One of the suspects in the crime is reportedly a background dancer for Minaj's tour; but Minaj herself denies that the man has any affiliation with her or her entourage. "Saddened to learn one of my precious fans; found tragically murdered in Japan. My love & prayers are with the family of Nicola Furlong," Minaj tweeted. She then addressed blogger Perez Hilton directly. "@PerezHilton my dancers had nothing to do w/this tragedy. No one in my entourage was questioned or arrested. They all flew home from Japan" she posted. "@PerezHilton that person on your sight is NOT my dancer. We do NOT know the men in custody. Too much misleading information." The fan, 21-year old Irish exchange student Nikola Furlong and her friend were approached by the two men after the concert and were pushed into a taxi, according to witnesses. The suspects are Americans James Blackston and an unnamed 19-year-old backing musician. Indications are that Furlong was strangled.
