Best known for leaving a lasting impression in female rap, award-winning music artist Nicki Minaj is also an avid car connoisseur.
Nicki Minaj has a large number of luxury vehicles in her car collection, ranging from a Rolls Royce to a Lamborghini Aventador. She has been photographed in 6 of her own cars (7 including her miniature Cadillac) but often surrounds herself with more premium vehicles.
Find out more about Minaj’s extensive assortment of sports cars.
The Luxury Vehicles
Minaj purchased a Rolls Royce Cullinan in 2019 for an estimated $450,000.
This model has a base cost of roughly $380,000, but the rapper is well-known for her cars’ vibrant custom interiors, often bright pink.
The car has a black exterior with a red interior, and luxuries inside the car include a mink rug, mini fridge with champagne and ceiling stars.
Bob Ndoye, of Universal Foreign, has confirmed that he is also customizing another Lamborghini to go along with the Rolls Royce.
She also owns a $400,000 Lamborghini Aventador, which she revamped using her signature pink color palette, refurbishing it with bright pink exteriors and interiors.
Exotic Euro Cars released a clip showing the transformation of Minaj’s Lamborghini from dark blue to a light pink shade.
The “Good Form” rapper started building her brand around the color pink after releasing her debut album Pink Friday.
She purchased a luxury white Range Rover early on, and even wrote a song about it in approximately 2009 titled, “I Love My Range Rover” despite never officially releasing it.
In 2012, the unofficial Pink Friday: The Lost Tapes mixtape featuring the song was leaked.
Perhaps one of her most high-profile buys, Minaj purchased a Maybach 62S for roughly $500,000 in 2014, and arrived in it to the MTV Movie Awards.
This caused quite the stir, not only because of the Maybach’s expensive price tag, but also due to its powerful engines.
The car can reach a maximum speed of 155 mph and has a horsepower of 604.
Although she does not own a life-size Cadillac, Minaj has a miniature pink Cadillac Escalade toy to match her lamborghini.
Minaj owns an opulent Bentley Continental GT which she has also had customized and wrapped in pink like her other vehicles.
Minaj refers to this car as her “Barbie Bentley,” in reference to the nickname “Barbie” she has given herself.
Minaj also has an expensive custom Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, as seen in this picture posted to her Instagram.
The “Barbie Brand”
Minaj did not always live a life of luxury. She has spoken about her troubled childhood, and worked several odd jobs in her youth.
However, she quickly rose to fame after releasing her first mixtapes, one of the most popular of which was Beam Me Up Scotty (2009).
Minaj has topped the Hot 100 charts twice, and her first studio album Pink Friday (2010) topped the US Billboard 200 chart.
In 2016, she was included in Times’ annual Most Influential People list, known for not only her music, but her extravagant style, colourful wigs and costumes.
Minaj’s fleet of cars is certainly impressive, but does not end in her garage. The rapper favors lamborghinis, featuring them in several of her music videos.
You can see premium cars like the flashy green lamborghini in her Megatron music video, and old-school models such as the El Camino in a collaboration with singer Beyonce.
Her music video for hit single Motorsport with fellow rappers Cardi B and Migos features a red ferrari, and several different lamborghinis in a variety of colours.
Being the first female rapper in history with an estimated net worth of over $100 million, Minaj spares no expense in her decadent lifestyle and automobile fleet.
