Of course not, that comparison would make no sense.
Nicki's real, everyday accent isn't Trinidadian, it's American. She's lived in America since she was like 5. So saying Nicki constantly rapping in an American accent is as fraudulent as Iggy (who naturally speaks with a very distinctive Australian accent, but always attempts to sound like a southerner while rapping) isn't the same.
Also, when Nicki does occasionally rap with a cockney accent it's usually momentary & solely for theatrical purposes.
