Introducing you to Niki Minaj
Onika
Tanya Maraj (born
December 8, 1982) known by her
stage name Nicki Minaj is
a Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, and television
personality. Born in Saint James, Port of Spain and raised in Jamaica, Queens,New York City,
she enrolled in performing art schools as a child. After success with three
mixtapes released between 2007 and 2009, Minaj signed to Young Money Entertainment.
Minaj's
debut studio album Pink Friday (2010) peaked at number one on the US Billboard200 and was certified platinum by
the Recording Industry Association of
America (RIAA). Its
most successful single "Super Bass" was certified quadruple-platinum and has sold
over four million copies, becoming one of the best-selling singles in the United
States. During this time, Minaj became the first female solo artist
to have seven singles simultaneously charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012) topped the Billboard 200 and became one of the best-selling
albums of that year. Its lead single "Starships"
peaked at number 5 in the United States and became one of the best-selling
singles of 2012. As of 2013, Minaj has sold over 5 million albums globally. That same year, Minaj served as a
judge during the twelfth season of American Idol.
Minaj
is the first female artist included on MTV's Annual Hottest MC List, with The New York Times suggesting that some consider her
"the most influential female rapper of all time."
Her rapping is distinctive for its
fast flow,
use of alter egos and accents, notablyBritish cockney.
Her outlandish and colorful costumes, wigs and clothing have given her
recognition as a fashion icon. In April 2013, Minaj became the most-charted
female rapper in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, with over forty-four appearances.
She has endorsedAdidas, MAC Cosmetics,
and Pepsi. Revisiting her
roots in drama, Minaj has ventured into work as a voice actress in Ice Age: Continental Drift and is making her acting debut in the
2014 film The Other Woman. She has earned seven BET Awards,
four American Music Awards, two MTV Music Awards,
an MTV Europe Music Award, five Billboard Music Awards and Billboard's
2011 Rising Star.
To me, she is really the most influential female rapper of our time.
