Minaj is famous for her ever-changing hair color and outlandish outfits, and boasts more than a dozen chart-toppers, including "Trollz," her collaboration with controversial rapper 6ix9ine, and "Super Freaky Girl." She also has had numerous Top 10 hits, like "Super Bass," "Starships" and "Do We Have a Problem?" with Lil Baby.

The 41-year-old native of Trinidad and Tobago has achieved many firsts, including becoming the first woman to score 100 Billboard Hot 100 hits, with more than 130 total entries. In 2020, her first No. 1 single came with the remix of Doja Cat's "Say So," marking the first team-up between two female rap artists to top the charts.
