Nicki Minaj Wants Giuseppe Zanotti To Donate to St. Jude After Collaboration Snub
Nicki Minaj spoke her mind about designer Giuseppe Zanotti after he snubbed her efforts to collaborate and now she wants him to make a charitable donation.
The famed shoe designer had been using Nicki‘s name on over 20 pairs of his sneakers without compensation and refused to take her calls about collaborating.
After Nicki took the issue to Twitter, the designer’s team responded by taking all shoes bearing her name off the website.
While Nicki admitted it was “a start,” she followed up by saying she didn’t want want compensation for the shoes but wanted the company to make a donation to St. Jude’s Childrens Hospital.
“I’d like them to donate to St. Jude’s Children’s hospital on my behalf. #GiuseppeWhatsGood Giorgina, I don’t wanna post your email…I’ll match whatever you give to #StJudesChildrensHospital up to half a million dollars. #23PairsOfSneakersLater yikes,” she wrote on her Twitter.
