Nicki Minaj is universally known as one of the most skilled women to ever pick up a microphone, especially in the rap world. These days, she has more competition than ever before but, for the last decade, Minaj has ruled as the Queen of hip-hop. She still holds a firm grasp of the throne, despite stars like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion challenging for her spot. One thing that she can boast that they cannot though is the fact that she's officially worth $100 million.

According to the verified Young Money page on Twitter, Nicki Minaj has just made history as the first female rapper to ever surpass a $100 million net worth. The star has not yet commented on the major financial achievement but we're sure she's elated about the news.
In recent weeks, Nicki Minaj has found herself back in gossip magazines as her husband, the controversial Kenneth Petty, was arrested after failing to register as a sex offender. She has remained silent since the latest drama involving her man broke out, but we wouldn't be surprised to eventually hear a clever bar from the rapper about her major money moves.
Do you think this is the start of even larger things for the Queen? Is she on her way to a billion?
Cardi B’s "Invasion Of Privacy" Becomes First Female Rap Debut To Chart For 100 Weeks
Cardi B's "Invasion Of Privacy" - the longest-charting female rap debut ever - just achieved another milestone.
It has been almost two years since Cardi B shook the world with the release of her debut album, Invasion Of Privacy. The songs on there hold up to this day and the charts reflect that people are still feverishly bumping them.
In January, IOP became tied with Lauryn Hill's classic, The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, for the longest-charting debut by a female rapper. At that point, both albums had spent 91 weeks on the Billboard 200. The following week, Cardi became the sole holder of this prestigious title, as IOP clenched its 92nd week on the chart and officially surpassed TMOLH's record.

Cardi's run did not stop there. IOH has gotten comfortable hanging out on the Billboard 200 and, according to the Chart Data Twitter page, its stay has now extended to span a monumental 100 WEEKS. Therefore, not only does Cardi have the longest-running female rap debut of all time; she is the first female rapper to have her debut spend a whole hundred weeks on the chart.
When Cardi achieved the longest-charting record in January, she shared the following message: "Thank you everybody ! Hopefully by the time I put my second album out IOP still charting .It will be dope to have two albums charting at the same time ! Ugh THE PRESSURE ! Thank you for the love . BGBGBG!” It seems likely she will secure that impressive milestone too.
