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.

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."
