Pop star Nicki Minaj caused quite a stir on Twitter after she unfollowed a fan who criticized her.

Earlier this week, the raptress took to Twitter to promote her new song with DJ Mustard and Jeremih, and that's when the fan expressed disappointment over the fact that she had yet to say anything about the mass shooting in Orlando.

The fan who goes by Johnny on Twitter said that he's "kind of offended that Nicki could tweet about a song but can't acknowledge the shootings in Orlando."

Minutes later, he returned to the micro-blogging site to reveal that Minaj had just unfollowed him. "LMFAOOOO NICKI UNFOLLOWED ME FOR MY TWEETS," he said and shared a proof in another tweet.
 

Minaj's decision to block the fan only worsened the situation.

Some fans defended the Trinidad-born superstar, saying she's not "obligated" to speak on social issues.

Meanwhile, some others argued that she should say something about the tragedy since a lot of her fans were part of LGBT community.

Minaj hasn't responded to the backlash. She has been busy promoting her "Don't Hurt Me" on social media by retweeting fans and posting links to article about the song, which came out on June 15.
