13. Lizzo
Lizzo, also known as Melissa Jefferson, is based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She has transcended the music industry genres of rap, hip-hop, alternative, and indie music. Not only that, but this pioneer helped to form the groups The Chalice, Grrrl Prty, The Clerb, and Absynthe. Yeah, she’s kind of a big deal. She is also an inspiration, using her music to speak out against body bashing and racial slurs. She is not afraid to call out the “African-American myths” out there, and she is also refusing to be defined by race, religion, or gender. Sounds like a true fighter to us!
12. Nicki Minaj
Who does not know of Nicki Minaj? The 33-year-old rapper is just as hot and determined as her younger counterparts. Her Trinidadian roots really come out in her songs, making her unique and cutting-edge in the music industry. That is especially important today since you have to do something special to have staying power. Some of her hit songs include “Anaconda,” “Super Bass,” “Bang Bang,” and “Starships.” She may be short (just 5-foot, 2-inches) but she is amply endowed, for sure. Currently, she is dating artistMeek Mill and the two were photographed together for GQ Magazine in the fall of 2015.
