In a world
of cookie cutter stars,

this firecracker female
rapper dared to be unique.

She is Onika Tanya Maraj,

better known as the one
and only Nicki Minaj,

the reigning queen of rap.

Inhabitating both the
world of perky dance pop

and gritty gangster rap,

she has carved out
a space for herself

in a male dominated industry,
beating all the odds,

and with over 15
years in the game,

it doesn't look like Nicki Minaj

will leave her
throne anytime soon.

Throughout her career,

she has dominated the
charts and headlines

with her undeniable talent
and vibrant personality,

attracting an army
of devoted fans.

From the mean streets
of Queens, New York,

to the heady heights
of rap superstardom,

the story of Nicki Minaj
is one for the books.

It's a lot of pressure.

You don't wanna let
anybody down, you know,

so people put so much
in you, into you.

It's kind of like
investing into a stock.

So it's like you don't
wanna cause them to lose.

Long before she became
known as Nicki Minaj,

Onika Tanya Maraj was born
in 1982 in the Caribbean.

Her father is Robert Maraj,

who worked as a
financial executive.

Her mother, Carol Maraj,

was a foreign exchange
teller and gospel singer.

When Minaj was young,

her mother immigrated
to the United States.

She lived with her grandmother

in Saint James, Trinidad Tobago

with her 11 cousins
and older brother.

Her mother sent for
her and her brother

when Onika was just five,

moving them into her house

in South Jamaica,
Queens, New York.

She is the second oldest
alongside two brothers

and two sisters.

And first of all,
I'm a proud immigrant,

and when I came to America,

shout out to my
country Trinidad,

when I came to America,
I wanted to see America.

I thought I'd be living
in this big castle.

But unfortunately, my mother,
you know, didn't really...

My parents didn't
have it like that.

So, you know, humble beginnings.

Minaj
had a troubled and traumatic childhood.

Her father had problems
with alcoholism

and was addicted
to crack cocaine.

In 1987, his substance fueled
violent temper led to him

burning down their Trinidad
and Tobago family house.

In New York,

it was soon realized
that young Onika

had a keen ear for music

and played the clarinet
in her middle school band.

With the natural
flare for performance,

her interest led her to
successfully audition

for LaGuardia High School, a
prestigious hub for the arts.

When she graduated,

Minaj had her hopes set
on being an actress.

She was cast in an
off-Broadway play,

but her career
wasn't taking off.

She worked several odd jobs,

being fired from a Red
Lobster in the Bronx

for poor customer service.

Although her fiery attitude

didn't translate so
well to service jobs,

her ferociousness would
soon become her superpower.

Nicki Minaj!

Nicki
was always determined

to rise above her circumstances

and prove her
skills to the world.

In her teenage years,

Nicki would be a fan
of hip hop artists,

such as Jay-Z and Foxy Brown.

She began to take on
backup singing roles

for local New York rappers,
including Full Force.

Armed with a pen and
a fierce rapping game,

Nicki soon became a key figure

in New York's
thriving rap scene.

She began wrapping in a
foursome called The Hoodstars

which was made up of 7even Up,

Lou$tar, and Scarf Breezy.

In 2004, The Hoodstars recorded
the song "Don't Mess With,"

which was a contribution
to a compilation album

from the WWE entitled
'ThemeAddict, WWE: The Music."

Minaj soon left The Hoodstars,

and began writing her
own solo material.

Her undeniable raw
talent, sharp wit,

and killer flow meant
she was eventually

discovered by the
Dirty Money CEO, Fendi.

Fendi came across
Minaj's Myspace Page,

loved what he heard, and
signed her to his label.

That connection led
Minaj to Lil Wayne,

one of the biggest
heavyweights in hip hop.

Lil Wayne will
collaborate with her

on a series of mixed tapes.

The first of which,
"Playtime Is Over,"

was released in April 2007.

