Sometimes, it takes a celebrity to meet one. That was the case with five year-old cancer patient Miyah and her dream to meet pop star/rapper Nikki Minaj, according to MTV.com. To do so, she needed the help of Washington Wizards point guard John Wall.

Though it's somewhat unclear how the two first connected (presumably through a Washington Wizards foundation), since then Wall's launched a social media campaign to attract Minaj's attention. He's tweeted self-explanatory hashtags like #HelpMiyahMeetNicki and #PinkWigForMiyah (that might actually need some explanation; Minaj is famous for her pink wigs) and posted a short video featuring him and the young girl on Instagram. Again, they mentioned the coveted pink wig.

Numerous comments retweets later, Minaj heard about Miyah's wish and tweeted back, "Hi Miyah!!!! Let's see what we can come up with for a pretty little princess. ; )" to which Wall replied, "S/o to @nickiminaj for helping make Miyah's wish come true and thanks to all who RT'd # HelpMiyahMeetNicki."

Miyah's undergone seven chemotherapy treatments in her right against stage 3B Burkitt's lymphoma.

Unintentionally, she may have identified a new way for children with hardships to meet celebrities - by approaching other celebrities in unrelated fields. Though Wall is one of the better players in the NBA, being an athlete tied to a professional sports franchise and their foundations makes him significantly more approachable than a global star like Minaj. Plus, the two have made their names in different disciplines. If the girl really wanted to meet someone like Lebron James, Wall and the Wizards might be less inclined to help (or maybe not).

Wall has always had an interesting relationship with fame. At Kentucky, he was one of college basketball's biggest names, helped by the marquee school he attended (Kentucky), the marquee names he played with (including Demarcus Cousins), his John Wall dance (which I still sometimes unleash, and his crowd-pleasing game. Then, he went to one of the least successful franchises in the NBA, but one based in a big-name city. In his brief career, he's mostly played to expectations, but hasn't yet had the right team around him to prosper. This year, they've gotten closer, and Wall's gotten better. The Wizards are fifth in the east. Appropriately, he entered the slam dunk contest and led his team to the victory with one of the better (and underrated) dunks in recent years.
