Nicki Minaj's Backup Dancer Suspected Of Rape And Murder

We're shocked to report that one of Nicki Minaj's backup dancers has been arrested on suspicion of rape and murder.

And the victim was a Nicki Minaj fan, according to Perez Hilton.

James Blackston has allegedly been accused of strangling and sexually assaulting Nicola Furlong, a 21 year old Irish student, who was found dead the morning after attending one of Nicki Minaj's Tokyo concerts.

It has been reported that Nicola, along with her friend Sarah Maher, had gone back to Blackston's hotel room after the show.

And things definitely seem to have gotten out of hand.

Sarah, who survived the incident, went straight to the police with reports that she had been sexually assaulted by both James Blackston and musician Larry Perry, who shared the hotel room.

Nicola, sadly, was found to have been strangled to death in the hotel room.

Both Blackston and Perry are reportedly in police custody as an investigation is carried out into Nicola's death but, from here, it doesn't look very good, does it?

Nicki Minaj has yet to talk to the press about the accusations made against her backup dancer.
