Nicki Minaj shocked the twitterverse Sunday (April 15) when the leader of the Barbz deactivated her Twitter account in a huff, prompting millions of her followers to demand her return.

“Like seriously, its but so much a person can take. Good f**king bye,” was her last tweet before @NickiMinaj went dark.

The hashtag #NickiComeBack became a trending topic shortly after she deleted her account, as Barbz everywhere attampted to appeal to her in 140 characters or less.

While Minaj didn’t explicitly say why she decided to drop her Twitter handle, it was likely fueled by a few twitter tiffs she had with some of her fans. Before going dark, she blocked @NickiDaily, an account from a fan site that she said leaked music from her album.

A day before she pulled the plug, she gave some indication that trouble was brewing. She sent out the following tweets:

“And that’s exactly why I’m paying the barbz DUST right now! And deleting my twitter. Smdh – don’t cry 4 me argentina.”

“On 2nd thought I’ll just follow a new set of barbz. The ones I follow r very mean and ratchet.*side eyes them*”

@NickiDaily was shut down since the kerfuffle and Nickidaily.com redirects to nicki-minaj.org.

The recent dustup happened less than a week since Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, debuted at No. 1 with more than 25o,000 sold.
