      That’s why why Nicki thanked them in different reasons, one for CAREER opportunities (meaning BIG names when she was just starting in the industry and they elevated her to stardom) and features, when she was already established as a household name.

      URGENT I WAS A TRANSSEXUAL AND ASKED GOD TO SHOW ME IF HELL WAS REAL. And God took me THERE. MY SOUL LEFT MY BODY AFTER I LAY IN BED, THEN MY SOUL STARTED DESCENDING TO HELL, IT WAS A TERRIBLE ABYSS WHEN I WENT DOWN AND I FELT VERY AFRAID. I HEAR SCREAMS OF DESPAIR. I SAW THOUSANDS OF SOULS FALLING DESPERATE AND WITH SCARED EYES. I SAW MY GRANDFATHER WHO DIED OF HEART INFARCTION BECAUSE HE DRINK A LOT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES! MY GRANDFATHER WAS CRAGGING ACROSS THE FLOOR AND ASKING ME FOR HELP. I ALSO SAW A WOMAN IN HELL, SHE WAS TORTURED, I SAW BIG NAILS UNDER HER FEET, SHE WAS TORTURED BY DEMONS! AND WHEN SHE STOPPED DANCING THE NAILS ENTERED HER BONES AND FEET! SHE LOOKED AT ME WITH A DESPERATE LOOK. I SAW MANY HORRIBLE THINGS IN HELL. THEN I RETURNED TO EARTH AND CALLED A FRIEND AND MY MOTHER TO TELL ME EVERYTHING I SAW. I was trembling and desperate with fear THAT I had seen so many terrible things in hell. TODAY I READ THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE, I AM A CHRISTIAN, I FOLLOW THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE WORD OF GOD, BECAUSE THE HOLY BIBLE OF CHRISTIANS TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW! YOU MUST REPENT AND CONVERT FROM YOUR SINS TO LIVE IN HEAVEN! YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE JESUS ​​CHRIST AS ONE AND SUFFICIENT SAVIOR OF YOUR LIFE. NO ONE GOES TO GOD WITHOUT GOING THROUGH JESUS ​​CHRIST! GOD THE FATHER, SON JESUS ​​CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD! THE HOLY TRINITY. HELL IS TERRIBLE AND CRUEL YOU CAN'T GO THERE. JESUS ​​CHRIST LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND SO DO I. THANKS FOR READING THIS MESSAGE. TODAY I ASSUME MY BOY IDENTITY, I'M NO LONGER TRANSSEXUAL JESUS ​​CHRIST HAS SET ME FREE! I REMOVED THE SILICONE PROSTHESIS, I CUT MY HAIR THAT WAS FULFILLED, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT JESUS ​​CHRIST WILL COME BACK TO SEEK HIS PEOPLE! TO TAKE US TO THE HEAVENS OUR ETERNAL Abode. YOU CAN SEE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF WHEN I WAS ON THIS INSTAGRAM. JESUS ​​CHRIST IS COMING BACK. YOU NEED TO CONVERT TO JESUS ​​CHRIST AND REPENT OF YOUR SINS TO LIVE IN HEAVEN. HELL IS REAL, TODAY I HAVE NO DOUBTS. PEOPLE SCREAM A LOT, CRY A LOT, AND ARE TORTURED BY DEMONS. ALL THIS I SAW IN HELL! READ THE HOLY BIBLE OF CHRISTIANS AND YOU WILL LEARN EVERYTHING TO LIVE IN HEAVEN. JESUS ​​LOVES YOU SO MUCH AND SO DO I. THANKS FOR READING MY MESSAGE! I AM ALERTING YOU BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU TO GO TO THAT PLACE OF TORMENT! I WANT YOU TO GO TO HEAVEN. Kjj

    This was a beautiful, heartfelt and humble acceptance speech which shed light to mental health and how artists are treated by the public and the media, she mentioned two legends who have been scrutinized their whole careers even after their unfortunate deaths they're still ridiculed in the media which are Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. She's a very diverse artist and doesn't stick to the status quo of being only a "rapper" but is also a huge Popstar that young people love and heavily look up to which is why it's so beautiful seeing that she chose Barbz (her fanbase) to give her this iconic award and shared this moment with them which is very different than what we usually see artists do. She mentioned artists who helped her during the beginning stages of her career, who saw the potential in her and believed in her to shine on their albums and singles. She's known to being the star of any song she's featured in because she always outshines everyone else in songs and seeing that she acknowledged that and was graceful to thank them is so beautiful to watch. Loved every bit of this speech. Shout out Nicki Minaj you deserve this moment.

Respect to Whitney for saying that Michael Jackson opened that door for them when it was difficult for black artists to be given an opportunity by channels like MTV. And Respect to all the artists you mentioned because they took that torch from the King🔦 and kept it going. Today Queens like Nicky pay that well deserved respect.
