Nicki Minaj Accepts The Game Changer Award | Women In Music 

"i just wanted to encourage everyone to talk about whatever it is that you need to talk about and be honest and open and get help"

She honored juice world instead of herself. omg she’s so powerful and kind this was her day and she deserved this congrats Nicki 🥺👏🏼

she turned a moment of her own into a people-raising action. talked about juice wrld and mental health ... this is so important. I'm so proud of the woman nicki became.

“Drugs isn’t the problem, it’s how we fixed our problem” I felt that on a spiritual level.

Instead of her acknowledging herself, she really used her platform to educate people to seek for help and not to be quiet. A memorable speech for sure.

This was HER day...HER moment but she decided to use her platform to bring awareness to things we face as human beings! Such a generous & caring person. You've held it down for a decade & we appreciate all you've done. You definitely left your mark, Onika! 🐐❤

You know you’re a queen when you make a dead crowd clap

Why people dislike this? Shes the gamechanger of the decade, and shes honoring someone who died.

She sounded like she really wanted to cry

Nicki spoke facts that other people won’t say we need to recognize that a lot of people rather die then save themselves it’s a sad world

This was her moment and she didn’t speak about herself once. A true queen, the greatest

The fact that she spoke on mental health after Juice Wrld overdosed, after she herself almost died from Substance abuse a couple of years when she was battling her addiction. A TRUE QUEEN! She deserves this award and all of the respect in the world!

She deserves this and so much more. Nicki Minaj literally re-invented female rap. She broke down so many boundaries and ceilings and I’m happy she finally getting her recognition . Love you Nicki ❤️

When she said HI NORMANI i fell in love with her again.

She seems like she has matured a lot, props to her for trying to help others

The way she says "Hi Normani" smeels like a new collab is on the way!!! I'm ready

“ game changer “ but she didn’t talk about rap or what are the best songs of the decade, she talked about juice, mental illness, drugs, be yourself, talk whatever you want to talk, and that she loves us the barbz🥺🥺🥺 I love more 💖💖💖💖

She’s truly the queen, weather you you like her or not, she’s legendary it made me cry. Y’all need to stop hating, Nicki is actually such a sweet soul

This honestly made me so emotional. I just thought, “a phenomenal, incredible and kind woman has just left the entertainment industry”. And I felt sad, but I remembered what she said. She’s human and deserves a break after all the barriers she broken and the paths she’s paved for female rappers today. We love you Nicki, the past decade was lit because of you and we won’t forget that. Go Barbz 🧡

Nicki is so brave after losing such a close and young friend on her birthday, most people wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed for the next week, but she got up and gave an empowering message on mental health and drug abuse, god bless her 🙌🏼

she made a moment that was meant to be all about her about helping others, again... this woman truly is a gift to the world🥺

Nicki was emotional and whatever she said was so true ..She is a queen she ruled once and ig still ..no matter what happened back then I still love her for her amazing songs and lyrics and Thanks to her for EVERYTHING

Nicki has done everything other female raper's can't do. She deserve this billboard award . And she need to be recognized as a legend.

I’m not a barb but I do admire the work Nicki has done and appreciated this from her so humble and moving speech . She highlighted rap as a female and helped bring it mainstream when it had left after the 80s/90s with Queen Latifah etc but with a new twist bringing style, fashion and flamboyant flair something not done that much in rap or hip hop at that time. Nobody can deny regardless of her personal life or prior drama etc that she has inspired & deserving of this! 💗 #womenpower

Nobody: Nicki Minaj: Hi Normani

Instead of honoring herself for such a monumental moment in her career (Gamechanger of the decade) She honored Juice WRLD, that shows how big her heart is for the culture..

I don’t understand why people think you need a Grammy or a #1 hit to be defined as an artist. Look at all Nicki has accomplished without those things. She is truly the greatest female rapper of all time. edit: she got her two #1’s!!!!

he passed away on her birthday ://

She deserves this AND more. She’s a queen and an icon.

