Nicki Minaj Denies Backup Dancer's involvement in Tokyo Murder

Rap Superstar Nicki Minaj is denying that one of her backup dancers was involved in a murder that took place in Tokyo, Japan after a Minaj concert, according to OhNoTheyDidn't.

21-year-old Nicki fan Nicole Furlong, a foreign exchange student from Ireland, was found strangled in her hotel room. Hours earlier, she was at the concert. But here's where the allegations begin:

The controversy began when Perez Hilton alleged on May 30 that one of those arrested on suspicion of rape and murder was a backup dancer for Minaj. This did not go over well with Minaj, who took to Twitter to refute the claim.

"My dancers had nothing to do w/this tragedy. No one in my entourage was questioned or arrested. They all flew home from Japan," she tweeted Thursday. She added, "@PerezHilton that person on your sight is NOT my dancer. We do NOT know the men in custody. Too much misleading information."
