Growing up I was always a huge fan, from mimicking her music videos and dances to knowing every single lyric to some her most renowned hits. We cannot speak of ‘inspirational women of hip-hop’ without mentioning this icon. She’s given artistic geniuses and musicians a run for their money to date. Nobody compares to this icon.