Subsequent mix tapes
like "Sucka Free" in 2008

and "Beam Me Up Scotty" in 2009

blew up New York's
underground rap scene,

positioning Minaj at the
forefront of the cutting edge.

She presented herself
as self-assured with out front style.

In 2009, she signed
with Lil Wayne's label,

Young Money Entertainment,

becoming its first
ever female artist.

Lil Wayne has backed Nicki
from the very beginning,

calling her an icon

who has reached far beyond
anything I would've imagined.

She will go down as one
of the best to do it

in the history of music.

You are beautiful.

I've never had a
chance to meet you.

Yeah, thank you.

Now tell me, how's it feel
like, you know, to really,

really be plucked from
doing what you were doing

to now being poised

to be the number one
female rappers in the game?

What's that pressure feel like?

Oh God,
it feels insane,

but it's exciting,
and I'm grateful

that the people have chosen
me to be that person.

Now tell me, in your opinions

being a female hip hop artist,

why has yet there
been a female artist

to take this game
away from the men?

Because when girls
dare to be different,

they're judged so much,
way more than the boys.

After her string

of buzzy mix tape
drops and features,

anticipation had built up
around Minaj's debut album.

It was due for release
in autumn 2010.

Thank you!

Thank you, Nicki!

In April 2010,

she released her first
single, "Massive Attack,"

followed by "Your Love."

Two months later,

she won Best Hip Hop Female
at the annual BET Awards.

She dedicated the
award to Lil Wayne.

Her verse on Kanye West's
2000 single, "Monster,"

was critically acclaimed,

and contributed significantly
to her popularity.

Many critics said she has
the best verse in the song.

♪ Yeah I'm in that
Tonka color of Willy ♪

Wonka!

♪ You could be the king
but watch the queen ♪

Conquer.

♪ So let me get this straight

♪ But my features and my

This feature
has gone down in history

as one of the best ever

and as Nicki's finest
guest appearance.

Her verse on "Monster"
garnered instant respect

from her peers and
solidified her place

in the runnings for
hip hop royalty.

It is widely thought that
Minaj's verse was superior

to West himself,

who was seen as the most
important pop rapper

at that time.

Complex rated the verse

as the number one best rap
verse in the past five years.

For someone at the
beginning of her career,

Minaj carried herself
with a confidence swagger

and showed off her
rapping finesse.

Her debut studio
album, "Pink Friday,"

was released that November

and was promoted with
eight singles from it.

It went triple platinum and
received positive reviews.

Nicki's debut album took
the music industry by storm,

blending rap and pop

to create infectious hooks
and razor sharp lyrics.

My first album, I had
Eminem, Kanye West, Brianna.

- Right.
- Lil Wayne, will.i.am.

Who does that on their
first album? No one.

You know, so people
are expecting me now

- to get, you know, savior.
- Jesus.

Yeah.

"Moment
4 Life" was released

as the fourth single
from Pink Friday,

shortly after the
album's release,

followed by the internationally
successful single,

"Super Bass."

"Super Bass" was
the bubblegum pop sleeper hit

that propelled Nicki's
career to the stratosphere.

It brought a new kind
of rap to the mainstream

through its addictive
pre-course and hook.

It also paved the way

for the dance-pop direction
she would later embark on.

"Super Bass" remains one of
Nicki Minaj's most loved songs.

On "Pink Friday,"

it wasn't just Nicki's
clever double entendres

and humorous rhymes that
caught the public attention.

It was also her bombastic,
outlandish style.

At this time in her career,

Minaj found inspiration

from the world famous Harajuku
district in Tokyo, Japan.

What all I wanted
to do was go to Tokyo.

And so I went to Tokyo,
and I'll never forget,

I was so obsessed with
the Harajuku culture,

and I met the girls down there,

and they were dressed like me.

