@@RyanlovesTh Poor sales???why are you lying...Nicki Minaj always leads in digital sales and has went in a World Tour numerous times. Sold out 3 festivals over 50k this year only and more to come. Went number 2 on Billboard for 13 weeks. Just did a spotify record. Best fanbase in the world and artist. Mind you shes getting that Micheal Jackson award. Catch it.🦄
@@RyanlovesTh Now why you just lie like that ?😂😂😂😂…Meanwhile..Nicki is still the highest selling female rapper…All her shows sell out in Minutes, the most followed..the most wealthy … & the only artist to have a number one on every major billboard chart except the country chart..y’all get on these apps saying anything…say you don’t like her & move on 🤣
@@zenandebasela3036 Queen flopped, she even had to cancel her small venues, the Festival don’t count ´cause people were also here for Cardi, Jack Harlow, Anitta etc etc
Nicki spent roughly 10 years building her following by constantly interacting with them&actually taking care of them when they come out or see her. She built her following off of “you support me let me support & honour YOU in return” and THAT is one of the main reasons why she has remained who she is for the past 15 years, she staked out the female rap market & made it HER market. Genius.
Nicki even said that her fans are the only reason she is still making music to this day, she said without the barbz she would have retired years ago because of all she has had to go through in the industry. That is why we ride for her till then end💖🦄🫶🏻.
If you know Nicki Minaj then you know the barbz. You can't say you kno Nicki but not the barbs because Nicki is most known for 1) the queen of rap and 2) the barbz 😂.. But not all fans are crazy. Just to be clear. Alot of ppl bash Nicki and alot of barbs don't attack because Nicki's numbers speaks on who she is.
This was beautifully done! Most people believe Stans are only known for toxicity when we really are a big family. The reason why Nicki’s fanbase is so huge is because she’s one of the only few superstars who consistently talks with their fans. It’s definitely a personal relationship and we love learning everything and more about Nicki just like she does with the Barbz.
This!! Then people hate on her because she has us. As long as we're around, they can't successfully cancel her. We also put our 💲 up and support anything she does, which gives her more leverage and power to negotiate w/ companies, etc. 💗 🦄
I became a Barb in 2018 during the Nicki Minaj Hate Train. I knew Nicki’s music, but I didn’t KNOW Nicki’s music nor her Barbz. I noticed Nate said to go back to her mixed tapes & her old interviews. Without even knowing or anyone telling me to do that, I did. I researched Nicki. I loved what I heard & saw. After her mixtapes, I listened to all her albums. Keep in mind, the only album I listened to at the time was “Queen”, and to me, it is by far her BEST album. I didn’t know that most Barbz loved her “Pink Print” album and didn’t like her “Queen” album as much. Not me!!! I stand behind “Queen”. I listen to it almost everyday. I have met and now know a few Barbz personally. We all are the older Barbz, and not young like a lot of her fanbase. We all work, have a family, and still stan Nicki 100% with our busy schedules. I know this may not sound good, but I’m glad Fraudi B threw her shoe & walked out with a knot on her head. If it wasn’t for that happening, I wouldn’t have became curious about what happened & I wouldn’t have truly discovered Nicki as the incredible artist she is. I didn’t like hearing people (especially mostly Black people) tear down a successful Black woman. What I loved was how classy Nicki was that day. Nicki didn’t get ghetto & fight that tacky stripper who can’t even speak proper English. Nicki handled herself like a REAL Black woman with intelligence, grace, and class. I get tired of how Black women are portrayed in the media with the fighting and disrespect they have towards each other, so watching how Nicki handled herself that day…I respect her COMPLETELY. 💯
@@SolBeauty Thank you!!! 🥰🤗🤗🤗 Yes!!! I mean, I knew her music, and I liked Nicki, but I only had a bad perception of her because of the media and what I’ve heard rappers say about her like Missy Elliot & Lil Kim. Come to find out that they were lying too. When you look at how the industry had people (mostly our own: Black people especially Black men mostly, then Black women in the industry) lying & speaking negatively about Nicki Minaj…it’s quite sick. The Nicki Minaj Hate Train was very calculated. And like you, I’m a bigger fan of Nicki Minaj because I admire her strength and class through it ALL. Again, she is a GREAT representation of how a Black woman defeated her enemies elegantly.
I remember i met nicki when i was 16 one of my family members passed i was crying like a baby in the street and she stopped in her black car just to ask me if i was okay i was so shocked🤣
I love you for putting this out and showing us in a POSITIVE light because we get so much hate and less love. I remember at one point they tried to turn Nicki against us, but of course the real one’s didn’t go no where🥱 . ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯👸🏽😃😃😃😃
This is so accurate!! The Barbz do not come to play!! It's a whole operation going on. But Nicki deserves such an amazing fan base, she's a queen fr ❤️
The Barbz are really a family of Nicki Minaj babies. There is a connection between her and us and between her music, speeches, lives and some of our life’s moments and experience whoch makes her even more important to us. Nicki Minaj is The Queen Of Rap because of her Rap skills and stuff but also because of how she is with us and how we are feeling from her ❤️🦄
I became a Barb in 2020 I was bored and in Lockdown and watching Nicki minaj videos which I fell in love with Her and seen how bad the industry treated her and tried to push her out. I relate to her becoz I'm a black woman and she's so talented and I love her lyrics. Her songs are my confidence booster. I remember going to an Interview ND on my way there I played I am your leader and did it on dem and I got there ND killed it. 😂😍💜
Have been a subscriber for a long, long time & was pleasantly surprised when I saw my notifs! This was really cool; love the respect you put on the Barbz, and stan culture in general. The dedication to the artist, the effort to promote the music, the connections made to each other...it's a labor of love. That ending tho, damn. Spitting facts right there. As a 52 yr old Army, I'm so tired of the screaming teen girl stereotype. Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with being one of what I'd argue IS the most dialed in arbiters of pop culture success... But because no one denigrates the similar interests of men &/or boys. Thank you.💜
@@RyanlovesTh Don’t be slow, you know what he meant. He basically said he see himself in Nicki. She is a reflection of his personality. It’s not that hard to understand.
Barbz is a community of diverse members. Nicki created a family out of her fanbase so if the Queen ever gets attacked, it’s not a bunch of fans that jump in… it’s her family:)
So In so many words it’s a “mental disability” for those who feel disconnected from the real world and find comfort in those who share similar thoughts and experiences, yet it’s held together by a love for a particular celebrity. Gotcha.
5:43 "She's paid 40 stans student loans" At first I was like Cool! That's amazing! But then I realized that it's hella dystopian. We need billionaire popstars to bail us out just for wanting to participate in- and advance society?

