#ThisWeeksServing If the 2022 American Music Award

#ThisWeeksServing If the 2022 American Music Awards are any indicator, Nicki Minaj is one of the most decorated rappers in music history, and she has no intention of stopping anytime soon. Even though @NickiMinaj went into this year's AMAs with just one nomination—Favorite Female Hip-Hop Artist—she came out on top. Given that she has only been nominated for the award five times in her career, Nicki's win in the category signified the fifth time she took home the trophy. The victory makes her the most decorated performer in the category in history, surpassing Eminem's four victories in the process. #NickiMinaj #AMA #Rap #OBO
