Bio

Nicki Minaj is a Trinidadian-American rapper who's on the verge of dominating the game like no female MC has since Missy Elliott. Nicki has an unforgettable look and sound, and though she might occasionally mention her "thick @ss" in rhymes, she avoids over-sexualizing her image, preferring to let her mic skills speak for themselves, as she holds her own alongside established legends like Kanye West and Jay-Z.

Nicki first got the world's attention with killer guest verses for other rappers like Kanye and Drake. After proving time and again that she can match and occasionally murder the boys, Nicki released her own album, Pink Friday, which went platinum within a month.

But with fame comes haters, and though Nicki is beloved by critics and her intensely loyal fans, she's been the subject of vicious plastic surgery rumors, and she's garnered negative attention from other MCs like Lil Kim, who recently released a scathing dis track about Nicki. For every hater, there's been a thousand new fans, though, and Nicki recently became the first woman to be included on MTV's Annual Hottest MC List, proving that she's more than just a pretty face with industry connections.

She's a seriously talented artist with a bright future who appeals equally to longtime hip-hop heads and young girls in need of a bad-@ss role model. Nicki's flamboyant style and undeniable mic skills have led critics to dub her "the Lady Gaga of rap." It's a fitting comparison, as like Gaga, Nicki gets your attention with her appearance and holds it with her incredible talent.
