The profile photo needs to be edited to a clear photo, this is a screenshot from a YOUTUBE video uploaded and owned by VOGUE, LINK: [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnUYLVW9Qj0 therefore it is a violation and also not a photo worthy or typical of being a profile photo. Therefore, it needs to be changed. I will be glad to provide recent non-intellectual property material as I have several. I have sent an email to Vogue to also take action and I'm hoping they see it. Thanks. Uhohbackagain (talk) 05:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh spare me, stop acting dense. Clearly English is not your first language and now you're trying to pretend like you weren't reverting changes back to undesired edits. We had settled this issue and here you come making reverts and acting messy, mind you this is not your first time doing this on Nicki Minaj's page and I have screenshots to prove this. Here is direct evidence of you reverting back changes over and over to unnecessary and messy edits:

I have way more evidence to back these claims and I am monitoring your moves. I have also left a message on your talk page and I would like to see your reply to that, as I am sure you do not have any. Uhohbackagain (talk) 11:05, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I enjoy the inclusion of Nicki Minaj as a gay icon in the public image section. After reading a scholarly article (cited below), I think the text would benefit from a little more context in early career or public image as well.
This idea of Nicki being a gay icon began in her mixtape days (2009). On her now re-released 2009 mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty, an exploration of queer identity and subjectivity is noted. Furthermore, this can been seen in interviews in which she claimed before stardom that she was a bisexual rapper. For example, in a interview with Details Magazine during this period of Beam Me Up Scotty. She was asked "As an openly claimed bisexual rapper, do you think hiphop is getting more gay-friendly? She responded with the follwing: "I think the world is getting more gay-friendly, so hiphop is too. But its harder to imagine an openly gay male rapper being embraced... But I think we'll see one in my lifetime." (Weiner, Jonah. "Nicki Minaj: Hip-Hop's Hottest Sidekick Goes Solo." Details. Condé Nast Publications. Läst 8 (2014).).
Despite her intial openness, Nicki had also faced backlash for remaining more elusive in her sexuality after stardom. This however does not take away the imapct of her early performance that is seen as encourging talk of black queerness and womanhood in hiphop culture.

I Believe that Minaj's founding of Heavy On It could include some examples of artists signed to the label.
According to Genius, the following artists are signed under the label: Tate Kobang and Lourdiz, both of which were collaborators on Minaj's Pink Friday 2. The two above artists were added by contributors to Genius, but I then cross referenced the artists mentioned by contributors with the official list of songs under the label on Genius, Confirming these two artists belong to Heavy On It!
