The first teaser for Nicki Minaj's self-titled six-part documentary series, which will follow the rapper's quick ascent to fame in the 2010s, has been released.
The opening line of the trailer, "You don't get a manual on how to be a famous rapper - you just learn it as you go," is just the first of many memorable quotes from Minaj. She continues by thinking back to her early days as a budding rapper in the mid-2000s: “I think the woman [I was] back then, she wasn’t afraid to fail. Female rappers weren’t really charting at the time… I’m fighting for the girls who never thought they could win.”
We also discover that Minaj never sought out the limelight because of what she says about her early goals: “I never wanted to be mainstream – mainstream came to be.”
