'A Voice' In Nicki Minaj's Head Told Her To Quit Twitter

As of Friday afternoon (April 20), Nicki Minaj has been absent from Twitter for five days, keeping the Barbz on a sharp lookout for her return.

Minaj deactivated the account in a fit of frustration on Sunday, but during her current press run in the U.K., she admits that she's still pondering if or when she will get back on the social media site. In an interview with Graham Norton, Nicki explained that one of the many personalities in her head — we're assuming it wasn't Roman this time — told her to quit Twitter.

"A voice in my head told me to delete my Twitter and that's what I did," she said, adding, "I had 11 million followers and I hope they will wait for me."

Norton specifically asked when she planned to get back on her timeline, but she wouldn't confirm anything, telling him, "I don't know yet, I'm thinking about it. I miss my Barbz, please bear with me."

Nicki disappeared from Twitter over the weekend after getting into a spat with one of her fan sites, NickiDaily, which she took issue with for posting leaked music from her Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded album. "Like seriously, it's but so much a person can take. Good f---ing bye," she wrote before signing off indefinitely.

The leak was Nicki's breaking point, but it's very possible that she was also getting fed up with some of the feedback she's been receiving since she dropped Roman Reloaded.

For now, Barbz shouldn't be too worried about Nicki being permanently absent from Twitter. She will be able to reactivate her account even after several weeks of inactivity, and thanks to her verified status, no one will be allowed to inherit her @NickiMinaj handle without the permission of Twitter employees.

'The Voice' Results: Cheesa And Mathai Sent Packing

On Monday's episode of "The Voice," coaches Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine instantly eliminated James Massone and fan favorite Pip after both gave middling performances. On Tuesday night (April 24), after America's vote saved former Mouseketeer Tony Lucca and Jamar Rogers, Katrina Parker and Mathai from Team Adam and Cheesa and Juliet Simms from Team Cee Lo were given one last shot to stay in the competition by performing to earn their respective judge's lone save.
Florence and the Machine opened the show in typically ethereal fashion with their new single "Breath of Life" from the "Snow White and the Huntsmen" soundtrack. Surrounded by ballerinas in flowing dresses and backed by Team Cee Lo, Florence Welch's belting had coach Christina Aguilera nodding along in her chair.
Up first in Tuesday's sing-off was Team Adam's Mathai, who changed up her quirky indie style radically to show off a different side of her voice by going country with Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova." Her teammate Katrina Parker followed and delivered yet another full-voiced performance, this time of Pink's "Perfect.
Blake called Katrina "the best singer on [Adam's] team," and Christina agreed, complimenting her song choice and saying that of anyone on Adam's team, Katrina was the singer Xtina was most interested in hearing original material from.
Adam had a tough time with the decision. A really, really tough time. As in, he went on and on about how both singers had come into their own late in the competition and how they had surprised him throughout. He was effusive with praise and rambled on like he was trying to delay the inevitable. Finally, he went with the same big voice he saved last time around.
Adam's Save: Katrina Parker
Team Cee Lo's last-chance singers took the stage next. Cheesa's faithful take on "Already Gone" earned a pretty tough technical critique from all the judges, with each commenting that she was under pitch for the entire performance until the final note, which she nailed. They went easier on Simms, who sang Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn," but Christina still was vocal about wanting more from the singer.
Cee Lo was as complimentary as Adam but far more decisive.
Cee Lo's Save: Juliet Simms