And I went back to
my hotel and cried

'cause I couldn't believe that
I couldn't understand a word

that girls were saying,

but there was a universal
language we both spoke,

and that was fashion
and that was hair

and that was makeup, and you
know, all those fun things.

She sported
a bright rotation

of rainbow colored wigs.

She told Hype Hair Magazine
that, "Color makes me happy.

It really excites me.

I'm a very visual person.

And when I look in the mirror,

and I see green or I see pink,

it does something
to my attitude.

It makes me feel positive."

But I think from the outside,

when people don't get to know me

and they don't know
how layered I am

and they don't
really know my music,

and they just see someone that's
dressing, you know, crazy,

they think, "Oh, you're
this one, or you're that.

Well, you're trying to be this
one," but I'm just doing me.

As a rising artist,

Nicki would also
introduce several personas

that she would
inhabit while rapping.

In her mixtapes, this would
often be Nicki Lewinsky,

a reference to Monica Lewinsky,

who was the mistress of
US President Bill Clinton.

When Nicki Lewinsky
is on the track,

expect to hear sexual
and tough bars.

Another notable alter ego

that Nicki would
first use in "Monster"

was that of Roman Zolanski.

Often saying, "he is
a demon inside her,"

whose character she
assumes when she's angry.

Roman has often been compared
to Eminem's alter ego,

Slim Shady.

The bonkers song,
"Roman's Revenge,"

sees Roman and Slim Shady
face each other head on

in an energetic collaboration
between Minaj and Eminem.

In November 2010,

Minaj assumed the alter
ego, Nicki Teresa,

wearing a colorful headdress,

and calling herself
healer to her fans.

She introduced
another alter ego,

Rosa, pronounced
with an exaggerated R

to commemorate her
December 2010 appearance

on "Lopez Tonight."

She is Nicki, who is that?

Her name is Rosa.

Rosa.

Rosa!

Rrrr.

But you have to say it like...

You have to really
roll it long, pause.

- You have to say Rosa.
- Rosa.

Due to her
difficult upbringing

and her parents' frequent
fighting during her childhood,

Minaj lived through the
characters she created

as a means of escape.

She recalled that
fantasy was my reality.

Her style, music, and confident
persona set Nicki apart

from everything else
in the industry,

marking her as a true and
exciting original to watch.

Nicki Minaj's unapologetic
self-confidence

and unique style has earned
her a legion of devoted fans

that she affectionately
calls her Barbz.

♪ Up up up

♪ Then put your number twos

♪ Put your number twos in
the air if you did it ♪

♪ All these bitches is my sons

♪ And I'ma go and get
some bibs for 'em ♪

♪ A couple formulas

In the early 2010s,

there was an electronic
dance music boom.

Minaj became a leader
in this particular sound

going toe to toe with
the pop stars of the era.

At the 2012 Superbowl
halftime show,

Minaj performed
alongside Madonna.

Soon after the appearance,

Minaj would drop her album,

"Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded."

The record proved to
be a commercial hit,

reaching the top of the
pop, R&B, and rap charts.

I felt like this one,

I was so much more
like seasoned,

and you know, so
I created an album

with like all of
the different facets

of my personality.

So you got the hard stuff
and you know, Queens Girl,

and you got like
the dance rockets

like "Pound the Alarm,"
that red one did,

which I was so excited to do.

And then you have...

I think it's like a
billion times better

than my first album.

And it's just because
I'm more confident,

and I just went for it.

I didn't change stuff.

I didn't, you know, go crazy,

and redo my verses
a billion times.

I was just like, "You know what?

This is who I am right now.

Take it or leave it."

The booming
dance track, "Starships,"

was the first breakout single.

♪ Uh let's go to
the beach-each ♪

♪ Let's go get a wave

♪ They say what they gonna say

♪ Have a drink clink
found the Bud Light ♪

♪ Bad bitches like me
is hard to come by ♪

"Pound the
Alarm" soon followed

as did "Va Va Voom."

