Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is one of rap’s best-selling female artists. But before that, she grew up in Trinidad with an alcoholic father who burned the family’s house down.
“Growing up in Trinidad, I didn’t know that we were poor,” Nicki Minaj said. “Ten people living in a three-bedroom home and all the dogs and cats my grandmother had, none of that seemed really abnormal.” Minaj always wanted to break into the business, but before finally getting her big shot, she had to juggle between fifteen unstable jobs.
