Minaj’s new label aims to empower and support up-and-coming talent, particularly those from underrepresented communities. As someone who has broken barriers and paved the way for other women in hip-hop, Minaj is passionate about using her platform to give others the same opportunities she has had.

Minaj said, “When I get behind an artist, y’all know how I do shit for people that’s not even signed to me. Imagine what Imma do for the ones that’s signed”.

“Don’t think my label is just rap, or Black, or anything.” she added. “We got some other genres of music.”

Overall, the announcement of these artists and the addition of Lauren to the team makes it clear that Minaj is poised to support a new generation of talented artists with her successful label.
