Minaj has made a lot of public appearances since this 2018 performance, including attending a film premiere and embarking on a intercontinental tour. So, why has the photo not been updated? Kamo0606 (talk) 14:43, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree and I am working on changing the photo, cause why are they using an unclear SCREENSHOT of her from her Vogue YouTube video while she was looking down and reading? Just weird and biased imo. Uhohbackagain (talk) 08:47, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added it as it's integral to the artist's career per sources that have written on her career and artistry. Writing her lyrics/raps is noted in many interviews and articles. From what I'd read, it's one of the factors to that set her apart and contributes to her significance to hip hop as a female rapper. Writing her raps is more significant to her career than her singing on some records. Although I don't think it should, if a role should be removed from the intro, I'd say singer as in terms of her vocal approach and writing, she's primarily notable as a rapper not a singer; as cited, her impact and rankings on best of lists are as a rapper/hip hop artist. But a number of sources do call her both a rapper and singer.
@Isjadd773: tagged the section as violating the policy of undue weight. I agree with this. It also violates WP:NOTEVERYTHING, namely WP:NOTNEWS and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. WP:ONUS applies. Much of that content is frivolous, routine celebrity news/trivia that is blown up due to the fame of the subject(s); much of it is media reporting on their own or social media speculation. Social media spats don't warrant its own separate section. Content that involves songs, much of which is speculation on who is talked about and what any of it may allude to, should go in the career section; it has no business being under personal life anyway. The only content that isn't music related and may be relevant to the personal life section is the altercation from Cardi B as it involved an attempt at a physical confrontation at an event. Anything else that is related to the routine speculation on "shading" in hip hop lyrics, as well as Minaj's commentary on the Recording Academy's genre decision, should go in the relevant Career section. Biggie is a featured article on a rapper that can be used as guidance. Lapadite (talk) 17:46, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This picture needs to be changed. It’s not cute and I think y’all are trying to be funny. If I have to, I’ll be on this everyday till I’m able to edit and I’ll change it myself Pointdexterbarb (talk) 23:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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. Thanks. Uhohbackagain (talk) 08:53, 11 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]
