Nicki Minaj is very protective of people who are close to her. Take her fifth grade teacher's son, Quinn, for example. 

Quinn has been getting bullied in school for a while now and revealed this on social media, along with his mother, Liz Smith-Breslin. When Minaj noticed this, she immediately jumped into action and gave the 10-year-old some encouraging words to make him feel better. 

"Dear Quinn, from the moment I met you (yes, the day u ran away from me b/c my pink lipstick scared you😩), I just knew you were on the road to greatness!" she captioned a reposted video. "I'm so proud of you for being so brave. Your mother changed my life as my fifth grade teacher & now I get to see her little Prince grow up and take on this world, head on! Anyone bullying you is simply just intimidated by your GREATNESS & POTENTIAL."

Check out Minaj's message to the bullied student below. 

Dear Quinn, from the moment I met you (yes, the day u ran away from me b/c my pink lipstick scared you😩), I just knew you were on the road to greatness!
