Nicki Minaj has reason to celebrate today as she’s just been given a huge honor. Along with 99 other important figures of today’s society, hip-hop’s queen has been named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2016.

In addition to gracing the front cover, Nicki was joined by the likes of Leonardo Dicaprio, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, Priyanka Chopra and many others.

To make it even more exciting, Nicki’s boss/mentor Lil Wayne was responsible for writing the cover story for Nicki’s edition. Here’s what the Young Money CEO wrote:

You know, in New York they used to have these street DVDs. It just so happened that I appeared in one, and when I looked at the finished product, Nicki Minaj was on a part of the DVD. I was like, “Woooooow!” She was just being Nicki without the glitz and glamour. When I heard the first two and four bars, it wasn’t even about her rapping better than any female rapper. It was about, man, she’s rapping better than other rappers—period.

I always wanted more for my artists and saw Nicki’s potential from the first moment I laid eyes on her. She’s reached far beyond everything I would have imagined. Man, she’s so influential and doing all the right things. She’s an icon, a boss and a role model to all these young girls out here on how to do it the right way. Her work ethic speaks volumes and has yielded these results. The scary thing is she’s still going. Ha! Nicki Minaj will go down as one of the best to do it in the history of music.

Congrats to Nicki and everyone else on this amazing honor! See her cover below as well as a new interview.
