The University of California, Berkeley will offer a course next year that was inspired by Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms” is the name of the African American studies course that will be taught at the prestigious university in the spring of 2023. The 90-minute lectures, which will be taught by professor Peace and Love B El Henson, will take place twice weekly from January through May 2023, per the Berkeley course catalog.

In the African Diaspora Studies Program at Berkeley, El Henson, a postdoctoral fellow, explained that the course will examine Minaj “in the context of broader historical-social structures & hip hop feminisms.
She also acknowledged the Barbz for their assistance. “Words cannot express my excitement and gratitude for your steadfast support,” she continued.
I’d love to stop by

Even the Queen of Rap herself might visit students enrolled in the course. After learning about it, Nicki tweeted, “I’d love to drop by.”
She also retweeted a fan who posted a hilarious video of Minaj quoting “Boss Ass Bitch (Remix)” lyrics while “explaining the class rules.”
The “Fine Nine Remix” of Minaj’s song “Likkle Miss,” which features eight of dancehall’s leading ladies, including Spice, was released earlier this week.
