Then for her closing song of the night she sang a medley of Only and All Things Go – the later is the most recent single from her upcoming album The Pinkprint and deals with a former engagement, death of a cousin and pregnancy scare.

Minaj was the first female artist included on MTV’s Annual Hottest MC List, and it was The New York Times that said she is “the most influential female rapper of all time”. Her rapping is distinctive for its fast flow and the use of alter egos and accents, primarily British cockney. In April last year, she became the most-charted female rapper in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, with over 44 appearances. Minaj has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. She has won four American Music Awards, eight BET Awards, two MTV Music Awards, an MTV Europe Music Award, five Billboard Music Awards and Billboard’s 2011 Rising Star award.
