Nicki Minaj is sticking by her family. The Queens rapper put up a pair of homes she owns in Long Island as collateral to bail out her brother, Jelani Maraj, 37, who has been charged with raping a 12-year-old girl.
Reports Page Six:
Court papers reveal the superstar singer put up the $100,000 bond that sprang Jelani Maraj, 37, from custody in Nassau County on Friday after he was accused of first-degree rape and first-degree sexual conduct against the preteen.
The bond is backed by a two homes in Baldwin that are owned by Minaj — one of which is used by her brother and the other by her mother, Carol.
“She was prepared to do anything for her brother,” a source said of Minaj.
Minaj will be responsible for the fees associated with securing the the bond, typically 6 percent to 10 percent of the bond amount, or $6,000 to $10,000.
Back in August, Minaj paid for her older brother’s dream wedding.
Mums has been the word from Minaj on social media about this personal matter. Don’t bank on her commenting, too.
