According to Nicki Minaj's fans, who've been keeping track,  she's been absent from social media in 2018. According to Nicki's boss Birdman, it's all for good reason because she's busy working on new music. He also said that Nicki is the best female rapper of all time.

“Nicki’s been working,” said Birdman in a recent interview. “That’s all I can say. She’s been working and she’s focused. I always say she’s the best ever. Best female ever in Hip Hop, hands down, facts. Pull it up, pick it up, figure it out. There's no getting around it."

Birdman also credited Nicki for being one of the first female rappers in a long time to really make it big.

"Because the doors really was shut. There wasn't no doors" he explained. "So for Nicki to come through and do what she's doing and continuously to do that [is amazing]. Because I don't think no female ever in the modern times or before [modern] times is more talented than Nicki Minaj. There's very much levels to this shit and she's an elite."

Do you agree with Birdman's assessment? If not, who's better than she is?
