Nicki Minaj Named MaximBET Global Ambassador

Nicki Minaj is going up … as a Global Ambassador — yes, that’s the actual title for the superstar rapper’s new gig with MaximBet, the sports betting platform of Maxim.

The Queen Barb announced her new duties Tuesday … saying the position includes investing, advising and overall, making sports betting lit within the culture. Maxim’s also renowned for its huge celeb events for the Super Bowl and Halloween — which Nicki also made sure to point out with much enthusiasm.

Maxim also cites Nicki’s “disruption” of the typically male-dominated hip hop industry as a reason for nabbing the gig.

With over 191 million followers on Instagram — making her the most followed rapper — another 25 mill on Twitter and more than 100 million records sold, hiring Nicki for her star power + influence feels like a no-brainer!

The MaximBet gig will also help launch Nicki’s upcoming fifth album (coded “NM5”) and next tour.

Nicki’s MaximBet come-up mirrors Cardi B‘s latest bag as Playboy’s Creative Director — who was named to that role in December.
