Alter EgosAfter winning many awards throughout 2009 – 2011, Nicki puts her success down to her alter egos that she created in her head as a scared child. She now uses these alter egos for different types of

music.

As the success of Pink Friday continues to grow, Nicki has become more and more involved in charity events to help others. The first big

concert that she took part in was VH1 DIVAS salute the troop’s benefit, where she hosted and took part in the show, singing her hit Super Base. Next came a copy of Girls Just Want To Have Fun with

Katy Perry, where they came out in skimpy troops uniforms.

This year Nicki was also named “Face of Mac Lipstick”, together with Ricky Martin, to contribute all profits from the sale of the beauty products to go in aid of fighting HIV and AIDS. This campaign has

featured many celebrities before and is considered a great honor to help people all over the world. Previous ambassadors include Adam

Lambert, Queen Latifa, The Kardashians, Lady Gaga, Fergie and many more.

Fashion

Fashion has made a big influence on Nicki’s career; her outgoing and quirky style pushes the boundaries of everyday living with skin tight

outfits made from plastic, leather, feathers and anything else imaginable. She has been compared to Lady Gaga on many occasions;

she also stands out with her hair, which ranges from pink, black, orange, green, and blonde - she done it all. At the 2011 Grammy Awards she turned up in head to toe leopard print with a blonde

“Bride of Frankenstein” beehive hairdo with a black stripe.

Problems

Even with all success, Nicki’s career has its downfalls. Before Minaj there was only one well known female rapper, Lil Kim and she did not take kindly to the new kid on the block, after a lot off ongoing twitter argument Lil Kim released an album entitled Black Friday mocking

Minaj, on the cover off Black Friday was a very controversial picture of Minaj with her head being cut off by Lil Kim. The ongoing battle between these two stars is getting bigger and bigger everyday.

“Refuse to lose. Refuse to be defeated. Refuse to have regrets” Nicki Minaj

After 3 years off collaborations, Nicki has decided that after the release of “Where Them Girls At, Ft David Guetta and Flo Rider. She won’t be doing any more collaboration until 2014, so her fans can

really hear her music.