She seem so emotional with her speech. Shes been so quiet about everything haters threw her. Stay strong our Queen...we love you!!❤❤❤

Thats the real Nicki right there, she turned a moment that was supposed to be hers & wanted to remember Juice Wrld & tell people its ok to ask for help when u need it

“drugs isn’t the problem, it’s the way we fix our problem” I’m so glad we have Nicki in this industry to be the one to say this stuff

“You’re allowed to be human”

Ion see why all these ppl hate her and she was speaking facts about what she said. Also I love the way she always talks about her Barbz 🖤

PRAISE FOR NICKI MINAJ. Nicki Minaj is undeniably phenomenal. She crafted a tsunami of masterpieces from Pink Friday to The Pinkprint and Queen. Indeed Nicki Minaj is a 'Game Changer'. She paved a new trail for this decade female rappers. Back in 2011 Nicki emerged with Super Bass song. She illuminated, changed and moved the world of hip-hop, especially for female artists. Last year during the heated arguement with Cardi B, Cardi admitted "Nicki Minaj is an artist I look up to, I listen to and I admire with back when I was still in high school." It's prove in a fact, that Nicki inspired young female out there that aspired to engage in the hip-hop music industry and to pursue a career and achieved success as Nicki Minaj. Whether you love or dislike Nicki, we can't denied she is the star and an icon of this decade in the hip-hop industry, among the many other female rappers such as Lizzo, Iggy Azalea, and Cardi B. Nicki Minaj left a trail for the new female rappers, then these new rising artists followed along the trail, after that, on the peak of their career they created and shifted in their own direction. See how Nicki Minaj guided the way and shed a light for them. Nicki Minaj is the Queen.

The fact she dedicated to others ❤️ she really is a Queen ❤️

Nicki walked so that the other girls could run. That's on periodt

Most awarded female rapper ever for the record. Haters can choke 😌

that is why she's the Queen! So humble and caring. Not many pay attention to this side of her. They only focus on her lyrics. We love you Nicki!!

She got an award and instead of talking about herself and her many achievements, she decides to honor Juice Wrld and let people know that if we're in a tough spot, we can talk about it instead of keeping it inside of us. Of course I enjoy Nicki and her music but I'm sure millions of people appreciated what she said. She truly deserves the Game Changer award. Congratulations, Onika Tanya Maraj! Edit: Sorry, I meant Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty. I forgot that she is married now. Another edit: Wow! I never got this many likes on my own comment before. Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.

I love her so much too. She has a nice personality and she was selfless.

Forever a barb 💞

This is the Nicki I always want to see. The humbleness. The respect. The honesty. This is what i like and respect from her. The maturity is everything. Stay happy and healthy Nicki.

The hate train really hit her hard.. but no matter what Nicki you always the Queen and we support you no matter what.. but seriously ken and Nicki give us the baby..🥺🥺🥺

I'm so happy that they chose a rapper to be honored that speaks so well and we understand her words.

I was on Juice Wrld and Nicki performance in March, they were incredible. There was only positive energy. Rest in peace Juice World. Congatulations Nicki, she deserves it. She looks gourgeus! I miss our Queen.

PRAISE THE LORD WE HAVE NICKI RIP JUICE 🥤

i really cried watching this. I won’t lie not a lot of speeches can spark this type of emotion from me and technically her speech wasn’t ‘perfect’ but you can tell she really means what she says when she has the pauses she’s trying hard not to cry. She seems nervous but in actuality she’s trying not to cry. She seems hesitant but really she’s trying not to cry. She cares about what she’s saying. A TRUE QUEEN.

“hi normani” they’re so cute 😭

Nicki’s speech made me cry her kindness inspires us, it’s her speech and she talked about Juice WRLD that’s called a true queen, period‼️🔥 she cares about us and she wants us to express our feelings and she was also funny her speech was P.E.R.F.E.C.T literally she killed it🔥💜🦄🦄🦄

*So ... NICKI IS THE QUEEN OF RAP PERIOD SIS* ♥️

#RIPJuice he was supporting Nicki on her tour and he died on Nicki's birthday

There's nothing like whose better or whatever Nicki is just mature for she has grown soo much..... Will all reach that age where you just wanna chill

She really one of the greatest female artist of all time No one cared about female rap until Nicki Minaj

She helped female rap music reach places. Can’t criticise

Nickk Minaj is a rap legend and it's sad to see she's never given enough credit for her music

This girl has bravery. I can feel it in this speech. I wanna be a Nicki one day 🤩

