Nicki Minaj just served up some piping hot opinions on the “current queen of pop” during a recent rendezvous with Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live.
In the epic showdown of truth bombs, hosted by the one and only Andy Cohen, Nicki found herself in the hot seat during the infamous “Plead the Fifth” game. Cohen, the puppet master of celebrity revelations, didn’t hold back and asked Nicki to spill the pop royalty beans.
Cue the drumroll, please!
Nicki, being the cunning wordsmith that she is, didn’t drop a straightforward answer. Instead, she swirled her imaginary pop culture cocktail and dished out some names of fellow music mavens she can’t help but admire.
After a moment that probably felt longer than waiting for your pizza delivery, Nicki finally spilled the pop-flavored tea. In a move that left us all on the edge of our seats, she declared, “Um, I don’t know. The people that are in the industry now, like, they’ve already put in their work. So, they’re queens in their own right.”
Hold onto your wigs, because Nicki revealed the two musical goddesses who hold a special place in her heart. With a dramatic pause that could rival a soap opera cliffhanger, she dropped the bombshell: “There are two women that I have looked up to in the music industry since I’ve come in it in a different way. Just because of who they are and where I’m from and who I am. Of course, Bey and Ri [Beyoncé and Rihanna].”
Nicki Minaj, the maestro of mystery, has spoken. The pop throne may be crowded, but Beyoncé and Rihanna have secured their VIP spots in Nicki’s heart. Now, let the pop music games continue, and may the queens reign supreme in this whimsical world of glitter and glamour!
