I don't know if this' been discussed before, but in this interview with Vogue she specifically says "I’m not American, I’m Trini." Her intro should be "...Trinidadian rapper..." Cornerstonepicker (talk) 08:43, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Jennica: @AlexWikiIDK: for opinions. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 19:30, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm seeing sources that say she has dual citizenship. 1, ". Minaj moved from Trinidad and Tobago to Queens when she was five, but we can't find out what her immigration status was at the time." 2. --Jennica✿ / ^talk 20:02, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"can also claim dual citizenship" I feel like is a compliment by XXL Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:32, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Cornerstonepicker: I'm sorry, but I am confused, why are we talking about Nicki and if I ever said anything about Nicki Minaj, I have Possibly put American, if not then I made a mistake but i believe it is not your job to correct me and @@Jennica:. And I also believe that I have put American Whenever I put something with Nicki. If I ever edited something and says my name on it, that means I edited a Specific part of the Page and not the Trinidadian-American Rapper part. Whatever you are talking about (lol) but my work is done. - AlexWikiIDK

@AlexWikiIDK: I @ you for an opinion on a change of terms, is not an accusation.. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 05:28, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cornerstonepicker: Well, I'm not really a person to talk opinions, on here, but maybe leave it American, She is from North America, And Trinidad and Tobago is in North America. - AlexWikiIDK @AlexWikiIDK and Cornerstonepicker: Isn't Trinidadian Born American rapper misleading? While Trinidad is part of North America I think it's a stretch as Drake for example wouldn't be identified as a Canadian Born, American rapper. Maybe It should be Trinidadian-American rapper to fully denote her dual citizenship? - Thoughts?
