Onika Tanya Maraj (born December 8, 1982 ), better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, is a rapper and singer-songwriter who was born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago, but moved to the Queens borough of New York City as a child and graduated from LaGuardia High School in 2003. She released her first mixtape Playtime Is Over in 2007, which was followed by Sucka Free and Beam Me Up Scotty in 2008 and 2009, respectively. Minaj was discovered by fellow American rapper Lil Wayne and signed a deal to Young Money Entertainment with distribution from Universal Motown in August 2009.
Her debut studio album Pink Friday (2010) became a commercial success, peaking atop of the U.S. Billboard 200 and being certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a month after its release. She became the first artist ever to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Her second single, “Your Love”, reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, making Minaj the first female artist to top the chart unaccompanied since 2002. She also became the first female artist to be included on MTV’s Annual Hottest MC List.

“…who was born in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago…”
she was born twice?
what a croc
Sh1t docu, sh1t artist; but let’s not fool ourselves – I’d pump her so I’d buy whatever garbage she is selling.
Who cares she is making money regardless of her crappy music she made herself a product and sh eis selling. Fuck it I can’t hate.
Wow so she has always been as phony as that new bionic booty of hers
Garbage product. She is a weirdo, and that’s not good. *So* odd. Who wears brass knuckles in promotional photographs? Oh, that’s right — punks and hoodlums and skanks.
Woah. Someone who has this much of a problem with society shouldn’t be watching this video. Don’t be a pretentious stuck up bitch!
Didn’t bother watching the film, shes a manufactured product of the music industry, she dose not even make her music , she just raps to pre-made beats like every other pop icon,
same as beyonce, kanye west and all the rest of them, its all marketing aimed at kids just like david guetta , never made a song of his own in his life yet he’s paid the most because hes “famous” for DJing
………….. ahh the wonders of PR and having a multi million dollar marketing group behind non existent tallent on huge record labels,
shame how real music gets kicked to the kerb just because it didnt feature on xfactor or MTV ,
pop music sucks the fattest cock
Some interest for fans maybe; but lacks any entertainment value!
fuk the haterz nikki is a real barbie bitch ehhhh dnt like her get ova it boo “thou shall not judge” SO WHO THE FUK R U 2 JUDGE ANYONE?? jus sayn
You my dear need to learn how to spell correctly.
Newsflash, you’re not black.
Newsflash, you’re not a Klingon
Newsflash, you do not matter.
Hold on, she was born in 1982 but graduated high school in 2003?? You mean to tell me she was 21 when she graduated?
I thought the same thing, but if you watch the first 90 seconds of the doc, it says she was born in 84.
ha ha i had the same thought! still she was smart enough to fill herself with collagen and make a mint!
She has so many different personality, sometimes bad girl or funk. Outrageous.
More than just a rapper.

Rick Ross IS Kimo Slice?
Really? This is not something of any importance……Let’s educate with documentaries, not continue the dumb down process that is going on in society. I am really shocked this channel posted a link on a meaning less topic. I guess that’s why most people believe 9/11, The “Tom Black” munitions explosion, Pearl Harbor, Attack on the US Liberty, Osama was not a CIA operative, Henry Kissinger did orchestrate governments with assassinations. Also that Brzezinski did not create and give weapons to militants in Afghanistan, which created the “so call” terrorist groups.(Which was only design to take away or to have you give away your civil liberties for protection). Brzezinski is the puppet master of Obama’s administration as well as Kissinger. This is so sad and I’m disappointed….A least post a video on Sovereignty or expose the reason the District of Columbia was created. Explain how people became “Corporations”, “franchises” and “straw men” of the district of Columbia. Wake up!!!!!!! They are about to check mate you….
Really man? Is it even worth spouting on a video for a pop star. If you really know what you were talking about you would have the confidence to declare it in a public arena and not just some trivial video on the internet.
I’m pretty sure she is only famous because she has a nice body. Her music sound’s like beyonce or any other hot chick who is singing a song that’s not appealing to male audiences. I didn’t watch the video, it bores me, but I heard her singing at the very beginning of the video. I’m pretty sure I could tear her up in a rap battle. The only decent female rap artist I’ve heard are Lil Kim and Missy Elliott
You couldn’t beat her in a rap battle! She is a raper!

Umm…I think you mean a ‘rapper’.
