I feel like [throughout] my entire career and life, that I've been judged by people who really did not know me. But I definitely think that they probably were right to assume what they had assumed about me, because there was so little to go on out there. If you only see videos of me being crazy and hearing little things here and there, then obviously you're not going to have any idea who I really am.
Nicki MinajBeing honest, if I had a daughter I wouldn't want her listening to a Nicki Minaj CD until she was a certain age. Even when I meet my fans and they tell me they are 12, I cringe a little. I always say, 'Listen. I don't want you saying the bad words, put school first.'
Nicki MinajThere are sexual things that I do that arenโt for a man. I feel empowered sometimes by being sexy and being comfortable enough to be sexy on camera โ a lot of woman [sic] struggle with that. But, there are some days that I donโt want anyone to see me. Iโm just a regular girl. Some days, Iโm super-strong; some days, Iโm super-insecure. But, I donโt really identify with any particular label. I just speak my truth, and if people like it, they like it, and if they bash it, they bash it.