For the Reloaded
Tour in October,

oh my God, it's just bigger,
bigger, bigger, bigger.

Obviously, the set is
gonna be on steroids.

All of the things that I love
when I go and see a tour,

the lights and the backdrops
and the video contents,

and you know, the dancers.

♪ Boom badoom boom
boom badoom boom bass ♪

♪ He got that super bass

This is like every little
girl's dream come true.

I mean, I never imagined
that I would be doing a show

in the middle of Times Square

on these people would
be singing every lyric.

♪ Oh oh oh oh oh oh

The album
received mixed reviews.

Minaj's departure into full
mainstream pop was criticized

by some, despite her
commercial success.

The same year, Minaj became
the first solo female rapper

to perform at the Grammy Awards.

She performed her
song, "Roman Holiday,"

unleashing her alter
ego, Roman Zolanski.

The theatrical performance
was controversial

due to its themes of
religious exorcism

and received backlash
from the Catholic church.

Nicki!

Nicki, right here!

In March 2012,

Minaj moved into the world
of competition reality TV,

making a guest appearance
as a judge on American Idol.

She showed off her
charisma on the panel,

but also ruffled feathers of
fellow judge, Jennifer Lopez.

To make room for her
at the judge's table,

she tells J.Lo to scoot
over a little bit.

The exchange led to
rumors of a potential feud

between Minaj and Lopez.

Minaj would dismiss these claims

and was later invited back as
a permanent judge on the show.

I caught the face
that J.Lo made-

J.Lo gave you side
eye, look at that.

She gave you crazy side eye.

Well, I ain't gonna say
nothing to J.Lo right about now,

but the kid gonna be
back on that show, J.Lo.

Oh yeah!

However,
when back on the screen,

Nicki had noticeable
friction with Mariah Carey,

who was also judging.

The pair would openly argue

during the show's
early auditions.

With her next album
released in 2014,

"The Pinkprint,"
Minaj noticeably

took on a more subdued
pared back appearance.

She was seen less and
less in bright wigs

and flamboyant styles.

Instead, wearing
her hair natural,

paired with more minimalist

and luxurious silhouettes.

Nicki!

I think once I have music,

I do tend to try to
dress like the music,

but I think recently,

I've just been doing a
lot of toned back looks,

and keeping it more chic,
more grown and sexy.

The album
similarly signaled a departure

from the electronic dance pop
that defined "Roman Reloaded."

Instead, the album saw Nicki
go back to her hip hop roots.

Nicki also broke it off
with her longtime boyfriend,

Safaree Samuels, in this era,

inspiring songs on the album.

The album star-studded
feature list included Beyonce,

Chris Brown, Ariana
Grande, and Drake.

It went double platinum.

And in 2016, she won the Best
Female Hip-Hop Artist award

at the BET Awards for the
seventh consecutive time.

Ice-T stated, "Minaj's
rapping style,

she does her thing.

She has her own way of doing it.

She has an ill vocal delivery.

She reminds me of a
female Busta Rhymes,

like how she throws her voice

in different directions."

The conversation described Minaj

as a preeminent female rapper,

and that she has consistently

straddled the distinct
personas of a gangster boss

and sexy pop siren without
truly committing to either,

and that her chameleonic ability

matches some of rap's most
verbose, witty, filthy,

and pop-friendly stars such
as Eminem and Lil Wayne.

When "Anaconda" was released
as the second single

from "The Pinkprint," it
was a cultural phenomenon.

The song showcases all of
Nicki Minaj's strengths

and controversial appeal.

The track uses a sample from
Sir Mix-a-Lot's 1992 track,

"Baby Got Back,"

weaving it into a
self-empowerment anthem.

Unapologetically sexual, the
song, video, and single artwork

all embrace the
size matters ethos,

and it went viral
almost immediately.

