Within just six years in the mainstream rap game, she has more Hot 100 entries + more top ten hits on the Hot 100 than any other female rapper. In 2012, The New York Times hailed her as arguably being the most influential female rapper of all time! (x)

In 2015, Nicki won her sixth consecutive award for Best Female Hip-Hop artist, becoming the female rapper with the most wins in that category ever!

Ms. Minaj was also the first solo female rapper to perform on the Grammy Awards stage!

So...
Is she?

in her field, well yes, kinda

Not yet, but she's an icon this decade for sure.

She's on her way.

Legend, no.

Icon, yes.

Yes

Not yet.

Yes. I think it's safe to say she has surpassed ever other female rapper there ever was in terms on impact and commercial success.

You troll

Of course not

Absolutely not.

nope af

At the moment she's only a legend in middle america but I can see it happening WW with her next album

She definitely will be in the future since she has no competition. She'll be known as the biggest female rap artist in history.

Nope.

Undeniable ICON but not close to a legendary status.

She has alot of ground to cover to become a legend even in female rap.

it's like calling One direction legends because of their tour grosses.

There are many elements to being a legend.

But as I said before Icon for sure.

No.

She is an icon.

yeah it's kinda undeniable

No but Iggy is

She'll need more than one more album.
But an icon for now.

Not yet. She will be for sure though.
