One of the first production deals I signed, the guy wanted my name to be Minaj and I fought him tooth and nail. But he convinced me. I've always hated it.
Nicki MinajWhen people see my makeup, they think all types of crazy things that I'm doing to my skin, but it's makeup. It's the weirdest thing. They'll see contouring and think you had surgery on your nose. No. No. No. Look at 'RuPaul's Drag Race' and you'll see... you can make your nose look... what ever shape you want it.
Nicki MinajI donโt find it fun watching someone trying to be sexy. Itโs whack. Iโm trying to just show my true personality, and I think that means more than anything else. I think when personality is at the forefront, its not about male or female, its just about, who is this weird character?
Nicki MinajI thought I was going to die. I was a teenager. It was the hardest thing Iโd ever gone through. Itโd be contradictory if I said I wasnโt pro-choice. I wasnโt ready. I didnโt have anything to offer a child.
Nicki MinajI have a song I wrote called โAutobiography.โ I came from a very intense living situation, with having a parent on drugs and not having a lot of money. So I always want to talk about the real things. But I think 90 percent of my music, I want it to be 'feel-good music'. I'm already recording tracks for my album, but when it comes time to actually say, 'this is the album,' I may be in a completely different space than I'm in right now.
