Nicki Minaj Course To Be Taught At UC Berkeley

Published Sun, October 9, 2022 at 12:00 PM EDT

Nicki Minaj is about to be a full fledged college course. The rap superstar is the focus of a new class at UC Berkeley. The university announced they would be offering the class on their twitter account, and its instructor is Dr. Peace and Love El Henson.

The course is officially called "Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms." It is intended to encourage students to think about Nicki's Hip-Hop legacy and it impacts the "broader historical-social structures and hip-hop feminisms," the course professor wrote. 

The class will be offered through the African American Studies department and it will feature 90-minute lectures on Tuesdays and Thursdays. El Henson shared her excitement to teach the class in a Twitter thread.

“I’d love to stop by,” Minaj herself tweeted on Thursday.
