The alleged hit-and-run driver who killed Nicki Minaj’s father in Long Island reported himself to police on Wednesday morning, sources told The Post.

Robert Maraj, 64, was walking in Mineola on Friday when he was hit around 6pm. The driver has fled, according to the Nassau police.

The “Super Bass” singer’s father was rushed to a local hospital and admitted to critical condition – and succumbed to his injuries at one point over the weekend, police said.

The rap superstar – who grew up in Queens – had a fraught relationship with her father.
