Nicki Minaj has officially changed the name of her fandom and NOBODY saw it coming!
The rapper dropped the bombshell on Monday with a shady Tweet directed at the media, telling them that her fans are now known as “The Kingdom,” not Barbz.
Dear media: they're no longer called BARBZ. They're called #TheKINGDOM thank you for coming. Grab some coffee on your way out. 🦋

Understandably, her Barbz Kingdom freaked the HELL out because clearly no one even knew this was a thing, it literally came outta nowhere!

Nicki herself even responded to the confusion. Here’s what she said to a fan who isn’t too happy about how it sounds to say “I’m a barb” vs “I’m a kingdom.”

And when another fan asked if this means her fans are now just “peasants,” she clarified:
