10. She was Discovered by LIL WAYNE:-

Nicki Minaj was working hard to get recognized back in the late 2000s. The rapper had a number of mix tapes and was waiting for the right person to come around. Before her being discovered she worked as a waitress, and got fired from different jobs. She and Jimmy Fallon took a stroll down memory lane when they paid Red Lobster a visit, a restaurant where Nicki once worked as a waitress.

Determined to make it in the music business, Minaj took on backup singing roles for local New York City rappers, including Full Force. Soon, she began writing her own material. She was eventually discovered by the Dirty Money CEO Fendi, who came across Minaj’s MySpace page, loved what he heard, and signed her to his label.

That connection led Minaj to Lil Wayne, who collaborated with her on a series of mixtapes, the first of which, Playtime Is Over, was released in April 2007. This and subsequent mixtapes, including Sucka Free (2008) and Beam Me Up Scotty (2009), showcased Minaj’s female swagger and out-front style. She signed to Lil Wayne’s Young Money label in August, 2009, becoming its first ever female artist. She solidified her growing rep with appearances on the We Are Young Money compilation album (2009), also collaborating with Mariah Carey and Robin Thicke.
