I like the to think that The Generous Queen Speaks Nothing but facts. Nicki Minaj really is a baller and not just in the game, but in real life! She is often contested but continues to come out on top consistently quite like LeBron James. Just see why Nicki is the Lebron of Hip-Hop.
1. Her Queen Title is Often Contested
Critics never want to give Nicki or Lebron their props. Nicki made female rap huge and took female rap worldwide. She has consistently been compared to past artists in the game. Despite setting new records and breaking old records, critics have not yet completely given her props a rap queen.
LeBron faces the same struggle, despite breaking some of Jordan’s records, finals records, and being the number one player in the NBA the critics consistently attempt to poke holes in his talents.
2. Draymond Green Has a mini-issue with them both but is still friendly
Draymond called Nicki out for constantly comparing herself to LeBron. He continued to share his opinions of her rapping during her beef with Remy Ma. Even before the 2017 NBA Finals, Green verbalized his desire to take on LeBron and the Cavs. He had a lot to say about how he was ready to match up with Cavaliers in the finals. Although, in public interactions with the two, Draymond was nothing but friendly and comedic. He was even pictured posing with Nicki despite his opinion on her.
All I can say is 'I don't need no frauds….Act like they love me, but hate me in pri-i-vate!' (Nicki’s Voice of Course)
3. They try to Team Up Against her to defeat her
Counting the times that other female rappers have come together to take Nicki down is quite interesting. Quite like The Warriors and KD. A superteam. Of course, I’ll disregard Remy Ma’s Summer Jam performance in which she brought out a group of female rappers.
We’ll just call that unity despite the fact that she performed her diss record aimed at Nicki, "ShEther." While Remy’s motives may have been doubled sided, her issues with Nicki does not exactly reflect the majority of the rappers that she had perform with her. But there was Lil' Kim and Remy. Who knows which pair or group will be next?
4. Drake has written lyrics about them both!
Did you forget about Drake’s song Forever in which Drake created along with Kanye West, Eminem, Lil Wayne as a soundtrack to LeBron’s documentary, More than a Game
Not forget other references, but that’s a long list to dive on into!
Of course, Drake has referenced his Young Money Partner, Nicki. Here’s a taste to jog your memory. ‘I love Nicki Minaj/I told her I’d admit it/I hope one day we get married just to say we f***ing did it/ And girl I’m f***ing serious/ I’m with it if you with it/’cause your verses turn me on and your pants are mighty fitted” in his song, Miss Me.
