Kanye West: Nicki Minaj Has Potential to Be #2 Rapper of All Time

Kanye West is giving Nicki Minaj a major co-sign. The rapper says Young Money’s First Lady has the potential to be one of the greatest rappers of all time.

“The scariest artist in the game right now… The scariest artist is definitely Nicki Minaj,” Kanye told Angie Martinez on Hot 97. “And I think she has the most potential out of everyone to be the #2 rapper of all time ’cause nobody’s gonna be bigger than Eminem. Eminem’s the #1 rapper of all time.”

Kanye confirmed that Minaj is featured on his fifth album, as staging-rapup.kinsta.cloud first reported. The disc is due November 16.

Who are the other potential threats? “I love Wayne, I love Cudi, I love Jay… They scare me too,” he revealed. “And yo Drake, you gotta give Drake credit too. Drake is scary also.”
