Nicki Minaj on Chadwick Boseman, ‘He Was On His Way To Becoming a Full-Fledged Icon’

While giving her fans a surprise with the re-release of her 12-year old mixtape with some new musical additions to it, Nicki Minaj spoke to her fans about all that she’s been upto and what she has in store.

The Queen of Rap took to her website and social media sharing an open letter to her fans, and took the opportunity to shower praises on whatever she’s been binge-watching during the lockdown.



On the subject of ‘acting’ and ‘movies’, the raptress particularly praised Oscar-nominated ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ – for the performances of it’s leads – Viola Davis and Chadwick Boseman.

 

Here’s what she stated on the critically acclaimed film:

‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom was one of the best pieces of word I’ve had the pleasure of viewing in a really long time. GENIUS!!!! With a capital everything!!!! Just when I thought there was no way I could love Viola Davis any more… I MEAN!!!! OMG. I LIVE!!!! Every single monologue. Every single one. She brought those words to life in such a way that I truly felt as if she could’ve been speaking about the music industry right now! The writing in the original play was just brilliant but she was able to even add a billion times more to it & I didn’t think that was even possible b/c August Wilson is the TRUTH!!!

Speaking on the late Chadwick Boseman she further added:



“Chadwick, of course, was just exceptionally layered & riveting. His acting knows no bounds. I can’t believe he was taken from us so soon. The man was on his way to becoming a full-fledged ICON!!!”