Barbz about to make this video trend.
What happened to Sog_Simba's account? I wanted to follow him.
Nicki fans are the most dedicated fan base ever. Crazy how she’s 10+ years into her career and her fan base has only grown bigger
IKR...usually as the artist gets older, the fans get older and are not usually that into the artist like the Barbs are with Nicki

Exactly!
We the Barbz are also a family. Their are genuine friendship and love in our stanbase, sometimes we are dysfunctional but it is all love.
🦄🦄🦄🦄💖
The fact that Nicki is blackballed on Radio and the barb support is massive,she charts everytime 🦄🦄
Literally
Nicki even said that her fans are the only reason she is still making music to this day, she said without the barbz she would have retired years ago because of all she has had to go through in the industry. That is why we ride for her till then end💖🦄🫶🏻.

The fact that the Barbz have their own documentary. I know why other artists get mad at US. Our power!!!! 😭
I keep saying the only fan base with a fan base😭👏😂
Thank you for drawing on comparisons between Barbs and other super-fan communities. People love to pretend like this behavior isn’t common. 😂
I know right 😭😭 like this ain’t nothing special the difference is nicki actually appreciates her fans
@@rawfermews4186 For real. Some of the others barely acknowledge them.

This woman can stand on stage and the Barbz can literally do the show 🤣 thats some Michael Jackson shyt yo!!! So many artist want that support
Yup! She don’t even gotta turn her mic on ❤️😭
😂👑❤
This!! Then people hate on her because she has us. As long as we're around, they can't successfully cancel her. We also put our 💲 up and support anything she does, which gives her more leverage and power to negotiate w/ companies, etc. 💗 🦄
Thank you guys so much for the opportunity to be part of something amazing for the Barbz 🦄💖
We love our queen and we'll always ride with her till the wheels fall off🦄🦄
And even after 🦄🦄🦄🦄

Thank you for this documentary 🙏🏽 Barbz for life 💖
Barbz remember to buy and stream super freaky girl!🦄
This was so good!! It's important to show the culture of the fan base it's a whole thing a whole mood a whole situation!!
That’s why i’m barb

Love you Nicki , I’m a proud barb 🦄
The only fan base that have there name on a lawsuit 🦄🦄🦄🦄
Really? Lol
Oh yes BARBZ is not a fan base, BARBZ IS A MOVEMENT and we have a WARRIOR QUEEN 👸🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
Loved this
Thank you for the amazing content. This help other people to understand who are the BARBZ and know more about twitter fan base 😉🥰
And Nicki Minaj is still the Queen Of Rap! Cute video. 😋🦄👑🎀
nicki probbaly has the most powerful fanbase in USA
Tbh, she has the most powerful fanbase in The world.
Honestly it's between The Barbz and Swifties because those people go so hard for them
This was a very well put together video.
Barbz is a community of diverse members. Nicki created a family out of her fanbase so if the Queen ever gets attacked, it’s not a bunch of fans that jump in… it’s her family:)
EXACTLY
The barbs are the best fans of all time
I became a BARB 13 years ago when I first heard Dungeon dragon. I stuck to Nicki till this day🦄🦄🦄🦄
Barbz are superior🦄🦄🦄
Lol yes I remember when Nas was on twitter as a Barb. Very good video!
AHHH!! It’s me!!

BARBZ ARE SO ICONIC🦄
An excellent deep dive!
NICKI IS QUEEN 🦄🦄🦄🦄
NICKI THE GOAT
Let's go Barbz!! 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄💕
what a nicely done and insightful video
So In so many words it’s a “mental disability” for those who feel disconnected from the real world and find comfort in those who share similar thoughts and experiences, yet it’s held together by a love for a particular celebrity. Gotcha.
Please elaborate more
Thank you so much for this
I love us #barbz 🦄💕
