I understand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there. There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on.

Respect your haters. They're the only ones who think you're better than them.

I put God first and do not allow other things to cloud my vision.

Bought the president the Louis presidential briefcase Never been a cheapskate

Clap for the heavy weight champ ME But I couldn't do it all alone WE

Defend my honor - Protect my pride

I don't compare myself to Lil Kim. I'm not doing anything in comparison with any girls. I'm doing Nicki Minaj.
