been named Billboard’s “Rising Star” for 2011, capping off a year that

American Music Awards.
The Rising Star Award acknowledges Minaj’s phenomenal year and will
be presented at the Billboard Women in Music Event on Dec. 2 in New York
City.
Minaj
will be joined at the sixth annual event by Billboard Woman of the
