two men after the concert and were pushed into a taxi, according to witnesses.

The suspects are Americans James Blackston and an unnamed 19-year-old backing musician.

Indications are that Furlong was strangled.
