If you tell us that Nicki Minaj changed the scene for female rappers in the industry, we wouldn’t argue. She has truly made a name for herself by working on her music and rhymes. She started her career with Full Force, a Brooklyn music group, but went on to make independent mixtapes, like Sucka Free and Bream Me Up Scotty.

She is known for her ability to produce impromptu raps with distinct accents. Her fan base increased due to her use of alter egos and sharp flow of words. If you listen to her songs like Anaconda, Starships, and Turn Me On, you can’t help but stand up and dance to them.

Recently, Nicki made her pregnancy (eventually the baby) public with husband Kenner Petty. She was seen flaunting her baby bump in a Bedazzled Bikini shoot on Instagram.

As a fan of Nicki, you can’t help but marvel at how unique her brand is – she can freestyle in a wacky outer space suit and make it look fashionable. She’s been bold and experimental with her choices from the start, and that is exactly the reason why her fan base keeps growing. And the most interesting thing about her is her comfort – she raps so effortlessly and that is super inspiring to see.

If you’re tracking a red carpet, all you need to do is look for a bright colored wig and you’ll find her amidst the crowd of hundreds. Her accessory game is also top notch, adding to the overall provocative assemblage. 

Anyway, the reason why we’re praising Nicki Minaj so much today is that it’s her birthday! Given how terrible the year has been, we’ve decided to celebrate the day by talking about an empowered female rapper.

Check out the 2020's most unbelievable moments that will make you cry!

“On this night, 38 yrs ago, I cherished every moment, for it would be the last night you would hear my heartbeat from the inside and tomorrow would be the first day of me seeing my heartbeat on the outside.
