There is no female rapper like Nicki Minaj currently on the planet. If there is, she's been hiding herself rather well. This is because, for one, Minaj doesn’t restrict herself to rap. She’s versatile enough to cross over into pop, soul, even R & B, and brave enough to showcase all of these and other sides in her music. The downside to this approach, naturally, is she makes fans of one genre happy at the risk of annoying others. Fans of all genres buy her music though, so she still wins.
