Nicki Minaj Receives Key To Queens, New York (PHOTOS)

Nicki Minaj received the key to the city of her hometown of Queens, New York. 

On Monday (June 26), Queens borough president Melinda Katz gifted the honor to the MC. Minaj was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. She moved to South Jamaica at the age of 5 and was raised there until she reached adulthood. Minaj has since represented the borough -- through her songs and speeches -- to the fullest.

The funny thing is that Minaj didn't even know that she was getting the key to Queens. She found out on social media and reacted on her accounts. She captioned a photo of the award on IG: "#KeyToTheCity 🔑 #MajorKey what a pleasant surprise? 🙈 Wish I was there to receive it. Thank you so much! #MelindaKatz hopefully we can meet b4 I fly out again 🦄 #NewYork 👑#Queens #ProudQueensGirl #ProudNewYorker".
