Minaj's birthplace is disputed to be either Queens, New York, or Trinidad. She was born to parents of Indian and Afro Trinidadian descent. She lived in Saint James, Trinidad and Tobago with her grandmother until age five, because her parents were looking for a place to live in the Queens borough of New York City. Her mother would occasionally visit, and one day, when Minaj was five, her mother picked her up to move to Queens. According to Minaj, her father drank alcohol, took drugs, and once tried to kill her mother by setting the house on fire. She attended Elizabeth Blackwell Middle School, where she played the clarinet. She graduated from LaGuardia High School. At LaGuardia, a school specializing in music and the visual and performing arts, Minaj participated in the drama program. She had initially planned to sing at LaGuardia, but lost her voice on the day of the audition. She once worked at a Red Lobster restaurant in the Bronx.(source wikipedia)
Thinking of what she came from and now, like the words of Mavado "from nothing to something", this real put things into prospect. however she ability in the music business as thrived and now she is what she is, one of the leading female artist in the business. further more she as been collaborating with some of the hottest names in the business. Artists like lil wayne, Drake,Usher, trey Song, Ludacris just to name a few.
Nicki Manaj's latest collaboration with will.i.am (William) from the black eyed peas as been blowing up the air waves everywhere. The twenty six year old star is a talented genius, her genuine personality and her talent as a rapper as grab the attention of most of the young people today. I can truly say that the video, artists, the lyrics and music was put together wonderfully to make the end product. thumbs up Nicki, you've done well. I applaud you, as a female for originality. Big Up. PEACE!!!
