Minaj has made a lot of public appearances since this 2018 performance, including attending a film premiere and embarking on a intercontinental tour. So, why has the photo not been updated? [[User:Kamo0606|Kamo0606]] ([[User talk:Kamo0606|talk]]) 14:43, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
== Feuds too long ==


== Jobs in lead ==
CC {{reply to|Flabshoe1}} I generally agree with the content of the feuds, however I think it relies way too much on directly quoting everything. Not just from Minaj but also the women she is feuding with.


Hi, @[[User:Lapadite|Lapadite]] has recently {{diff|||1241978998|added}} "{{tq|songwriter}}" to the first sentence, but I (still) don't find the word lead-worthy cuz I'm pretty sure Minaj hasn't been ''commonly'' called such. [[User:Thedarkknightli|Thedarkknightli]] ([[User talk:Thedarkknightli|talk]]) 19:08, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
I think there can be a way to succinctly summarize the feuds while not basically copypasting what either of the two were saying... can we use some of the referenced articles descriptions of the situation instead? thanks [[User:PHShanghai|PHShanghai | they/them]] ([[User talk:PHShanghai|talk]]) 08:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
: I added it as it's integral to the artist's career per sources that have written on her career and artistry. Writing her lyrics/raps is noted in many interviews and articles. From what I'd read, it's one of the factors to that set her apart and contributes to her significance to hip hop as a female rapper. Writing her raps is more significant to her career than her singing on some records. Although I don't think it should, if a role should be removed from the intro, I'd say singer as in terms of her vocal approach and writing, she's primarily notable as a rapper not a singer; as cited, her impact and rankings on best of lists are as a rapper/hip hop artist. But a number of sources do call her both a rapper and singer.

== Feud section requires a significant trim ==

The section is way too long and filled with a lot of trivial information. Not arguing that the feuds should be remove but rather that the paragraphs should be condensed. Currently the feud section is longer than the artistry section as well as the legacy and achievements sections combined. It's undue negative weight.

"On January 26, 2024, Minaj teased a diss track against fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion called "Big Foot" on Instagram live in response to the latter's "Hiss" single, which was followed by a series of tweets concerning the feud by Minaj within the course of hours.[299][300] A few hours prior to the release of "Big Foot", Minaj disclosed that her team was waiting for producer Lil Juju "to clear that beat that [she] had for 6 years." Minaj then suggested that Megan tried to prevent the diss track from coming out despite the fact she hadn't "even heard the song." Minaj tweeted, "It's been [ready] for 2 days. Just was tryna be cool & let her get lil streams. Wasn't gon say anything. But remember how everyone kept my name in their mouth and how I said the next person mention my family gon regret it. Btw, they haven't even heard the song. Who said it's even a 'diss?'"[301]
"Big Foot" was officially released on January 28, 2024, at 9 PST after having had a push back to six hours later than initially planned.[302] The track was accompanied by an acapella version, so that, in Minaj's words: "other producers all around the world can make their own beat."[303] Various publications reported that the song was poorly received by critics and fans, who criticized the production, the rap flow, and the shots at Megan for being lacking in quality.[304][305][306] "Big Foot" broke first-day records for the highest solo female rap debut in Apple Music history and the biggest solo female rap debut on YouTube in 2024.[307][308] However, after its strong first-day debut, the song fell off quickly in streams and ultimately debuted at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.[309] It extended Minaj's record as the female rapper with the most, and woman with the second-most, top-tens (46) on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, behind Aretha Franklin (52).[310]" should not be where it is placed in the article, and instead should only be within the "Feuds" section.

Profile photo update

Minaj has made a lot of public appearances since this 2018 performance, including attending a film premiere and embarking on a intercontinental tour. So, why has the photo not been updated? Kamo0606 (talk) 14:43, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jobs in lead

Hi, @Lapadite has recently added "songwriter" to the first sentence, but I (still) don't find the word lead-worthy cuz I'm pretty sure Minaj hasn't been commonly called such. Thedarkknightli (talk) 19:08, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added it as it's integral to the artist's career per sources that have written on her career and artistry. Writing her lyrics/raps is noted in many interviews and articles. From what I'd read, it's one of the factors to that set her apart and contributes to her significance to hip hop as a female rapper. Writing her raps is more significant to her career than her singing on some records. Although I don't think it should, if a role should be removed from the intro, I'd say singer as in terms of her vocal approach and writing, she's primarily notable as a rapper not a singer; as cited, her impact and rankings on best of lists are as a rapper/hip hop artist. But a number of sources do call her both a rapper and singer.
Here are some of the sources that mention songwriter: NME, American Songwriter, Encyclopædia Britannica, HotNewHipHop, Vogue, Revolt, NYT, Between the Lines, The New Indian Express, The Source. Lapadite (talk) 02:17, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
