Major Key Alert: Nicki Minaj presented with the 'Keys' to the city of Queens in New York

Nicki Minaj has just been awarded an honorary key to the city of Queens, New York from the borough's president, Melinda Katz, for her "outstanding career achievements in music."

She shared the update on Instagram, calling the new accolade a "pleasant surprise."

Although she wasn't at the ceremony in person to receive the award, she did note that she was interested in meeting with Katz.

Nicki couldn't make it because she was preparing for her performance at Monday night's inaugural NBA Awards, where she owned the stage in a lavish, queen-worthy costume and paraded with male dancers.
