Young Money has crowned Nicki Minaj the “Queen of Rap.” The record label tweeted, “The title of “Queen of Rap” didn’t even exist until @NICKIMINAJ did the tingz that she did. And the Queen ain’t done yet. Get on ya knees.”
Fans chimed in, with one tweeting, “Shes the Queen & Hero of rap Weezy Hero & Goat of rap & Drake king of rap.” Another wrote, “I love Nicki but this is such an insult to the Missy Elliots, the Eves, the Lauryn Hills, the MC Lytes, the Da Brats, the Queen Latifahs, and the lil Kims, who at one point or the other have been the Queens of Rap in the last couple of decades.”
