Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj rose to prominence after her hit debut album, 2010’s Pink Friday, rose to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and earned her four Grammy nominations. Minaj has since collaborated with Doja Cat, Ariana Grande, Drake, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Ice Spice, Rihanna and countless other artists.
Thanks to hits including “Super Bass” and “Super Freaky Girl,” Minaj is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. She has earned 12 Grammy nominations, five MTV Video Music Awards (including the 2022 Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award) and three Guinness World Records.
Minaj has ventured into acting with roles in Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012), The Other Woman (2014) and The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019). She also served as a judge on American Idol’s 12th season in 2013. Minaj married Kenneth “Zoo” Petty in 2019 and gave birth to the couple’s first baby together in 2020.
