The well-renowned rapper Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, has acknowledged that her name is Igbo.

The singer acknowledged that her first name, Onika, is derived from the Igbo name Onyekachi in Trinidad.

Minaj was responding to a fan’s remark praising her recent appearance at the UN, where she denounced Islamic murder against Nigerian Christians. According to the admirer, Minaj was destined for great things, including speaking out against injustice, because her first name, Onika, means “Who is greater than God.”

The fan shared a picture via X that clarified the meaning of Minaj’s first name and its variations, writing, “The name Onika means ‘continued belief in a supreme being who holds ultimate authority and surpasses all others in greatness.’

“Let my Nigerian Barbz and friends confirm how God destines someone for great things before they are even born!”

Reacting to the post, Minaj wrote, “Will it get even more mysterious if I told you the tattoo on my arm means ‘God is with me’ in Chinese?”
