5. Nicki Minaj
It isn’t new for a female in the rap game to try and use her sexuality to appeal to audiences, since Lil Kim often dressed in pasties and Foxy Brown was famous for wearing swimsuit tops and bras as shirts. However, Nicki Minaj is a different kind of female rapper that has been able to gain huge commercial appeal through her girlish looks. From a line with Mac Cosmetics to a lucrative deal with Myx Fusions, she is more than just a girl that can rap.
Although she may be in a predominantly male genre, she is excelling in this category and continually sells millions with each new album. While she started off with a bubble- gum type of style, it has quickly morphed into continued versions of nude pics. The “Anaconda” video was the most recent depiction of this female rapper that made headlines, and even made it onto daytime TV with a parody on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Since the public has seen almost every inch of Nicki Minaj, many wish she would go back to the “Super Bass” style that made audiences fall in love with her in the beginning.
