Nicki Minaj hangs out with Jhene Aiko, Stevie J, and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at the BET Awards [PHOTOS]

Look at how far Nicki Minaj came in only a five year span. If anybody works hard they can get exactly what they want. A few years ago, Nicki Minaj was dominating the mixtape and street DVD circuit and doing it well. Now, she has won the Best Female Artist at the BET Awards five straight times.

Nicki Minaj has breathed new life into the game and her embracing pop has helped hip hop continue to cross over. Most importantly, to her label bosses anyway, is that Nicki Minaj is helping bring all kinds of exposure to Cash Money Records. She is signed to the label through Lil Wayne’s Young Money imprint.

While Nicki Minaj was at the BET Awards, she had the chance to run into many other power players. All of the biggest stars were there and Nicki Minaj ran into quite a few of them. She ended up taking pictures with Jhene Aiko, Stevie J, and Floyd Mayweather, Jr., putting them on Instagram.
