Nicki Minaj is 'enjoying life' without twitter.

The 29-year-old 'Starships' rapper closed her account last week after getting into an argument with fan site NickiDaily, which allegedly leaked tracks from her album 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'.

Announcing her departure, she told her 11million followers: 'Like seriously, it's but so much a person can take. Good f***ing bye.'

With just 30 days to reinstate the account, Nicki admits she is in two minds, mainly because she doesn't want to break contact with her fans, who she calls 'Barbz'.

Asked if a twitter return is on the cards, she told The Sun newspaper: 'I don't know yet. I have to say, I've been kind of enjoying life without twitter.

'But I feel bad on the Barbz. They got really sad when I deleted it.'

Not one to back away from a fight, Nicki believes the best way to confront online haters is to reply to their name-calling.

She explained: 'I think most artists will experience a lot of negative people on twitter but, thank God, I've got so many followers that I'm not able to see them that much. I'll see some from time to time but, for the most part, I always focus on something good.

'But the way I deal with it is if I see someone tweet something bad, I'll retweet it and put some lewd thing back.'
