5 Times Nicki Minaj Served Us Lewks On a Platter

There are few female rappers who can take responsibility for changing the face of hip hop for women. Nicki Minaj is one of them. The Queens-native graced us with chart topping music since 1999 and she hasn’t looked back since.

Nicki has used her career as a vehicle of self expression. Through her lyrics, social media accounts, and choices in fashion, we were always able to tell exactly what was on her mind.

When she first hopped on the scene, Nicki’s style was more gimmicky than fashionable. She went for the shock factor and wore things that was considered over the top. As her career progressed and she started to dabble in movie roles and create fashion collections, she decided to tone down her wardrobe so that she could be taken seriously.

Now, at the age of 38, Nicki has achieved so much. She has 6 American Music Awards, 12 BET Awards, 5 MTV Video Music Awards, 4 Billboard Music Awards, and many more. She has sold 30 million singles as a lead artist, 60 million singles as a featured artist, and over five million albums worldwide, making her one of the world’s best-selling music artists. Last year, she tied the knot with her childhood friend Kenneth Petty and this year they welcomed their first child.

We’re getting a whole new Nicki Minaj now. She’s married, she’s a mother, she’s accomplished, and she’s evolved in more ways than one. Today, for her 38th birthday, we’re taking a look at 5 times Nicki served us lewks on a platter.
