Rap Queen Nicki Minaj continues to get shiny Gold and Platinum gifts from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to add to her already well-decorated crown!
The same day Nicki learned she earned her history-making third Diamond plaque from the RIAA for her 2012 hit ‘Starships‘ soaring past the 10-million sold mark, she was also penciled in the organization’s logs for breaking or tying other major records as well.

Fellow award-winning rapstress Doja Cat ended October with good news that she had broken Nicki’s record for most Gold-certified singles among female rappers.

Ok but she doesn’t have classics-hits or Albums like Lauryn Hill.
So she’s maybe a queen but a queen of Pop-Rap and that’s not a very respectful title unlike:
Missy Elliott the queen of Hip Hop-Rap
Lauryn Hill is the queen of Soul-Rap
Cardy B and Doja Cat are princesses of Pop-Rap, which in other words mean these b****** are Nicki’s sons.

OH PLEASE!!!!!
Nicki Minaj won Best Female Hip-hop Artist 7 times in a row for a reason.
Lauryn Hill doesn’t have classic albums, she has one classic album. Love her but IJS..

All these records are fabricated, paid for and smoke and mirrors. Just more fodder for f***** bottom Stan’s to argue over.
