Nicki broke down in tears.

During last night’s amazing TIDAL X: 1015 charity concert in New York, Nicki Minaj paid homage to her idol Lauryn Hill – literally bowing down for the Fugees star. 

“I’m in love with you,” she told Hill during an emotional moment backstage. 

“I’m in love with your spirit, your mind, everything about you.”

Minaj actually quoted her hero Lauryn Hill in her school yearbook, more than a decade ago.
