Nicki Minaj shows her philanthropic side with charity work in IndiaNicki Minaj, Instagram

Singer Nicki Minaj, who is often known for posting raunchy photos, has shown her lesser-known side on Instagram. The singer took to Instagram to talk about the charity work she has been doing in India for the last two years.

After paying off college loans and tuition fees of several of her fans, she has now revealed about her other charity works. In the last couple of years, the singer has been sending money to a village in India as part of the charity. She shared a video and couple of photos to talk about her philanthropic efforts.

"This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the most proud. The money I've sent to this village in India for the last couple years (via my Pastor Lydia Sloley), has gotten them a computer centre, a tailoring institute, a reading programme and two water wells," she captioned the video in which a man is seen holding a newly installed hand pump.

"We complain about the most ridiculous little things when some people don't even have clean water. Blessings to India. Our work is far from done. I'll tell you guys more about my charity work in the near future in case you'd like to be a part of it. Love."

In another post, Minaj shared photos of a few Indian women sitting on the floor and listening to the host. "I'm so proud of our sisters in India. God is so good. Their desire was to have water wells and places where they can worship, places where they can learn technology, computers, reading, etc. We're just getting started. These women are us and we are them," she captioned the image.

Last week, the singer helped a few students to pay their loans, buy books and pay tuition fees. The singer also said that she will soon be officially launching a charity for Student Loans/Tuition Payments.
