LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nicki Minaj, powerhouse rapper and iconic figure in the music industry, has made headlines once again, but this time for her captivating and humorous explanation of "Gag City" to Stephen Colbert on 'The Late Show.'

The clip of her hilarious and candid explanation quickly went viral, earning Minaj heaps of praise from fans and admirers worldwide.

For the uninitiated, "Gag City" is a Nicki Minaj classic, known for its tongue-in-cheek humor, rapid-fire wordplay, and unapologetic self-assuredness.

In the clip, Colbert, clearly intrigued by the song's title, asks Minaj to explain its meaning.

What ensues is a masterclass in rap artistry. Without missing a beat, Minaj launches into a hilarious explanation, weaving together pop culture references, personal anecdotes, and clever metaphors.

She describes "Gag City" as "it is where everything is pink, but it is fly and dope; but the music is by one girl there, and she has other people come to Gag City every now and then to label goals. You  get a free mansion and a free car and canned goods," using comparisons to Mount Olympus and the Bermuda Triangle to illustrate her point.

Minaj's explanation not only entertained but also highlighted her versatility as an artist.

Beyond her musical talents, she showcased her adeptness at engaging an audience, captivating them with her storytelling prowess and infectious energy.



 

Fans took to social media to shower the rapper with accolades

The clip quickly went viral, sparking a wave of praise for Minaj's intelligence and comedic timing.

One user wrote, "She is sooo funny omg."

Another added, "She may rap dirty, but she's always classy when she's interviewed. A lot of female rappers are jealous of her. It seems that the more shit they give her, the higher she soars with her music career. And during 2023, she pretty much hit it out of the park. Only three women who have established music careers owned 2023. And those are Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj."

One commented, "Nicki this is one of the best music albums i heard ever you are on other level right now."

"Uggghhh we just loveee Mrs Minaj!! Yesss queen," added another.
