Nicki Minaj is by far one of the greatest female rappers that the game has ever seen. Plus, she can also sing – she has a lovely voice! And while a lot of people, especially the dudes, love to talk about her…body parts, this girl has a lot more to show this world than her “humps and bumps”. She writes her own lyrics, knows how to pick just the right beats to turn her next song/rap into a banger and is quite an intellectual human being. She was rumored to have a relationship with Drake, the most popular hip-hop artist of the decade, but it turned out to be just that – a rumor. In any case, Young Money’s own is still a force to be reckoned with, so, let’s check out some amazing facts about Nicki Minaj!
