NICKI MINAJ: Docu-Series ‘Coming Soon’

Nicki Minaj teased her self-titled docu-series, Nicki. She shared the 2-minute trailer on social media. Nicki tweeted (quote) “Coming SOON!!!! The #NickiDocumentary you didn’t know you needed.”

Originally, HBO Max partnered with Nicki in 2020 for this six-part series. That arrangement seems to have ended. Nicki said she’s looking for a ‘home for this project’ that documents her rise to fame. In the trailer, Nicki brags (quote) “I never wanted to be mainstream. Mainstream came to me.”

Taylor Swift helped nudge the mainstream toward Nicki. The trailer shows a screenshot of a tweet from Swift in 2011 (quote) “Driving back from rehearsals listening to ‘Super Bass’ by @NickiMinaj OVER AND OVER. I’m so obsessed with this song.” (Variety)
