Nicki Minaj’s dad killed in a hit-and-run in Long Island

Nicki Minaj’s father was killed by a hit-and-run driver on Long Island, police said Sunday.

Robert Maraj, 64, was struck around 6 p.m. Friday as he was walking in Mineola, according to Nassau County Police. The driver fled before witnesses could get a clear look at who was behind the wheel, cops said.

The rap superstar’s dad was initially listed in critical condition at a local hospital but died from his injuries at some point over the weekend, police said.

Homicide detectives are investigating the crash and asking anyone who saw the collision at the intersection of Roslyn Road and Raff Avenue to come forward.

Minaj — who was born Onika Tanya Maraj and raised in Queens — reportedly had a rocky relationship with her father.
