Nicki Minaj was about to get a traffic ticket, but because of a fan — Ayanna — she was able to avoid the whole dustup.

She was facing a ticket when the traffic cop decided to let it slide because her daughter is such a big Barb.

To thank her fan for helping her avoid the hassle of the ticket, she tweeted out a handwritten note with this message: “Her mother is a traffic cop. She was about to give us a tkt.” she wrote with the photo (which included a peek at some fabulous, golden nail tips!).

The note said, “To my beautiful barb Ayanna! You and your mom are amazing!! Love always, Nicki.”
