Believe it or not but Nicki Minaj has something in common with the resident old in your life.

The queen of rap proved that she's still relatable in the most unexpected way when she publicly navigated her way around Snapchat on Sunday afternoon, and ended up asking fans for their tech help.

The rapper posted a screenshot of her username on Instagram encouraging fans to follow her on the social media platform. "Yo can y'all teach me how to use this?," she wrote. "Wtf I wanna show y'all how a bad btch posts her first snap but..." Minaj wrote, clearly struggling on the app.

Underneath the photograph is where things get pretty hilarious.

In a series of comments, Minaj was not shy about admitting she has no idea how to use the app or change her settings. She asked questions about the app, and shared that she allowed "everyone" to be able to contact her and was immediately bombarded with messages from fans—some who had celebrity names for usernames.

"How do you delete the thing u recorded if u don't wanna post it? I just recorded my towel mad times btch wtf," she commented, according to more screenshots grabbed by Buzzfeed.

In a video she posted she asked fans to please stop calling her, and read a message from a fan out loud before responding to someone's message.

Ultimately, she gave up before admitting that she had to call Snapchat for help. "I just logged tf out! I got work to do...i'll be back n later...with new settings," she wrote.

No one tell her about streaks or filters yet, that might be too much too soon.
