00:00I remember I would never see any female rapper wearing pink hair.
00:03Pink hair became a part of that starter kit.
00:06Every female rapper will put on a pink wig.
00:11Nicki Minaj has been a trendsetter for over a decade with her iconic bars, beauty, and her notorious hairstyles.
00:19This is the hair evolution of Nicki Minaj.
00:22She first hit the scene in 2009 with the Be Me Up Scotty mixtape.
00:30Minaj kicked off her era sporting blunt black bangs with Pepto-pink undertones.
00:35She was the first to hit the hip-hop scene with the pink wig and toe.
00:39As her star ascended, the beauty renegade gave us even more color.
00:43Minaj gave us a spectrum of hues and cuts that transformed her pink highlights into
00:48orange bob cuts, blue hair, green hair, pink updos with dimension, multicolored hair,
00:57and even two-tone printed styles.
01:00When it came to performances in red carpet, Minaj put out all the theatrics.
01:05She gave us a towering leopard print moment that only she could pull off.
01:09Nicki Minaj is a mood.
01:10I stopped wearing black hair because it made me feel depressed.
01:13Like, and when I would look in the mirror wearing pink hair or blonde hair, I would get like
01:18this burst of excitement.
01:19So, um, you know, when I'm in a great, great mood, I wear the brightest hair and I kind
01:24of bring that mood where I go.
01:26No one does blonde bombshell like the Barbie Teens rapper.
01:30Queen Nicki has done it all from teased out asymmetrical tresses, futuristic froze, and
01:36flowing platinum locks.
01:37It wasn't until her earth-shattering pink print era that the Feeling Myself rapper decided
01:43to recalibrate her look by ditching the over-the-top wigs in favor of her natural hair.
01:48The world was able to marvel at the beauty of Onika Tanya Mirage.
01:53Then, the queen of hair transformations made glossy black floor-trailing lengths a trending
01:59style.
02:00Her long hair matched her long list of accomplishments.
02:03Hashtag Rapunzel.
02:04The new mom took some time away from the cameras to focus on nurturing her family.
02:10And now, she's back, giving us classic, colorful Nicki with an elevated twist.
02:17She is one of the most influential rappers and trendsetters on the planet.
02:21Nicki Minaj is the coacher.
02:24If you let, if you don't let a black woman say, hey, I started wearing my hair like that
02:29in 2017, if you don't let a black woman say that, somebody else will inadvertently get
02:36the credit, and they'll continue showing no regard to black women.
02:42Please do.
02:43Thanks for listening.