♪ My anaconda don't

♪ My anaconda don't want none
unless you got buns hun ♪

♪ Oh my gosh look at her butt

The video broke
the 24-hour streaming record

on Vevo by accumulating
19.6 million views

on the first day.

However, not everyone was
so impressed with the song.

Critics called it
degrading to women

and promoted immorality
to young girls.

On the flip side,

many saw the video
as Nicki Minaj

asserting her power
as a sexual subject.

Regardless,
"Anaconda" was placed

at number two on MTV's
best songs of 2014.

Nicki's talents extend
beyond her music career.

Using her acting skills she
honed at her time at LaGuardia,

Nicki acted in the other
women alongside Cameron Diaz.

How terrifying
is Nicki Minaj in real life?

Oh my God, not at all.

She's so lovely.

She's the sweetest.

She came to our set, and
she was so fantastic.

She was so prepared,
she was so dynamic.

She delivered
literally like this,

like immediately,
she just delivered,

and we were like, right on.

And she was so sweet
and she was so humble,

and really, she had come from...

Flown in the night before
from some award show,

went straight to set, got ready,

and came to set like
she was all business.

Yeah, she was amazing.

She later

received a Teen Choice
Awards 2016 nomination

for her role in
"Barbershop: The Next Cut."

She has fronted several
endorsement deals

and advertising campaigns,

including Mac Cosmetics,
Adidas Originals, and Pepsi.

And she has her
own fragrance line.

Despite all her other projects,

music is still
Minaj's big focus.

She would feature on a
handful of singles in 2017,

and with the
simultaneous release

and successes of "No Frauds,"

"Regret in Your Tears,"
and "Changed It,"

she took over the
record for most entries

on the Billboard Hot
100 by a female artist,

a mark previously held
by Aretha Franklin.

After a short hiatus,

following the release of
"Regret in Your Tears,"

Minaj burst back onto the
music scene in April 2018

with the two
back-to-back singles,

"Chun-Li" and "Barbie Tingz."

♪ Ayy yo I been on
bitch you been corn ♪

♪ Do the rap game like me

It would
be the first taste

of her forthcoming
album titled "Queen."

A clear throwback

to the kind of mid 90s
swagger she grew up on,

Minaj introduces another
alter ego, Chun-Li,

into her arsenal named

after the ass kicking Street
Fighter video game character.

Over a hypnotic saxophone
line and head nodding beat,

Minaj delivers one of her
most quotable singles yet.

Upon debuting second
on the Billboard 200,

Minaj expressed frustration
and criticized several people

in a series of tweets,
including Travis Scott,

whose album, "Astroworld,"
claimed the top spot

for a second week in a row,

blocking "Queen"
from the top spot.

Minaj claimed that Travis
Scott sold shirts, merchandise,

and ticket passes for
an unannounced tour

to boost his album sales.

"Queen" received generally
positive reviews,

though some critics took issue

with the album's length
and lyrical content.

Rolling Stone wrote that "Queen"

brings a new Minaj character,
the regal haughty monarch.

A woman who insists on
sword sharpened rhymes

as a prerogative for excellence.

"Queen" is seen as a true
Nicki Minaj hip hop album

that additionally
combined elements

of trap, reggae,
dance hall, and pop.

A standout track
which displayed Nicki

reclaiming the throne of hip hop

after her foray into dance pop

would be the track,
"Barbie Dreams,"

a re-imagining of
the controversial notorious B.I.G. song,

"Just Playing".

Minaj's "Barbie Dreams"
playfully subverts the narrative

by instead name dropping
several male figures

in the music industry.

Nicki has always
been aware of her being

in a previously thought to
be male dominated industry.

In "Barbie Dreams,"

Nicki is asserting her dominance

with her tongue firmly in cheek.

To support the "Queen" era,

Nicki embarked on
an ambitious tour

with rapper, Juice WRLD,

aptly called the
Nicki World Tour.

The tour captivated audiences

with her undeniable
charisma and talent.

