Minaj’s musical journey began in 2007 with the release of three mixtapes over three years: “Playtime is Over,” “Sucka Free,” and “Beam Me Up Scotty.” In 2021, she re-released “Beam Me Up Scotty” for streaming platforms, including three new tracks. Her debut studio album, “Pink Friday,” arrived in 2010 and featured hits like “Your Love” and “Super Bass,” the latter remaining one of her biggest successes.

Following her debut, Minaj released several more albums. In 2012, she unveiled “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,” while “The Pinkprint,” released in 2014, included the memorable track “Anaconda.” Her most recent album, “Queen,” came out in 2018.
