It looks like Nicki Minaj would like to remind people that she can also go spiritual when she feels like it.

The 31-year-old born Onika Maraj, recently encouraged her over 18 million Twitter followers, reminding them that there is more to pray for than just material things.

"Ppl pray for riches. Remember to pray for wisdom," Minaj tweeted.

While The New York Times named Nicki Minaj "the most influential female rapper of all time," it may have been her mother, Carol's, Christian faith and prayers that helped propel the Queens, New York, girl born Onika Maraj into international superstardom.

In an interview, Minaj's mother told the Christian Post : "My life as a Christian and believer was opened to Onika. As her career continued to thrive, she developed more concerns about life."

"She knew I believed in the power of prayer, therefore, she constantly called me and our pastor to pray for different concerns she may have. ... I believe by her acknowledging the power of prayer, and her strong desire to tithe together with a praying mother, contributed to her success."
