Jay-Z
Jay-Z has always been everyone’s favourite rapper. Nicki Minaj has already revealed why Jay-Z is one of her favourite rappers. Jay isn’t only her favourite but an all-time rapper. “It was like whatever Jay-Z says is the gospel. He was smart. I was raised attracted to intelligent rappers.

Notorious Biggie

Jadakiss & Fabulous
Always from the interview above, Nicki Minaj revealed why Jadakiss and Fabulous are good rappers she loves also:
Jadakiss, I always talk about, or Fab — you’re one of them as well.” While there may have been some needless appreciation sent Budden’s way, Minaj explained herself more clearly.
“Three people that I feel like may not be those type of rappers, or whatever, but lyrically, because I know how difficult it is to actually sit there and write raps and consistently have them shits be raps, it’s like ‘Oh, shit’, I am one of those people who will put people like that [on top]. But I definitely wouldn’t have a top-five without Wayne.”
Drake
Sure, Drake is part of Nicki Minaj’s favourite but that might come in whenever she is talking about her top 10 fav rappers. As for Drake, he once crowned Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj as the greatest of all time. But somehow, Nicki Minaj’s favourite artists/rappers might not be whom you assume.
