As we reported here, Nicki Minaj racked up two new shiny prism-shaped trophies at the 2020 American Music Awards (AMAs) after picking up wins in the Favorite Female Rap Artist and Favorite Latin Song categories.

Extending her overall AMA collection to 8, she not only sits as the event’s most awarded female rapper but also tied Eminem for the all-time record among all emcees in the process.

Though she wasn’t on-hand at the ceremony to offer an acceptance speech at the fan-voted show Sunday night (November 22), she took to her personal Instagram page Monday (November 23) to ensure her devoted supporters – affectionately called #Barbz – were aware of her gratitude.
