Nick Cannon praise Nicki Minaj and compares her to Lauryn Hill.
Nick Cannon was a recent guest on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, where the comedian showed love for Nicki Minaj and he called her the greatest of all time.
“First of all, let’s not disrespect Nicki. Nicki is the GOAT. Whatever her gender is,” he said. “She is one of the coldest artists in the last decade. Like, we can’t sleep on her skill, her pen. Sonically, she changed the game. Gender aside, she is dope. We should be comparing her to Lauryn Hill.”
Nicki Minaj also responded to the interview as he retweeted the clip on her social media with a heart emoji.

In a recent interview, Ja Rule also showed flowers on the Pink Friday hitmaker. “I think Nicki gets proper praise,” he said. “Her place in the game is solidified. It’s solid. There were no female MCs out and about until Nicki came back out. Before her, the last one was like Lauryn Hill.”
“And before her was like Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte and before her it’s even further back,” he continued. “The female MC — they’re having a run like they’ve never had before. To me, in my opinion, Nicki reopened that door.”
15 years into her career, Minaj continues to achieve new success on the charts and streaming platforms. Just recently, Nicki teamed up with Ice Spice for the “Princess Diana” remix, and with NBA Youngboy on “WTF“.
