When one becomes successful, it's expected of that person to remember those that were there to offer guidance and support even before people knew your name. For Nicki Minaj, she knew just how to repay perhaps her biggest supporter.

She presented her Young Money Entertainment boss Lil Wane with a $70,000 three-wheeled sports car on Thursday as a present for his 30th birthday. Minaj purchased a red Campagna T-Rex for her boss, as a thank you gift for everything he has done for her during her career so far.

The rapper was left stunned after being presented the car at his 30th birthday party in Hollywood on Thursday night. Minaj took to her Twitter account to brag about the car she purchased for Wayne to all of her fans. The vehicle has been described as a cross between a motorcycle and a car.

Wayne has done a lot for Minaj in her short career, including signing her to his label and defending her recently at Hot 97's Summer Jam. Radio host Peter Rosenberg took to the stage to introduce an act when he decided to disrespect Minaji and her song "Starships." Upon hearing the remark, Wane took to Twitter to announce he and the rest of Young Money would no longer be partaking in the festivities.

 Minaj will reportedly make $12 million just to serve as a judge on American Idol, so it's doubtful that the price of the sports car will even make a dent in the rapper's bank account.

Thursday was a big day for Wayne, as he also passed Elvis Presley for Billboard Hot 100 appearances. He has 109 songs appear on the charts, 49 of them being solo songs. To take the top spot however, Wayne will have to keep recording for quite some time. It is currently occupied by the cast of Glee which has 204 appearances.
