The 'Starships' rapper turned 34 on Thursday (08.12.16) and celebrated her big day on vacation with boyfriend Meek Mill, but still took the time out to thank her fans for their kind birthday messages.

She wrote on Instagram: "Lord, I thank you for another year of life. #TurksAndCaicos Birthday vibes. Thanks for the [love] u guys. Right back atcha (sic)"

This has been a big week for Nicki, as she also released her first mobile game - though she claimed she had no idea 'Nicki Minaj The Empire' was coming out when it did on Wednesday (07.12.16).

She posted: "Looks like my game/app came early. Honestly didn't know til a few mins ago. DOWNLOAD IT NOW #NickiMinajTheEMPIRE (sic)"

In another post she added: "WE'RE PLAYING WORLDWIDE!!! Everybody go download my new app #NickiMinajTheEmpire smarturl.it/NickiEmpire available on iPhones & Androids (sic)"

The game allows users to create their own rap empire, and is already a hit with the 'Super Bass' hitmaker's fans.

Nicki has been retweeting positive comments from her followers in a bid to urge others to try the game.
