She was listed as one of Time Magazine’s Most Influential People in the World in 2016. She voiced a Wooly Mammoth in an Ice Age movie. She’s collaborated with Beyoncé, Madonna, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. She has won 6 American Music Awards, 11 BET Awards, 4 Billboard Music Awards and has been nominated for 10 Grammys. She has headlined three world tours, the last of which grossed $22 million dollars.
She has sold 20 million singles, been featured on singles that have sold 60 million units and sold over five million albums. She has 17 top 10 hits and 99 total songs that have charted (which is a record amongst all female artists for most ever ). Here are some stats: All four of Minaj’s albums have cracked Billboard’s top 3. And crucially, no one would argue with you. You could make a solid argument that for a time between 2010-2011 (And again in 2014) she was one the best rappers on earth. You never had to make qualifications with Nicki, and very few ever did. If Lil Fame met her at a cookout in Brownsville in ’06, you’d get the best possible version of A Star is Born. But I really believe that if you put Nicki in any situation she would’ve ended up right where she is.
She emerged under Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment imprint right as Weezy was at the peak of his powers and Drake was a frequent collaborator and rising peer. Nicki Minaj was in the right place at the right time.
First thing’s first, Abe Beame will eat your brains.
