Artists

Nicki Minaj, a native of Queen, New York, is not just another sexy hip-hop artist; she?s a trained and accomplished writer, singer, and actress who graduated from New York?s renowned LaGuardia High School of Music & Arts (which inspired the Fame television series and movie franchise). After being discovered on MySpace, Nicki appeared in The Carter Edition of Young Money?s The Come Up DVD series, which led to Lil Wayne enlisting her to collaborate on a number of mix-tapes, including Nicki?s debut mix-tape Playtime Is Over, which features a cameo by Lil Wayne on the track ?Can?t Stop, Won?t Stop.? Nicki Minaj fancies herself a modern-day Wonder Woman with multiple personalities. There?s Nicki the Ninja, a naughty hip-hop lyrical assassin; Nicki the Harajuku Barbie, an imaginative, fun, coquettish, girly girl fashionista who adores all things pink; and Nicki the Boss, the ingenious, austere business woman who always thinks outside of the box and is never afraid to assert herself.
