Your birthday is the one day where your friends get to post a photo of you two on Instagram, typically doing something fun between your last birthday and the present. They look amazing. You look like you spent fourteen hours on a plane. But it's your birthday, so you don't really let it get you down. Beyoncé gave Nicki Minaj the social media birthday treatment, dedicating a rare Tumblr shout out to her. Bey posted Nicki's grainy yearbook photo, which acted as a subtle reminder of who Nicki was before Nicki was Nicki, i.e. Onika.
A seemingly overjoyed Minaj took to Instagram to celebrate:
Did you catch that? "lmfao at this pic but awwwww." In other words, "How could you post this picture of me? It's my birthday and you're still Beyoncé and no one can get mad at Beyoncé so FINE." Hey Nicki, we think you look awesome.
