Nicki Minaj has always showed off her electric creative side through her music and especially through fashion, mainly during her earlier years in the rap game. So it comes to no surprise that she was always destined to be a star.

As a student at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York, NY, young Onika spent a lot of her time on the big stage auditioning for some of New York’s top casting directors. In this clip, it’s obvious that Nicki has always been quite the entertainer. Press play.
