Onika Tanya Marazh

Curvy shapes, bright wigs, enchanting outfits - Nicki Minaj never ceases to amaze fans. She is a singer, songwriter and actress. The celebrity's creative biography includes studio albums, mixtapes, joint discs, dozens of singles and fifty video clips of other pop stars, in which Minaj starred as a guest star. Nicky managed to become the richest woman rapper, but this was not always the case.

Onika Tanya Marazh (real name of the singer) was born on December 8, 1982 in the suburbs of Port of Spain, the capital of the island state in the Caribbean. Father is half African, half Indian, mother is Malaysian. Nicky tries not to remember his childhood, because there was little pleasant in it: the girl's father is a complete alcoholic and drug addict. In a drunken stupor, he often beat his wife, and once set fire to his own house. Nicky and her mother miraculously survived.

The family lived in poverty, they could not save money to move to America. Nicki Minaj lived with her grandmother for several years. When the girl was 5 years old, her mother took her and fled from a domestic despot in Queens.

The girl was painfully worried about the move and was looking for salvation in music. At school, Niki became interested in the clarinet, then began to develop vocal abilities. The girl painted, participated in school performances, but always dreamed of a big stage. As a teenager, Minaj began listening to rap - this musical direction determined her future destiny.

Nicki Minaj's debut work was the mixtape "Playtime Is Over", which was released in 2007. In 2008-2009, she released several more demos, which the public did not notice. Rapper Lil Wayne liked her work, and the musician ventured to sign a contract with the young performer.

Soon, Nicki Minaj's first album, Pink Friday, was released, after which she woke up famous. The single "Your Love" became a hit. Next, the girl presented another single "Right Thru Me": the music video for it revealed her as a talented dramatic actress.

At first, Minaj exploited the image of the Japanese geisha, but when it began to crumble, she changed her role. In her third video, "Moment For Life," she is portrayed as "the cinderella of hip-hop."

From that moment on, Niki began to regularly record music videos for her songs. The artist's appearance, scandalous twerk choreography, multi-colored hair and an emphatically sexy figure bring deafening popularity to the music video. In total, 4 Minaj videos were released in 2010. In the future, the singer will present up to 10 videos a year.

The track "Super Bass" became the most successful of the singer's career. He immediately broke into the TOP-10 and held on to the top for a long time. This explosive hit racked up 760 million views on YouTube.

In the summer of 2011, Niki recorded a duet with DJ David Guetta. Their work "Where Them Girls At?" Was predicted to be a hit.

Throughout the year, Minaj presented new songs from the upcoming album, but all the new ones failed - the compositions did not hit the charts, critics spoke negatively about them. The failure forced the singer to postpone the release date of the new album, diluting it with compositions of neutral content: a large amount of negativity in the tracks was disapproved of even by Nika's most devoted fans. The conceived succeeded - the compositions from this album sounded at all discos.

She met Mick in February of the same year, the relationship developed rapidly - the couple often appeared in public together. In July, Minaj broke off the engagement and returned the ring to her boyfriend. Friends of the couple say that they often quarreled, then parted, then reconciled. Mick states that Nicky kept him down, constantly telling him what to do. But slipped information about the lies and betrayals of the groom, which led to the separation of the couple.

Minaj loves relaxed and unconventional costumes, collaborates with Donatella Versace and other famous couturiers. But the rapper believes that there is nothing in common between them. The singer explains the choice of clothes by her difficult childhood: when her parents were arguing, she invented various characters and lived their life.

Nicky loves tattoos. On her left hand, hieroglyphs are engraved, which stand for "God is always with you."

The artist's bright style attracts fans to her page on Instagram. Fans admire the figure of the singer in open dresses, which Minaj prefers, and follow the change in the image of the celebrity: she dyes her hair pink, light green and other colors.

Nicky's voluminous forms give the ill-wishers a reason to assert that the singer did plastic surgery on the buttocks.

The singer denies rumors about plastic and refers to heredity in this matter.

In 2015, Minaj told fans that she wanted to lose weight. With a height of 157 cm, the singer weighs 62 kg. The fan community became agitated, and Nika's favorite dignity - her impressive voluminous buttocks - was under threat. The released photoshoot of the actress in a swimsuit reassured the fans: the rapper's figure remained the same, the feminine forms did not disappear.

In 2018, Minaj made a sensational announcement on her Instagram that she was dating the king of hip-hop, Eminem. The rapper's fans immediately demanded an explanation from the idol. At his concert, the singer asked the audience a counter question whether he should meet Nicky, giving fans the opportunity to continue speculating about his affair with a colleague. Minaj played along with Eminem by inviting him out on a date from his personal microblog page. Later it became known that this information turned out to be a joke of the musicians.

In fact, the artist's boyfriend was a young man named Kenneth Petty. It has nothing to do with music or acting. It is known that in his youth, Kenneth committed 2 serious crimes - at the age of 15 he raped a 14-year-old girl, and 4 years later he went to prison for murder. Despite the difficult past of her chosen one, Niki is sure that she will be happy with him. The couple are already thinking about having children.

Often Minaj became a participant in scandalous situations. In the summer of 2018, she unflatteringly spoke about her colleague Travis Scott, and soon she almost got into a fight with the singer Cardi B. The clash between the two artists took place during a Harper's Bazaar ICONS party in front of the public. Cardi swung her heel at Nicky from her sandals, after which the star's bodyguards took her outside. The conflict later continued on social media.

In August 2018, Minaj's 4th studio album was released, which was named Queen. Its release was preceded by the premiere of the singles "Chun-Li", "Barbie Tingz", as well as "Rich Sex" featuring Leel Wayne and "Bed" in a duet with Ariana Grande. The disc started at the second position of the Billboard 200 chart, but in terms of the number of copies sold it became the worst album of the artist.
