Nicki Minaj Told Me To Follow Her On Pleek, So I Did, And Now I'm Confused

I tried the app because I couldn't say no to Nicki.

As someone who pays close attention to Nicki Minaj's Instagram account (for many reasons), I take note when she drops something out of the ordinary.

So when Nicki posted an Instagram on Wednesday saying, "YOOOO!!!! I'm on that new app called @pleekapp ! Add me NOW and lets pleek!!!" I figured it was only right to listen. After all, I wanted to pleek with Nicki. What did it mean to pleek with Nicki? I didn't know. But I wanted to pleek with Nicki.

It turns out Pleek is an app where you take and send pictures and can add words and stickers onto those pictures and then make a collage out of them (so, yes, basically taking elements of all the apps you use right now and slapping them together).

According to TechCrunch, the app's co-founder calls it "picture messaging with a twist," and in addition to Nicki's support, Diddy is an investor.

This morning, I downloaded it and tried to navigate my way through. Here's what happened.

Opening screen. Whatever this means.

Now I'm just sending pictures to myself because I'm my only friend on Pleek besides Nicki, who probably won't be responding. And yes, I have a Rick Ross Styrofoam cup and Ja Rule's autobiography at my desk.

This is a picture Nicki sent to her 10,000 or so followers. I responded by approving, with some help from Kanye.

This is how everyone else felt about her pic.

So here is a collage of all of the responses to Nicki's pic. I guess I send this to my friends now? Or post it on Facebook?

Well, I'm still confused. But I'm not the only one.

Whoever teaches her, please teach me.

Or maybe I'll just give up like this person.

I still love you, Nicki.
