The alleged perpetrator of the fatal hit of Robert Maraj, Nicki Minaj’s father, was handed over to the authorities, local media reported on Wednesday.
According to the New York Post, the identity of the driver is still unknown, who ran over Maraj, 64, last Friday afternoon in the New York town of Mineola and fled.
The father of the person in charge of ‘Super Bass’ was then taken to a local hospital, where he died over the weekend, according to the Nassau County Police, where Mineola is located.
Law enforcement is expected to give a press conference this Wednesday to provide more details about the event, given the media expectation it has aroused.
The Homicide Department is investigating the collision, which occurred between Roslyn Street and Raff Avenue.
Minaj, whose real name is Onika Tanya Maraj, is believed to have had a complicated relationship with her father, and so far has made no comment on the event on social media.
Minaj, who in September 2019 announced her retirement from the music industry to devote herself to her family life, gave birth last September to her first child. EFE
