The weight of Onika Tanya Maraj (better known by her stage name of Nicki Minaj) has been subject to much speculation ever since the rapper singer-songwriter first gained mass-market appeal in America during 2009.
She is also well known for creating alter egos on stage and in her work, including Roman Zolanski, Martha Zolanski and Nicki Teresa.
Currently she is opening for Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale tour, in which she also performs with Spears in a remix of the song "Till the World Ends".
Minaj has fostered a career for herself in the pop industry, earning positive reviews as one of the few female rap artists, but also in the fields of hip hop and rhythm and blues.
During this period, her weight has been the subject of much speculation.This countrywide obsession with her weight is similar to the fevered attention that is foisted upon any famous person who loses or gains weight in the public eye. Minaj is not alone in having her waistline and curves observed for any sign of weight gain or loss. Others such as Beyonce, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Madonna have all been subject to similar speculation before her and it is likely that those who follow in her footsteps will suffer the same keen-eyed observation.
Although it states stated on her official website that Minaj is 5'4", people have estimated that Nicki Minaj is around 5'3" tall. Her weight has been estimated to be around 140lbs (63.5kg), although there is no official way of confirming this other than the star revealing it herself.
It is also reasonable to assume that in her time in the public eye, Minaj has seen her weight fluctuate over time, with some commentators feeling at times she has gained weight, while others have felt that she has lost weight.
So far, the star has refused to reveal her actual weight to fans.
