In a landmark ranking, Billboard has crowned Nicki Minaj the greatest female rapper of all time.

Minaj’s dominance is evident, as she outranks hip-hop legends like Missy Elliott, Lauryn Hill, and Queen Latifah, who claim the second, third, and fifth spots, respectively. Lil’ Kim rounds out the top five, securing the fourth position.
The top 10 list was completed by MC Lyte, Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shanté, Eve, and Foxy Brown. Notably, Minaj’s contemporaries, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, fall outside the top 10, ranking 11th and 15th, respectively.
Despite her widespread acclaim and numerous accolades, Nicki Minaj remains Grammy-snubbed, a distinction that sets her apart from her rivals Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, who have both won Grammys in rap categories.
This anomaly only adds to the intrigue surrounding Minaj’s remarkable career, solidifying her position as one of the most talented and enduring artists in hip-hop history.
