However, Minaj took to the photo sharing site on Monday to share the sad news of her young fan's passing, posting a collage of pictures of the tot, including one in which she is wearing a pink wig alongside her idol.

Minaj added the caption, "I can't believe this little angel is gone. When I met her she was recovering. Sending love to her mother and family and John (Wall). This is heartbreaking. She was so full of life. RIP Miyah."
