Nicki Minaj explains why she deleted her Twitter account

Nicki Minaj has explained her reason for deleting her Twitter account, stating that she just needed some time to herself.

The singer removed her account earlier this month after an apparent spat with a fan site who had tweeted about leaked Minaj music.

Speaking to Capital FM, Minaj said however she didn't delete her account over the online row - she just wanted some time alone. When asked if she misses Twitter, Minaj said:

"I miss my Barbz. Do I actually miss Twitter? No, but I do miss my babies. Before the album came out I saw them tweeting away exclusive leaks off my album. And I was like, 'Well if you made a fan page I would imagine that you actually are my fan you care about me and you wouldn't want to do something like that'. So I just unfollowed them. I didn't say anything mean about them I just unfollowed them."

She continued: "And then lo and behold I saw they were rallying people against me and saying, 'She unfollowed us! How mean is she!'. But I don't want people to think that's why I deleted my Twitter. I just needed some time to myself. I wouldn't do it just because some page posted horrible things about me. I wouldn't delete my Twitter over that."
