Renowned American rapper and singer, Nicki Minaj has credited Lil Wayne for her career success, saying he “single-handedly changed” her life.
She made this known while introducing Wayne to the stage at her recent concert amid wild cheers from an electrifying crowd.
Prostrating three times for Wayne, she described him as “the best rapper alive.”
Nicki Minaj said, “Make some noise for the man that single-handedly changed my life.
“I am nobody without you. I don’t give a damn how long I’ve been in this game, I think you are the best rapper alive. Thank you for changing my life.”
However, Lil Wayne said he would have agreed with her that he is the best rapper alive “but there is a certain person by the name of Nicki Minaj” who is better than him.
Last year, Lil Wayne brought out Nicki Minaj for a surprise performance on Day 2 of the festival in Inglewood, Calif. Midway through his headlining set on Saturday night, Weezy welcomed the queen for a medley of hits, starting with “BedRock.”
“Ladies and gentlemen, no need of an introduction. The motherfu**in’ queen,” Wayne told the crowd.
Rocking long pink hair and a Chanel backpack, Nicki performed her “High School” collaboration with Wayne before launching into her chart-topping smash “Super Freaky Girl” and her brand new single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” stopping the song to ask why the instrumental was offbeat.
Nicki Minaj started her career under Lil Wayne’s record label, Young Money, alongside Drake.
