Her debut album, “Pink Friday,” first hit the music scene in November of 2010 and broke down many barriers for women in the rap genre. Considering it was her first full-length album, she managed to have several notable features including Eminem, Rihanna, Drake, and Kanye West.
The critically acclaimed album went on to debut at number two on the Billboard 200 and ultimately went on to reach number one on the charts. She was also nominated for Best Rap Album and Best New Artist at the 54th Grammy awards in 2012 for the album.
Speaking from the sales and overall acclaim standpoint, the album was ground-breaking in the industry and successful in the rap realm. For this reason, a brand new documentary-style series being announced on the anniversary of its release could be considered a big deal to many of her fans and followers alike.
Most recently Minaj gave birth to her first child and along with her new motherly duties, the COVID-19 pandemic is also still in effect.
