Minaj's true fans, nicknamed "The Barbz," praised her.
“Just enjoying life and your family queen, AS YOU SHOULD,” one fan tweeted. “I love you queen as a person that smoke weed a lot i get where u coming from so sending hugs & kisses ya way cause ifykyk [if you know you know] it’s hard to be happy without a blunt,” a second person wrote.
