Amongst all the VMA dramas, you may have forgotten that her Minajesty, queen Nicki Minaj, just appeared in Meek Mill’s new vid, rapping about bad bitches (obviously) and rolling around in a swimming pool. It’s not the only track she’ll be lending her lyrical flow to, either. Next week, she’ll be making an appearance on Robin Thicke’s new track “Back Together”. And although Robin hardly gets our blood pumping, we already know that everything Nicki Minaj touches turns to gold (or gold fangs). To celebrate how she’s been setting things on fire lately, we thought we’d take a look at ten times Minaj killed it on a guest verse and totally outshone whoever’s track she appeared on, or at least made us love said track even more. Enjoy!

Ciara – “I’m Out” (ft Nicki Minaj)

Nicki’s best line: “I got a big fat ass, big dicks follow.”

Why it rules: Mainly because of the words “big dicks follow”, but also because her flow is so laidback and eruptive at the same time, she makes being a lyrical volcano sound easy.

DJ Khaled – “I Wanna Be With You” (ft Nicki Minaj, Future & Rick Ross)

Nicki's best line: “Niggas be fallin’ in love with this pussy, mean stew chicken, and bake him a couple of cookies”

Why it rules: This track is so underrated, and Nicki’s bars are so lightspeed that it’s hard to keep up. Also, if you watch the video (below), her face barely moves because she’s rapping that fast.

Willow Smith – “Fireball” ft Nicki Minaj

Nicki's best line: “Ain’t from Louisana, but I’m hot sauce”

Why it rules: It proves she can slay on a track even when she’s not rapping about bitches, hoes or dat a$$. An 11-year-old Willow Smith also keeps it lit. 

Birdman – “Y.U. MAD” (ft Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne)

Nicki's best line: “This pussy clean, this pussy squeaky, that pussy old, that pussy creaky"

Why it rules: Read the line above. It’s one of the best bars of all time. On a side-note, her outfit (and hair) in this video is iconic. 

Trey Songz – “Bottoms Up” (ft Nicki Minaj)

Nicki's best line: “Can I get that ’tron? Can I get that Remmy? Can I get that coke? Can I get that Henny?"

Why it rules: Admittedly, it’s a bit of a cheesy track, but Nicki’s verse is so hard (and hilarious) that it’s way too good not to include. I dare you not to try and rap this when you want more drink on a night out. 

Drake – “Up All Night” (ft Nicki Minaj)

Nicki's best line: “Wait, wait... fixate, which bitch you know made a million off a mixtape?”

Why it rules: Both Drake and Nicki are perfect on this spaced-out banger from way back when they were up-starts, and Nicki’s laidback swagger is on-point. It’s a classic.

Big Sean – “Dance A$$” (remix ft Nicki Minaj)

Nicki's best line: “Ass so fat, all these bitches’ pussies is throbbin’”

Why it rules: Because it’s dedicated entirely to her big booty. Also, she makes the word ‘Waikiki’ last a whole six seconds.

Britney Spears – “Till the World Ends” (ft Nicki Minaj & Ke$ha)

Nicki's best line: “I ain't talking poultry when I say this chicken’s fried!”

Why it rules: Nobody else on this earth would compare Lil Kim to fried chicken, and the way she launches into that rap makes you want to bow down. 

Usher – “Lil Freak” (ft Nicki Minaj)

Nicki's best line: “I’m lookin’ for a cutie, a real big o’ ghetto booty”

Why it rules: Minaj flips the hetero-heavy strip-club anthem stereotype on its head when she pays more attention to the girls. Because if anyone can compete with Usher it’s Nicki Minaj, obviously.

Kanye West – “Monster” (ft Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z, Bon Iver & Rick Ross)

Nicki's best line: “Forget Barbie, fuck Nicki, she’s fake / she’s on a diet but her pockets eating cheesecake”

Why it rules: Because, obviously! Nicki’s verse on this track is so iconic that even Kanye admitted earlier this year that she “kicked my ass, on my own album”. This is peak Minajesty (or alter-egos Harajuku Barbie and Roman Zolanski, if you want to get picky).
