After “Pink Friday” hit platinum, she appeared on “Saturday Night Live.”

Nicki Minaj has performed at the 2012 Super Bowl, and was the first female solo rapper to sing at the Grammy Awards. This year she joined the cast of “American Idol.” She is famous for feuding with Mariah Carey, Clive Tanaka, and Lil Kim, to name a few.
