Stand up, everybody, because the Queen has arrived! On Dec. 8, the Queen of Rap Onika Tanya Maraj (a.k.a Nicki Minaj) set Instagram on fire with her birthday pictures. The Seeing Green rapper turned 39 and blessed her 164 million Barbz with outtakes from her birthday shoot.
The risqué pictures left the internet with jaws dropped, trended on Twitter all day, and garnered over 7 million likes on Instagram. Scroll for a full view of the stunning pictures.
The Pinkprint
Minaj always maintained she’s the pink print (blueprint) for female rappers. She chose the word pink because that’s been her color since she came into the game in 2007. When you look up the color pink in the dictionary, you’ll probably see Nicki Minaj’s picture.
Her love for the color pink is so profound that this birthday picture isn’t the first time she’s wearing a ”Barbie pink” wig. The Yikes rapper’s studio is pink, so are some of her properties – a Lamborghini, an iPhone from fellow rapper Young Thug, and so much more.
Nicki The Harajuku Barbie
Like her song Itty Bitty Piggy states, Nicki Minaj is "the boss, the Ninja, and the Harajuku Barbie." Of all her alter egos, she has the most fun with Harajuku Barbie because she dresses up in bright pink colors, looking like a doll.
In honor of her favorite hue, the Real Housewives Of Potomac wore shades of pink for their reunion, which Minaj co-hosted. Although it started as a joke when the housewives remixed Minaj’s classic Moment For Life, longtime host Andy Cohen invited her to co-host an episode, and it worked out.
Birthday Suit In Pink Hair
The pictures in question feature the Queen rapper, skyrocket high platform heels, pink rolled-up hair, and a giant teddy bear. The first pose has her in a waitress-style position hoisting a cake with candles in one hand and holding her boobs with the other. We’re not surprised she nailed the pose since she mentioned working at Red Lobster in her MTV documentary.
In the second picture, the mom of one is sitting on the teddy while turning back to look coyly at the camera. Although she opened her comment section to receive well-wishes from friends and fans alike, the Crocodile teeth rapper closed it again after seven million-plus birthday wishes.
Diamond Certified Nicki Minaj
Minaj continues to break records in the rap game as the RIAA certified her 2010 single Superbass Diamond for selling over 10 million copies. She also received the MTV EMA 2021 award (fan-voted) for Best Female Rapper.
Nicki Minaj is one of the only artists to boast devoted fans following as her Barbz are ever-ready to ride for her. Other artists with enormous followings include K-pop boy group BTS, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Beyonce.
