University Of California, Berkeley Prepares To Offer Nicki Minaj Course In 2023

The university will offer an African American studies course named in the rapper’s honor during the spring 2023 semester, the course’s professor – Peace And Love El Henson – confirmed on Twitter.

Minaj responded to a tweet about the course on Thursday and expressed interest in dropping by a lecture.

“I’d love to stop by,” Minaj wrote.

The professor, a Black studies collaboratory postdoctoral fellow who goes by she/they pronouns, thanked Minaj for her response and added that the “class is interested in thinking critically about [Minaj] and [her] productions [within] the context of broader historical-social structures [and] hip hop feminisms.”

They later thanked Minaj’s fans, also known as the Barbz, for their love and interest in the class.
