Nicki Minaj Weighs In On Mount Rushmore Of Rap
Nicki Minaj rightfully earned her place on the Mount Rushmore of Rap.
Following a heated debate on social media, the rapper was awarded the fourth and final spot on the Spotify x RapCaviar Mount Rushmore of the 2010s, joining Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole.
Fans weighed in on who deserved the final spot. Nicki won with nearly 40 percent of the vote, followed by Kanye West, Future, and Lil Wayne.
While promoting her new single “Do We Have a Problem?” on Power 106, Nicki admitted that everyone has a different Mt. Rushmore and that it’s all “subjective.” However, there’s no denying her impact on the culture.
“But do I know that Onika Tanya is supposed to be there? Yes, I do because influence is key,” she said. “If you go on social media and if you pull up any female rapper, you can see Nicki Minaj is influencing them, then of course I should be on the Mt. Rushmore because I mean that’s freakin’ obvious.”
She continued, “That would be like asking should Lil Wayne be on Mt. Rushmore for the previous Mt. Rushmore. It’s no denying it. It’s not bragging, it’s not nothing, it is what it is.”
