Just in case the administration’s investigation isn’t enough, her superintendent is also being informed that the costume was worn to a school event and no one said anything prior to the photos being tweeted.
“Nicki Minaj and Drake in the cut #DynamicDuo #homecoming #ovo”, she wrote on Twitter, per the Daily News.
Amidst the outcry on Twitter Emma released an apology and changed her Twitter account to private before deleting it all together.
