Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, was born in Trinidad and Tobago on December 8, 1982. She now resides in the US. She is renowned for her diverse musical taste, animated rapping style, alter egos, and accents. After releasing three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009, Minaj first became well-known. The Other Woman, Minaj’s first live-action theatrical film, premiered on April 25, 2014. She portrayed Lydia, Carly’s assistant (played by Cameron Diaz). In 2013, Minaj described her upcoming third album, The Pinkprint, as “a continuation of The Re-Up with a lot more” and stated that it would focus on her “hip-hop roots.” During an MTV interview, she stated that her third album will be “next level” and that she has “much to talk about.”
In February 2014, Malcolm X’s daughter Ilyasah Shabazz expressed her displeasure with the artwork of her late father being used “inappropriately” for Minaj’s single “Lookin’ Ass Nigga.” According to the Malcolm X estate, “Ms. Minaj’s artwork for her single does not depict the truth of Malcolm X’s legacy, is completely disrespectful, and is in no way endorsed by [Shabazz or the Malcolm X] family.” Minaj apologized to the estate, but the rapper received backlash after making remarks about Shabazz in a mixtape recording (“Chi-Raq”) that went: “Malcolm X daughter came at me/lookin’ ass niggas ain’t happy/rolled out with some Latin Kings and some eses in them plain khaki’s.”