She made
a guest appearance

at the 2019 Coachella Valley
Music and Arts Festival

during Ariana Grande's set,

and performed alongside her

to their collaborations "Side
to Side" and "Bang Bang."

However, she experienced
technical difficulties

with her earpiece.

Later that month,
Minaj parted ways

with her longtime
management team

after a mutual agreement.

Overall, to Barbz and
the broader public,

the "Queen" era was a testament
to Nicki Minaj's artistry.

The album incorporated
all the aspects

of Nicki Minaj's career
and growth so far.

If you wanna do what I
do, I work very, very hard,

and I love to make my
Barbz AKA my babies happy.

After "Queen,"

it felt like nothing
could stop Nicki.

She had solidified herself
in hip hop's hall of fame,

claiming the throne
as rightfully hers.

However, she made a surprising
announcement in 2019,

revealing that she would
be retiring from music

to start a family.

Fans were shocked.

But after a decade
of consistent output,

it made sense that Nicki
would need a break.

The Barbz rallied around her

and eagerly hoped
for her return.

Nicki's retirement
was short-lived.

The "Queen" never
leaves the throne

and will certainly
not give it up.

A couple months later,

Nicki featured on PnB Rock's
track "Fendi" with Murda Beatz.

In May 2020,

Nicki announced she was
pregnant with her first child

by sharing a series of
maternity photos on Instagram.

Later that year,
Nicki welcomed her son

with her husband, Kenneth Petty.

Since the release of "Queen,"

Nicki has consistently
collaborated

with other artists on hit songs.

Did you
love watching Nicki Minaj?

Oh, a dream.

She's so lovely, she's
very supportive of us.

I love her.

In June of 2020,

Minaj and 6ix9ine
released "TROLLZ,"

which became their
third collaboration.

It debuted atop the Hot 100,

becoming Minaj's second
number one single.

Minaj, not shy of controversy,

received backlash for
this collaboration

because of 6ix9ine's
history of legal issues.

American rapper, Doja
Cat, featured Minaj

on two remixes of
her song, "Say So."

That week, the remix
top Billboard Hot 100,

becoming Minaj's first single

to reach number
one on the chart.

The collaboration was
also the first time

that a song by two female
rap artists reached the top,

which became influential
for other female rappers

to work together in the future.

Shout out to all
of the kickass women,

not only in this room,
but all around the world

who, you know what?

We win and fail
in the public eye.

And that's not easy to do.

People think they
know what it requires.

People think they could do it.

Everybody wants to
walk in your shoes,

until you put them
in your shoes,

and then it's like, ugh.

You know what I mean?

So I wanna say congratulations

to all the girls in this world

who are strong,
who are confident,

and yes, we have insecure
moments, and that's okay.

But guess what? You do something

that millions of people
would never be able to do

if they had the opportunity,

because it takes
guts, it takes balls!

She continued to
appear as a featured artist

on several songs into late 2020.

Late November, Minaj announced
a six part docuseries,

cataloging her life set to
premiere in 2021 on HBO Max.

In a full circle moment,

2021 saw Minaj release a reissue

of one of her first mixtapes,
"Beam Me Up Scotty."

The reissue introduced
her early work

to a much larger audience.

It let the public see
both how far she has come

and also her undeniable
talent from day one.

The reissue featured new
tracks with guest appearances

from artists like
Lil Wayne and Drake.

It was well received
by critics and Barbz.

In 2022, Minaj released
her hit single,

"Super Freaky Girl,"

sampling Rick James's
1981 song, "Super Freak."

"Super Freaky Girl"

feels like a companion
song to "Anaconda,"

driving the fans
wild as a result.

The song debuted at
number one in the US,

becoming the first solo
song by a female rapper

to debut at number one
in the US in 22 years.

As of 2023, Minaj is working

on her much anticipated
fifth studio album.

She described it as fun,
gutta, and back to the basics.
