The user very cleverly used the lyrics of Nicki Minaj’s songs and compared it with Chun Li the character. The photo in the tweet almost makes it seem like they’re the same person and the internet definitely enjoyed itself.

The US based rapper was most recently spotted at the premiere of the movie “Barbie”. Nicki has collaborated with trending artist Ice Spice for the song “Barbie World” which is the film end title track. Also known as the “Queen of Rap”, they considered Nicki Minaj being an all time female rapper because of her influence and sheer record. They ranked her the top selling female rapper of the 2010s.
