Trinidadian Nicki Minaj has been crowned the greatest female rapper of all time by Billboard.
The Queen of Rap, known for her lyrical prowess, chart dominance, and cultural impact, topped the list of the Best Female Rappers of All Time.
Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, Lil’ Kim, and Queen Latifah rounded out the top five.
MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shanté, Eve, and Foxy Brown completed the top 10. Notably, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, two of Minaj’s biggest rivals, ranked outside the top 10, with Cardi B at number 11 and Megan Thee Stallion at number 15.
Despite being widely regarded as the greatest female rapper in history, Nicki Minaj has yet to win a Grammy Award.
In contrast, her rivals Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have both won Grammys in rap categories.
