Nicki Minaj has once again declared herself the “Queen of Rap.” When asked about her Halloween plans, the hip-hop star responded, “The same thing I was last year… The Queen of Rap.”
Her bold statement has ignited mixed reactions across social media, reigniting discussions on the long-standing rivalry between Minaj and other female rappers vying for the top spot in hip-hop.
Despite being the world’s best-selling female rapper, Minaj has yet to win a Grammy. Earlier this year, she briefly believed she’d finally secured one after the Recording Academy’s official X account mistakenly announced her song “Barbie World” with Ice Spice as the winner for Best Rap Song. However, the tweet was soon deleted and corrected, naming Killer Mike’s “Scientists & Engineers” as the true winner, cutting short her moment of celebration.
