Released seven months after the original, The Re-Up features seven newly recorded songs and an exclusive behind-the-scenes footage DVD.

Minaj was inspired by R&B singer Monica, singing "Why I Love You So Much" at every talent show she entered. Performing in Atlanta on her Pink Friday Tour, she called Monica one of her all-time greatest musical influences.

She first gained recognition after releasing three mixtapes between 2007 and 2009. New York City, U.S. Minaj's debut album, Pink Friday (2010), topped the US Billboard 200 chart; its single "Super Bass" reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified diamond by the RIAA.

Nicki Minaj's “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” has now surpassed 2 BILLION streams on Spotify 🤯💿 She becomes the FIRST female rapper to have three or more albums over 2b.

Starships "Starships" was released as the lead single from the album on February 14, 2012.

But she's overcome incredible adversity, has confidence in herself, knows how to be successful, has established an empire for herself and is highly resourceful. Maybe every young girl shouldn't be exactly like her, but it wouldn't hurt to take a few notes from her.

She became a thoughtful singer. She became a risky performer. She invented new personae. More than any other rapper in the mainstream, she pushed hard against expectations, and won.

According to Billboard, Minaj has “undeniably blazed the trail for the next generation of female MCs, while at the same time, building a legacy whose impact is hardly limited to the hip-hop world: Nicki is one of only a dozen artists to have more than 100 Billboard Hot 100 entries, and earned the MTV Video Vanguard ...

Minaj has indelibly changed the landscape for artists in hip-hop for the past decade, showing a complex visage: the ferocious emcee ("Monster," "Itty Bitty Piggy") who's just as comfortable being the girl-next-door ("Right Thru Me"), glammed-up Barbie doll or rambunctious alter-ego Roman Zolanski.

Who Has Recorded the Most Songs in the World? Asha Bhosle, the iconic Indian singer, holds the title for the most recorded artist in music history. Surpassing her sister Lata Mangeshkar's previous record of 25,000 songs, Bhosle's remarkable career spans over seven decades.
