Rap star Nicki Minaj is shooting down reports that her back up dancers had anything to do with the death of the 21-year-old Irish foreign exchange student Nicola Furlong.


The student was found dead after a Nicki Minaj concert in Japan and after spending an evening with an alleged Nicki backup dancer.

Nicki took to Twitter to call out Perez Hilton's blog site which claimed James Blackston - one of the men being held for questioning in the murder - was one of Nicki's dancers. 


Nicki tweeted directly to Perez:




"@PerezHilton my dancers had nothing to do w/this tragedy. No one in my entourage was questioned or arrested. They all flew home from Japan." 


"@PerezHilton that person on your sight is NOT my dancer. We do NOT know the men in custody. Too much misleading information.”


Nicki also tweeted to the family of Nicola:


"Saddened to learn one of my precious fans found tragically (dead) in Japan. My love & prayers are with the family of Nicola Furlong."


Japanese police are continuing the investigation and two Americans supposedly have been arrested.
