Looking back, Nicki Minaj has had one of the most amazing journeys to the top that Hip-Hop has seen in recent years. Before her debut, the rapper generated major buzz on the Hip-Hop circuit thanks to her clever and hard-hitting rhymes that can be found on the mixtapes of her earlier days. After signing with Young Money, Nicki made her presence known even greater by becoming the feature queen and being the go-to woman to serve as a guest on records of various genres. After dominating that lane, Ms. Minaj went forth to release her debut studio album, Pink Friday, and the rest became history. Nicki went forth to generate hits like ‘Your Love,’ ‘Super Bass,’ ‘Moment 4 Life’ and others from the album all while slowly but surely building her brand to become what it is today. Now, almost 6 amazing years later since its debut, Nicki’s Pink Friday has officially been certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In an industry that is dominated by men, it’s not often that you see a woman thriving and prospering better than many of her male counterparts in Hip-Hop. Three albums later and Nicki Minaj is still at the top of her game with so much more to offer. 100%, it’s a cause for celebration for Nicki Minaj.
