Nikki Minaj's dominance and impact in the music industry
Nikki Minaj is a highly acclaimed and successful artist, often referred to as the best-selling female rapper of all time. Her unique style, alter egos, and animated flow have made her a true original in the industry. She has achieved numerous commercial successes and holds several records, including having more entries in the Hot 100 than any other female artist in history. Nikki Minaj's artistry and commercial accomplishments have paved the way for other female rappers like Cardi B to rise to prominence.
Cardi B's likability and relatability as an artist and person
Cardi B, known for her infectious and enjoyable pop music, has quickly become one of the most beloved and relatable personalities in the music industry. Her authenticity, unapologetic nature, and sense of humor have endeared her to fans around the world. Cardi B's ability to make every line sound like it comes from her and her knack for selecting songs that reflect her image have contributed to her success. People admire her for embracing her true self and her inspirational journey from being a scrappy underdog to achieving remarkable success as a rapper.
For much of the 2010s, Nicki Minaj was the most successful female rapper on the planet, selling more albums than any woman in hip-hop ever. But then a former exotic dancer, reality show star, and political science major named Cardi B exploded on the scene, stealing much of Minaj's thunder in the process. Nicki, of course, was not about to take this lying down, sparking a war of words that culminated with an infamous shoe-throwing incident. In the end, however, is this feud really about the sexism of an industry in which only one female MC is allowed to succeed at once?
