Nicki Minaj is standing by her big brother — posting his bail
after he has was charged with raping a 12-year-old, The Post has
learned.

Court papers reveal the superstar singer put up the $100,000
bond that sprang Jelani Maraj, 37, from custody in Nassau County
on Friday after he was accused of first-degree rape and first-
degree sexual conduct against the preteen.

The bond is backed by a two homes in Baldwin that are owned by
Minaj — one of which is used by her brother and the other by her
mother, Carol.

“She was prepared to do anything for her brother,” a source said
of Minaj.

Minaj will be responsible for the fees associated with securing
the the bond, typically 6 percent to 10 percent of the bond
amount, or $6,000 to $10,000.

Had the bail been higher — and Nassau prosecutors had asked for
$500,000 — Minaj was ready to offer a letter of credit from a
California bank account worth in excess of $2 million, the
source said.

The bail was handled by celebrity bail bondsman Ira Judelson,
according to court papers. Judelson’s cases include Dominique
Straus Kahn’s $6 million bail bond, and the bonds for Plaxico
Buress, Lil Wayne and Kat Williams.

Judelson declined to comment on the Maraj case, as did defense
lawyers Ben Brafman and Andrea Zellan.
