Nicki Minaj's The Barbz Foundation spreads love and relief in Jamaica

Global rap queen Nicki Minaj is proving her love for Jamaica goes beyond the music, joining forces with dancehall star Skeng to bring much-needed relief to families torn apart by Hurricane Melissa.

Videos lighting up social media show Skeng on the ground with Minaj's crew, who proudly wore shirts marked "The Barbz Foundation," handing out food packages, stoves, cooking gas, and other essentials to grateful residents in western Jamaica.

Minaj herself took to X to confirm that the mission isn't over, writing, "Plus tmrw & possibly longer. One Love, Jamaica. Love you," followed by the Jamaican flag and a heart emoji.

The hurricane left a trail of destruction across the island, flattening homes and leaving many in darkness, but the generous act from the "Megatron" hitmaker and her local collaborators is giving hope and comfort to those rebuilding from the storm's wrath.
