It kind of depends. On Nickis mixtapes, a lot of people liked her. Massive Attack got backlash, but her debut album was GREAT. Iggy faces a lot of criticism, but yet still has more mainstream success than Nicki.

One #1 = more mainstream success?
Let's not act like PF didn't make more in it's first week than what it took Iggy months to sale. And Iggy had three flop singles before Fancy. Nicki only had one (MA) and two other singles that at least went Top 40 before M4L.
Iggy hasn't dealt with anything. The GP loves her. More people kiss her ass than hate on her.
Nicki's been trashed since her mixtape days up until now.
That's a lie. Romans Revenge? Did It On Em? Those are the reasons her debut was as big as it is. She always does something very silly or too controversial. IE: All of those pop songs during her 2nd album, Stupid H*e, LAN cover, Only's video... she digs holes for herself.
Lets not make this a Nicki vs Iggy success thread please. And to answer the OP, Nicki.
That's what happens when you're winning. Nicki was everywhere from late 09-13 with Idol. She owned those 4 years for female rap, and still does. She was getting way more attention that most rappers, and was making moves in genres and areas that most people would never cross. Iggy is here for a few bops here and there, but she isn't someone people care to really talk about so that's why she isn't hated. That's not shade, just facts.
Nicki did receive some backlash, but Iggy had it worse and is still not accepted.
