Nicki Minaj's real name is Onika Tanya Maraj.

Nicki Minaj's real name is Onika Tanya Maraj. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, the American pop star is currently one of the most successful female rappers / singers around. She hit it big back in 2010 when her album Pink Friday was released. The album included popular hit singles such as "Massive Attack", "Your Love" and "Check It Out", which featured Black Eyed Peas member will.i.am. Her latest singles include "I Am Your Leader" and "Va Va Voom".

Super Bass
This is an animated gif of Nicki Minaj sitting on a motorbike in the music video for Super Bass, which was released back in 2010. The song reached 4,000,000 digital downloads in America alone:



Another one...
Here's another one from the music video Super Bass in which she is wearing a striped dress and there's a whole bunch of luminosity going on...



Crying
In this gif, she's wiping a single tear from her cheeks. Not sure what video this one is from. Looks like a good image reply to use whenever you're wanting to sarcastically express your lack of sadness at something:



Beez In The Trap
This is from "Beez In The Trap", which featured rapper 2 Chainz. This was from her second album "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded". According to Minaj, the meaning of the song is this: "I beez doing such-and-such-and-such.' So it's really like, 'I am always in the trap.' Now, the trap, ladies and gentlemen, relates to anywhere where you get your money". Yea, I don't know what the hell she is talking about either...



Overly happy...
I love this one simply because of how over-the-top her facial expression / smile is. A great reaction gif to use whenever you feel like being a sarcastic douche bag and express fake delight. Not sure where this one is from:



Knockout
This is from the Lil Wayne song "Knockout". In this gif, Nicki Minaj is bootie grinding up against the New Orleans rapper. I still can't believe that Lil Wayne is only 30 years old. It feels as if he has been around forever.



Get slapped...
"And yes you'll get slapped if you're looking, hoe..." Those are the immortal words of our generation:



Happy
Here's one where's she's being shaking her head and being overly happy:



Crazy
The dismissive / weirded-out look on her face makes this one a great reaction gif.



Biting nail
Here's one of her nervously biting her nails.



With Drake
Here's one of Nicki Minaj sitting on the lap of Canadian singer Drake, whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham.



Starships
Here's two gifs of her in the music video Starships, which was released in February 2012. The video was shot on Oahu Island in Hawaii in March of the same year. The video mostly consisted of her frolicking around the sea shore in a bikini and shaking her booty:





The Boys
Here are a few of her with RnB singer Cassie (real name Cassandra Ventura). These are from the music video for the song "The Boys". Cassie hit it big back in 2006 when her single "Me and U" became a major hit.





Here's two gifs where she's strutting around while "the boys" chase her.





Who Cares?
Here's one where Nicki Minaj is all like "Who cares?" I'm not entirely sure where this one is from.



Blowing a kiss
Here she is blowing a kiss and giving a wink...
