What happens

Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty (born December 8, 1982), known professionally as Nicki Minaj ( NIK-ee min-AHZH), is a Trinidadian rapper, singer, and songwriter. Dubbed the "Queen of Rap" and one of the most influential rappers of all time, she is noted for her dynamic rap flow, witty lyrics, musical versatility, and alter egos, and is credited as a driving force in the mainstream resurgence of female rap since the 2010s. Raised in New York City, Minaj began rapping professionally in the early 2000s and gained recognition with three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009. Her debut studio album, Pink Friday (2010), opened with the largest female rap album sales week of the 21st century and topped the US Billboard 200. She explored dance-pop on her second US number-one album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012). She returned to her hip-hop roots with The Pinkprint (2014) and Queen (2018), before amassing her third US number-one album, Pink Friday 2 (2023). Minaj was the first woman to have at least 100 entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including the number-one singles "Say So", "Trollz" and "Super Freaky Girl". She has three diamond-certified singles by the RIAA—"Super Bass", "Starships" and "Bang Bang"—and was the first female rapper with multiple diamond-certified solo songs. Minaj is one of the world's best-selling music artists and the best-selling female rapper, with over 100 million records sold. In 2023, Billboard and Vibe ranked Minaj as the greatest female rapper of all time. Her various accolades include a Brit Award, five Billboard Music Awards, nine American Music Awards, eight MTV Video Music Awards (including the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award), eleven BET Awards, a Soul Train Music Award, and three Guinness World Records. Minaj was named as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time in 2016 and was honored with the Billboard Women in Music Game Changer Award in 2019. Her Pink Friday 2 World Tour became the highest-grossing by a female rapper and one of the top five highest-grossing tours by a rapper in history. Minaj founded the record label imprint Heavy On It in 2023. Outside of music, her other endeavors include a fragrance line, a press on nails line, a Loci sneakers collection, and the radio show Queen Radio (2018–2023). She has also voice acted in the animated films Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012) and The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), and acted in the comedy films The Other Woman (2014) and Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016). On television, she served as a judge on the twelfth season of American Idol (2013). Her outspoken views have received significant media attention. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
