She may be a superstar singer, but Nicki Minaj's request to give a pep talk to students at her former high school was rejected.

Believe it or not, the principal of Minaj's former school is Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts, just turned her down, ET Online reported.

Minaj, 31, became a worldwide phenomenon ever since her debut album in 2010.

On Friday (Sept 12) morning, the 31-year-old tweeted:

I wanted to go back to my HS and speak to the students but the new principal declined. No need for me to inspire them, I guess. Smh

That school changed my life and I wanted to pay it forward to the students there now. I was really looking forward to it.

Her Twitter followers were equally disappointed.

It's a WOMAN. And not really > RT @JorianTM: @NICKIMINAJ wooow that's so unfair. Did he give any reason why?”

I guess I'm not good enough > RT “@BiggestBoyBarb: @NICKIMINAJ that is SO wrong! Students need all the inspiration they can get!!”

But soon they rallied around the star, assuring her that her story would have been nothing short of inspirational for the students.

@NICKIMINAJ You're a great motivational speaker, so it's unfortunate that the principal rejected a great opportunity for the students.

RT @shannieluvvv: That's crazy. Her story has and will continue to inspire many people. From where she came from and where she is now.

How could the principal pass up such an amazing opportunity, just baffles me

I'm still in disbelief that the principal declined her visitation to motivate. Does she not know how much Nicki impacts this generation?

Other famous alumni from the New York City high school include Jennifer Aniston, Liza Minnelli and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Poor Nicki!
