The "Chun Lee" hitmaker achieved a huge milestone this year after the "Say So" remix climbed the to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart which is her first number one single.
She again reached number one with her collaboration with Tekashi 6ix9ine on "Trollz" although the song has since tumbled down the chart unlike "Say So" which has been a stable hit.
Minaj previously mentioned that she would like to have kids before her fifth album and has alluded to it on multiple songs - it seems that her wish came true.
