Despite the smile, Minnie told fans that she was still struggling.
Taking to Twitter she also recounted a chat with a journalist who asked her about her brother and opened up about the scrutiny of the media.
“I get it journalists have a job to do but it's my first time out since his passing. I don't want to talk about it but also it's too soon. My job is to show up and I will but I'm still hurting.”
She went on to thank everyone who has supported her during her period of mourning.
“To everyone that has been in my corner supporting me, thank you. The calls, the messages, the prayers and the visits. I appreciate my tribe. This moment has shown me how much love surrounds me and I can't thank God enough for all of you.”
