Nicki Minaj is arguably the biggest female rapper in the game for that last couple of years.
But in a male dominated genre like hip-hop and dancehall, female artists always have to work twice as hard as their male counterpart to garner the same level of respect.

Nicki Minaj has had the pleasure of working with some of the biggest names in hip-hop today including Kanye West, Jay Z, Nas, Lil Wayne and more.
But perhaps being featured on Kanye West platinum-selling album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
“When I got the call to be on Kanye’s album that’s when I started thinking, ‘Hmm,'” Nicki says. “They have their little circle and I didn’t really expect to be accepted in that little circle. Once I knew I was getting on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I felt like this might be a movement. This is big for a female rapper to be on a Kanye album.”
Nicki Minaj also said she always has something to prove whenever she lay down a track in the studio.
“The way I rap is the way I speak, it’s conversational,” Nicki express. “I try not to limit what I put in my raps. I approach it like I have something to prove, whenever I do records I think, if this is my last time to say something to the hip hop world, what would I say? How would I thank people, talk about my past, prepare them for my future and also do it with style and swag? And then I go in.”
During the same interview with i-D, Nicki Minaj says she would like to marry Drake and run off with him, but says he ideal woman would be Drizzy’s on-again-off-again girlfriend Rihanna.
