Nicki Minaj shocked by fans' determination to take her photo

Nicki Minaj has been left shocked by the lengths some fans will go to to snap a photo of the rap sensation after witnessing one girl narrowly avoid a car accident in Los Angeles.

The Starships hitmaker admits she rarely gets the chance to drive her luxury pink Bentley out and about anymore because the brightly-colored vehicle draws too much attention.

And she was left wide-eyed when she saw one devotee literally risk her life just to take a picture of her pop idol.

Minaj tells Ellen DeGeneres, "Everyone is taping me, like filming me (in her pink car) alongside the highway. People are like, willing to have an accident. A girl literally cut through traffic and made a U-turn so she could put her car in front of my car so she could take a picture."
