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.

boundaries.”

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