etcanada.com:

Nicki Minaj has just dropped the trailer to her upcoming docuseries dubbed “Nicki” and for all the “Barbs” out there, the docuseries is coming “sooner than you think.” The “Super Bass” rapper released the 2-minute trailer on her social media channels Thursday, and it’s billed as “a story so raw it can only be told by a legend this real.” The trailer begins with a young Nicki rapping before you hear her voice, “You don’t get a manual on how to be a famous rapper.

You just learn it as you go.” The trailer’s then spliced to show the attention Nicki commands and her luxurious lifestyle. Set to the backdrop of her 2018 hit “Chun-Li” off her Queen album, Nicki reveals that the young version of herself “wasn’t afraid to fail” and how “female rappers weren’t really charting at the time.” And, while showing a January 2011 tweet from Taylor Swift in which she gushes over the rapper, Nicki can be heard saying, “I never wanted to be mainstream.

Mainstream came to me.” The six-part docuseries aims to also tell the story of the Trinidadian-born rapper, singer and songwriter who thrived in spite of an industry that is not “loving and supporting.” There’s also one particular scene that shows Nicki “self-medicating” while later breathing with the help of an oxygen mask.

In the end, Nicki says in the trailer “it was time for me to grow up and start loving myself.” It’s at this point when her husband, Kenneth Petty, enters the picture.