- she’s broken so many barriers, ( because of her and young money white people like rap music / they made rap mainstream/POP) & Bc of her streams count as sales. - She murdered so many men on tracks (including legends like Kanye , Jay z Lil Wayne etc.) - encouraged woman to always be successful out of a man, - encouraged so many kids ,especially my generation to get an education and career, - She’s always had so many Men & Women go against her since day one . (She’s still continues stand her ground) I’m inspired by that. - And on top of all that SHE IS EXTREMELY TALENTED & I know it’s so hard for the haters to admit that.

the fact that she dedicated her entire speech to empower others proves how much of a queen she is.. I love you nicki!

it hit me when she said “ many people are dying “

I could listen to her talk for hours. She's such an amazing woman, I love her

Nicki is the best of all time

The ending of her speech chills went thru my body when she shouted out her “Barbs”

It's okay to not be okay.. acting like mental health isn't real in the blk community is a huge issue. A MASSIVE ISSUE.

This is probably one of the most viewed and liked billboard awards video😭❤️❤️❤️

Her Speech made me Cry 😢 Instead of Speaking about herself, she acknowledged Juice Wrld and About Mental health.. I Love that she Never forget to Mention her fans! She's Truly Amazing & I'm so Proud of her! #Queen 👑🦄💕

Nicki and Normani😭❤️

She is really the most influential female artist of our time

I literally cried when Nicki tell about Juice wrld

This was the most realist, most genuine and most human speech I’ve heard. Thank you for using that time, that space to shine light on real issues in our lives and honouring juice world 💖

she looks so beautiful in that dress.

I love how she took her moment and turned it into a teaching moment to everyone out here and she honored a young life that was lost❤️ This is why she is a Queen 👸🏽

"it is the only thing that got me dressed in the last month" lmaooo PREACHH

This is the only award that seemed appropriate.

Nicki!!!!!! Normani looks like a goddess I love these women. Such class.

When nicki said: “ this is for my BARBZ, I always have something to try and keep you guys happy! I love you guys!” 🥺🥺🥺

I've never ever been a fan of Nicki but I did notice she IS NEVER GIVEN CREDIT. I'm glad she was recognized here but she should be recognized a bit more. Damn.

"i felt like he was a kindred spirit." That hit hard😢

She is the Queen of Rap and an excellent person.

Nicki looking like an entire buffet!😫🔥🔥🔥

She was on the verge of breaking down but she still composed herself. Respect for you lady.

We’re so proud of you Nicki Minaj🦄💗She really got on that stage and started discussing About JuiceWorld and mental health. Now that’s a queen😍But they won’t talk about that tho

This was her award and yet she said nothing about herself, instead about someone else!! She’s so selfless

She deserved this award *PERIOD*

That speech really illuminated on the issues of mental illness and all while expressing the appreciate for women in music. Nicki Minaj is truly a kindred soul

i miss her soooooo much, she doesn’t know how much she influenced my life

You don’t have to like her music but there’s NO DENYING her success and impact she’s had these last TEN YEARS... you don’t have to like her, but you will respect her lmaooo😭💀

she took her own speech about how influentian she's been in music throughout her career to spread awareness about mental health. that is a queen

Nicki went thru everything and is still humble

That “Hi Normani” at 4:46 tho omg🥺

Words can’t explain how much I love this woman, and how much it bothers me that the industry paints her as a bad person when she’s nothing of the sort

Nikki Minaj humbled her self, presented herself as an articulate and strong woman, and this is why I initially started loving her.

We can tell Nicki real happy she’s extra thick.. good for u gurl.. that speech was really nice and comforting.

Nicki is literally a queen she’s so inspirational and smart and Amazing!!!!

"DRUGS ISN'T THE PROBLEM, IS THE WAY WE FIX OUR PROBLEMS" GODDESS BLESS YOU FOR USING YOUR PLATFORM TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET HELP AND BE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES AND PEOPLE! LONG LIGE TO THE QUEEN OF RAP❤👑💘💖

I love how humble Nicki is...you can really tell she is a nice and caring person

This was so humbling she spoke with power, love , respect, and most important about others including men and well being of mind and the essesence of being human. She inspired right then and there!

She SNAPPED she is a legend, the Queen of Rap whether people like her or not. Also I really appreciate she used her moment and platform to hommage Juice Wrld

who loves Nicki and misses her social media

OMG this speech is so beautiful Nicki 😭😭😭 she is receiving an award for herself and she chooses to honour someone else and asks people to be vulnerable by being vulnerable
