This makes the situation even more devastating! Relatives of Nicki Minaj have spoke to RadarOnline, and revealed that they believe the recent murder of her cousin Nicholas Telemaque was a case of ‘mistaken identity’. So sad. Read details after the jump.
The slaying of Telemaque, 27, during the early hours of Monday morning has left Minaj, 26, and her relatives heartbroken. He was shot close to his home in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, around 2.40 am after he left the C-PAC nightclub with a group of friends.
His cousin Carol Clarke told RadarOnline.com: “He was shot in the chest as he walked towards his car close to his home. Nicki is absolutely devastated as are all our family – she was very close to her cousin but now he has gone.
“She has reached-out to Nicholas’ mom Victoria to offer her words of comfort but she is too distraught. Nicholas was a quiet person but he could be the life and soul of the party too – he did not run with gangs or anything like that.
“His friends have told us there wasn’t any trouble that night and we believe it could have been a case of mistaken identity but the police are still investigating the case.
“We are still trying to make arrangements for his funeral but I will really miss him because he was a good person.â€
