Rap superstar Nicki Minaj lost her father, Robert Maraj, back in 2021, when Maraj was killed in a hit-and-run accident in Nassau County, New York. The man accused in that case, Charles Polevich pleaded guilty to a pair of felonies earlier this week with one count of leaving the scene of an incident without reporting and another count of evidence tampering.

According to reports, Judge Howard Sturiun agreed to sentence the 71-year-old to a maximum of one year in prison, along with community service and having his license suspended.

Nicki, born Oniki Maraj, referenced the news on her Instagram.

“I can say it has been the most devastating loss of my life,” she wrote.

In February 2021, Maraj had been walking between Roslyn Road and Raff Avenue in Long Island, New York on February 12 when he was struck by a northbound vehicle. Polevich turned himself into authorities three days later.
