Nicki Minaj has built a successful career around her creativity and unique personality. She stands out from the crowd, but is the rapper also uniquely left handed? 

Nicki Minaj is not left-handed. She is right-handed like the majority of the population.

Although Nicki is right handed like 90% of the population, her handwriting does reveal facets of her unique personality. 

Nicki’s Right Hand Dominance

Nicki writes with her right hand, as evidenced by videos of her signing autographs. In this video Nicki signs fans’ CDs with her right hand:

The video also shows Nicki being generous with her time and sweetly greeting every fan that approaches. She takes photos and joins her fans in rapping along to her songs.

Nicki definitely shatters the pervading myth that left handed people are more creative. Nicki has built her entire life and career around finding unparalleled ways to express herself. 

Lucky for Nicki, science says right handedness is preferable. Righties are less likely to have serious mental disorders and even live longer on average. 

Nicki’s Handwriting and Personality

Although Nicki’s right-handedness is rather typical, her handwriting is unique to her. Using graphology, the analysis of handwriting, one can discern pieces of Nicki’s private personality from her handwriting.

Nicki wrote this handwritten note to a fan named Ayana who helped the star evade a parking violation ticket. Ayana’s mother was a traffic cop about to give Nicki a ticket, but the woman let the celebrity go ticket-free because her daughter was a big fan. 

Nicki’s sweet note shows her appreciation for the act of kindness. Her handwriting further reveals little details about the star’s personality.

According to graphology, Nicki’s right slanted handwriting correlates to sympathy and kindness, which can be verified by the content of the note itself! A right slant also indicates honesty and an ability to adjust or integrate easily. 

Nicki’s letter Y’s have long bottoms that loop and extend far below the other letters. This feature is said to indicate a love of traveling, which also seems to be true of the jetsetting celebrity who is always on the move for tours and events. 

Nicki’s light writing pressure also relates to her lifestyle. Light pressure correlates to easily moving from one place to another, which Nicki certainly does when she is on tour.

Nicki’s letters do not connect, which is a sign of her logical nature. She makes decisions carefully, which can be said about both her detail-oriented music production as well as her management of her own career. 

Similarly, Nicki’s simple and clean dot above each lowercase “i” relates to her tendency to maintain order. She pays great attention to detail and does not like clutter.

Nicki’s lines of words are evenly spaced out and do not touch, which shows that the singer has strong personal boundaries. This trait is certainly true of her strong character, especially after surviving childhood with an abusive father and swearing to never let a man treat her like that. 

Nicki Writes Her Own Raps

If Nicki’s right handedness and idiosyncratic handwriting do not reveal enough about the celebrity, her personal raps effectively deliver a complete portrayal of her character and worldview. Nicki makes sure fans and haters alike know that she writes her own verses, even if it takes more time. 

Nicki wrote one of her best raps, “Barbie Dreams,” in a single take freestyle according to her recording engineer “Big Juice.” This rap definitely captures Nicki’s personality and could not have been written by anyone but her. 

In “Barbie Dreams” Nicki mentions many of her friends and fellow rappers. She teases Drake for “crying” in a friendly jab at his sad lyrics. She also says that her ex-boyfriend Meek Mill is always messaging her.

Nicki’s rap style involves mentioning her wealth, sex, drugs, and celebrity friends. Like her handwriting, her rap writing is unique to her.
