Ep 10 - Nicki Minaj (Part 1) [with Rich Hawkins]

Divas.

Just Stop It.

Everybody knows it’s a mother-fucking monster.

That’s right, for our tenth full-length, we’ve only gone and dropped the beginning of a multi-part deep-dive into the life and werk of reigning Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, with, none other than reigning Queen of Netflix, Rich Hawkins.

The hot takes that Rich has been serving you since Episode 1 of our bi-weekly round-up pod, Little Diva Energy, have been so damn scalding, we thought we’d just go ahead and give him his very own feature length bitch and, let me tell you, she do not disappoint.

Why y’all gagging so? She bring it to you every ball.

In Part I, Holly, Tom and Rich journey through Time & Space to Trinidad & Tobago in order to witness the birth of the Queen. They then take a leisurely tour through her family life, subsequent move to New York, several aborted attempts at early fame and the firing from - count ’em - 15 different jobs. All before the first mixtape drops.

Along the way, the trio delve into the mysterious and dangerous world of Nando’s Black Cards, Holly drops yet another obscure children’s TV reference and we introduce you to the diva you didn’t even know you were obsessed with: Kim Bell.

When I say Kim, you say…Bell.
