Nicki Minaj is going to have to put her money where her (potty) mouth is.
The 28-year-old hip-hopster has pleaded guilty to uttering foul language during a Jamaican concert.
So what was her penalty?
—She was fined 1,000 Jamaican dollars which, due to the weak Jamaican currency, translates into a whopping $11.
While it ain't much, we guess the point's been made.
Per the Jamaican Observer, Minaj was charged with dropping a number of expletives during her set Saturday, the last night of the weeklong Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay.
A local lawyer filed a guilty plea on the singer's behafl and paid the requisite penalty. Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj, was not required to appear in court.
Jamaica has laws that prohibit performers from using profanity in their acts. As a result, police served the popster a summons for her transgression.
Not that it mattered to Minaj.
Shortly after her appearance, the Trinidad and Tobago native took to Twitter to gush about the gig:
"OMG!!! I swear I just had the TIME of my LIFE @ ReggaeSumFest in JAMAICA!!!!! Jamaica I fell in love tonite! WOWWW!!!!"
We guess the expletive-bombing was just a crime of passion.
