It would be unfair to say that Nicki Minaj has lived her fifteen minutes and will fade away along with other fads. As she states, the pop culture icon status hit her completely by surprise. Her talent as an artist and her uncensored vision have allowed her to reach out further into the music realm. With a good head on her shoulders and the strength to do it all without depending on anybody else, there's not much she can’t attain.
Minaj has stated several times that she still considers acting as a possible part of her future. The big screen might be glamorous for some, but with her education and experience in Shakespeare and Broadway-type acting, many signs point to Nicki possibly taking the stage in more dramatic performances.
Whether sharing her talents with viewers or listeners, one thing is certain: Nicki Minaj has carved out a name for herself in the hip-hop scene, and that piece of her life and her passion will always be a prominent part of who she is.
