Nicki Minaj Returns from Twitter 'Sabbatical'

She’s back! After a month away from Twitter, Nicki Minaj has reunited with her Barbz in cyberspace.

“MAY YOU HAVE A HAPPY, BLESSED, AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!! MMMMUUUUAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!” tweeted Nicki in her first tweet since December 5. “*kisses my babies* Hi Barbz!!!!!!! muah! muah! mmmmuuuaaahhhh!!!! LOVE U!!!! What’s been going on?!?!?!!?”

The Young Money rapper, who has over 15 million followers, explained her absence. “I didn’t leave barbz, I was still here in spirit and u guys KNOW that so stop with the dramatics!!! LMAO. come sit in my lap.”

While she was gone, she celebrated her birthday, Christmas, and New Year’s. “ok, this last birthday was hands down my best in my lifetime. I’d like to thank my team, my fans and Australia for the out pour of LOVE,” she said. “Thank you to Dubai as well. You guys were an absolute joy to perform for. Thank you NY for Xmas and Vegas for NYE. NYE WAS FUN FUN FUN.”

Last April, she deleted her Twitter account, only to reinstate it weeks later. But this time, her absence wasn’t deliberate.

“I really didn’t plan on leaving barbz! =( just sorta happened…I learned a lot on my little sabbatical tho… so enlightening, so peaceful,” shared Nicki.

She returned just in time for the premiere of “American Idol” on January 16. She also plans to shoot a video for “I’m Legit” with Ciara or the Lil Wayne-assisted “High School” in the coming month.
