Nicki Minaj

Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty (born December 8, 1982), known professionally as Nicki Minaj, is a Trinidadian-born rapper, singer, and songwriter based in the United States. She is known for her musical versatility, sharp lyrics, animated flow in her rapping, alter egos and accents. Minaj first gained recognition after releasing three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009. Her debut album, Pink Friday (2010), topped the American Billboard 200 chart with the album’s fifth single, “Super Bass“, reaching number three on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was later certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Minaj’s follow-up album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), explored dance-pop and reached number one in several countries worldwide. The album’s single “Starships” peaked inside the top five in fifteen countries. Her third and fourth studio albums, The Pinkprint (2014) and Queen (2018), explored more personal topics and marked a return to her hip hop roots. The former’s second single, “Anaconda“, reached number two in the United States and became the first solo female rap music video to reach one billion views on YouTube. In 2019, her collaboration with Karol G, “Tusa“, became the longest running number one single on the Argentina Hot 100 chart. In 2020, Minaj achieved her first two American number one singles with her remix on Doja Cat‘s “Say So” and her collaboration with 6ix9ine, “Trollz“. With the re-release of her Beam Me Up Scotty (2009) mixtape in 2021, Minaj has the highest debut for a female rap mixtape on the American Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number two. The lead single of her forthcoming fifth studio album, “Super Freaky Girl“, became the first solo song by a female rapper to debut at number one in the United States in the 21st century. #nickiminaj #superfreakygirl
