Nicki Minaj is just as obsessed with The Crown as the rest of us: ‘I’ve watched every single episode 5 times’
It’s no secret Nicki Minaj loves the British accent so it should be no surprise that the rapper has become a huge fan of The Crown.
Like millions of viewers across the world, the Roman’s Revenge hitmaker is obsessed with the series based on the life of Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal Family.
In an open letter to fans, shared on her website, the 38-year-old rapper explained she had been binge-watching the program during her pregnancy and early motherhood – revealing she has watched every episode ‘at least 5 times’.
The Starships rapper wrote: ‘My darlings, as I complete this album & documentary, I am also obsessing over “The Crown” on Netflix.
‘The great Kenya Barris recommended I watch it & I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s safe to say I’ve watched every single episode of every single season at least 5 times each. Lol. Yikes. I know. 🥴’
She continued: ‘I can’t get enough of Claire Foy’s perfect face. I want to eat it. It just does the right thing in every single scene. Lmao. I also can’t believe how much I enjoy Gillian Anderson’s portrayal of Margaret Thatcher. Seeing as tho I’m such a Meryl StreepINISTA.
‘I love Helena as Princess Margaret & Josh as Prince Charles, although let’s face it; he’s a tad hunkier than the real Prince ever was— and yes, I just used the word “hunkier”.’
Nicki’s unique commentary continued as she added: ‘Olivia Colman as the later Queen… she’s a great actress. I actually enjoyed her portrayal of Mrs. Thatcher’s daughter in the IRON LADY even more than I enjoy her in this role! Go figure.

‘BRAVO to the entire cast, writers & directors.’
Last year it was revealed that, within the space of the first week, season four of the series was viewed more than 29million times across the world.
So it is safe to say Nicki – who welcomed her first child last year – isn’t the only one who has been completely swept up by the portrayal of the Queen’s life and has become obsessed with the story of Charles and Diana and their complicated marriage.
The Crown is available to stream on Netflix.
