UPDATE: NICKI MINAJ BIOGRAPHY

NICKI MINAJ
Onika Tanya Maraj (born December 8), known by her stage
name Nicki Minaj, is a Trinidadian-born American rapper,
singer-songwriter and television personality.
She was born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago. When she
was five years old, she moved to the New York City borough of
Queens. Minaj trained as an actress before she released three
mixtapes between 2007 and 2009 and signed to Young Money
Entertainment. Minaj's debut studio album, Pink Friday (2010),
peaked at number one on the U.S.
Billboard 200 and was certified Platinum by the Recording
Industry Association of America (RIAA) a month after its release.
She became the first female solo artist to have seven singles on
the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Her seventh single,
"Super Bass" has been certified quadruple-platinum by the RIAA,
and has sold more than four million copies, becoming one of the
best-selling singles in the United States. Minaj's second album,
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), topped charts
internationally, also spawning the top 10 singles "Starships" and
"Pound the Alarm". The album became one of the best-selling
albums of 2012, according to the Nielsen SoundScan, selling one
million copies worldwide, as well as "Starships" becoming one of
the best-selling singles of that year.
Later in the year, she embarked on two worldwide tours, the
Pink Friday Tour and the Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour, and
reissued the album as Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-
Up. Minaj has tentatively announced plans for a third studio
album to be released in 2013.
Minaj's artistry features fast-paced rapping, alter egos and
accents, notably British cockney. Her outlandish and colorful
costumes, wigs and clothing have given her recognition as a
fashion icon. She featured as a voice actress in Ice Age 4:
Continental Drift, is currently serving as a judge on American
Idol and has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics, and Pepsi. Minaj's
work has earned her six BET Awards, four American Music
Awards, two MTV Music Awards, an EMA and Billboard's 2011
Rising Star. She is the first female artist included on MTV's
Annual Hottest MC List, with The New York Times suggesting
that some consider her "the most influential female rapper of all
time." The Source named Minaj the Woman of the Year for 2012.
