Nicki Minaj will Receive the Game Changer Award at Billboard’s 2019 Women in Music

Nicki Minaj has been a Hip Hop trailblazer, and is being honored by Billboard for her impact. Minaj will be receiving the Game Changer award at this year’s Billboard Women in Music event.

“Billboard’s Women in Music is an annual opportunity for us to celebrate undeniably influential women from across the industry,” stated Billboard Editorial Director Hannah Karp. “This year, with honorees like Alanis Morisette, Brandi Carlile, Desiree Perez and Nicki Miniaj, we are excited to highlight a diverse group of women pushing limits and breaking
boundaries.”

Along with Minaj,  Alanis Morissette, Brandi Carlile, and Roc Nation’s chief operating officer Desiree Perez will also be honored.
