A fan expressed disappointment that Minaj could find time to tweet about her song but not acknowledge the horrific Orlando massacre.

I'm kind of offended that Nicki could tweet about a song but can't acknowledge the shootings in Orlando. :////

.@NICKIMINAJ you plan on tweeting about the tragedies that took place this past weekend orrrrrr?

A few minutes later, the fan tweeted: “Nicki unfollowed me because I called her out for promoting her song and not even acknowledging the tragedies.”

Minaj’s actions soon turned into a heated debate on Twitter, about whether or not celebrities should use their platforms to speak out on social issues or times of national mourning.

My thing is, Nicki Minaj can run to social media and tweet and comment on everything else but not on the tragedies in Orlando?

I'm bothered by the fact you haven't said anything about the Orlando shooting, @NICKIMINAJ esp when such a huge part of your fans are gay ?

. @NICKIMINAJ would not have a career if it wasn't for the LGBT community, yet she can't be bothered to mention Orlando when we need support

I love love love Nicki Minaj, but how do you have a huge gay fan base and not acknowledge Orlando? And instead promote a new song…

Minaj began favoriting tweets from fans defending her right to tweet or not tweet as she sees fit.

Nicki eventually laughed off the criticism, tweeting: “U bet ur bottom dollar. ???God is sooooo good. Love u guys. Thank u??????”

Britney Spears:

I have not been able to find words to express how I feel about what happened in Orlando. Music and dance take me to a wonderful, happy, safe place… and for this to happen in a place where people enjoy those things makes me so sad. This has to stop. We need to accept and love people for who they are. This is truly an attack against all of us, and I'm praying that we can join together and find a solution. ❤️????
