Nicki Minaj Is Getting Her Own Class At UC Berkeley

Barbz, grab your pen and notebook. School is in session!

Nicki Minaj is joining the likes of Harry Styles, Taylor Swift and Lana Del Ray with a university course all about her! In Spring 2023, the University of California Berkeley will be offering AAS 140.2, a class titled "Nicki Minaj: The Black Barbie Femmecee & Hip Hop Feminisms," course professor Peace And Love El Henson said on Twitter.

"This class is interested in thinking critically about u and ur productions w/in the context of broader historical-social structures & hip hop feminisms," Henson said about the course. She said she would share more details about the course on social media as she continues to finalize them this fall.

News of the course even made its way to the Queen herself after tweeting about the class being offered. "I'd love to stop by," Nicki replied. This tweet prompted Henson to join Twitter so she could welcome the idea, saying "We would be hella happy & honored for u to stop by!" Nicki also retweeted a hilarious clip of her "explaining the class rules at the beginning of the semester," which included the lyrics to her song "Boss A-- B----."

Henson is listed on UC Berkeley's website as a lecturer and Black studies collaboratory postdoctoral fellow in the university's African American Studies & African Diaspora Studies program.
