Nicki Minaj is recognized for her rap, singing, songwriting, and acting talents. She has produced popular songs such as Super Bass, Anaconda, and Super Freaky Girl.
Despite her thriving profession, there is a lot of interest surrounding her family life, particularly Nicki Minaj‘s siblings. She grew up with four siblings- three brothers and one sister.
Who are Nicki Minaj’s Siblings?
Jelani Maraj
Jelani Maraj is the eldest child of Robert and Carol Miraj. He was born on 27 November 1978 in Saint James, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. Following his mother’s success in obtaining a green card, he and his family moved to Queens, New York, United States.
The eldest of Nicki Minaj’s siblings gained notoriety in 2017 when he was convicted of sexually assaulting his 11-year-old daughter in Long Island.
In January 2020, Jelani’s son testified to witnessing the assault and a subsequent DNA test confirmed his account. As a result, the perpetrator was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Brandon Lamar
Nicki Minaj’s half-sibling Brandon Lamar was born on 14 November 1988 in Queens, New York, United States. Like his older sister, he is a rapper, producer, and entrepreneur, and has dropped songs such as Dismissed, 4 My Town, and 6-Foot-7. Despite his musical career, he prefers to maintain a low profile and not much is revealed about his personal life.
Micaiah Miraj
Micaiah Maraj is the youngest of Nicki Minaj’s siblings. He was born on 29 March 1998 in Queens, New York, USA. As of July 2024, he is 26 years old and falls under the zodiac sign of Aries.

Although they have the same father, Nicki, and Ming Maraj have different mothers. Ming’s existence was kept private until Nicki introduced her to the public in 2013.
During an interview on We In Miami, Ming Li Miraj opened up about her experience of getting bullied in school.
“In elementary, middle school, high school, the moment people knew who I was, it was either like they would ask me about my sister or ask me like just weird things that’s gonna make me feel uncomfortable.”
