I don't know why Nicki is not considered A-List by some of you. She's shown superstar power for 5 years now. It's why Idol hired her and Mariah for ratings, why she's been in a movie with Cameron Diaz and why she's brought up for her fashion choices and videos.
Nicki & Drake are definitely A listers. People who aren't including them are either comparing them to Brad, Angelina, Kim, Bey & Rih or simply just don't like them.
There's a huge reason why The Other Woman CREATED a role with Nicki in mind & casted her. There's a reason Idol & X Factor were fighting over having Nicki on their panels. Nicki Minaj the name is greatly known, & she's not as local as some of you are trying to claim.
Are you for ****ing real, that's like half of your fav's networth 
It must be very lowkey indeed.
