I'm very proud of my team, and the way they stood behind me - and I'm very happy to show my female fans in that audience, and even my gay fans in that audience.

I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that.

I am Nicki Minaj, I mack them dudes up Back coupes up & chunk the deuce up

Before I got signed, I was doing a lot of DVD's, and a lot of freestyles.

I don't have to do things just to please people. It's okay to do what I love because what I love, my fans love. And they're really the only ones that should matter.

You shoulda left the other day You let me beg for you to stay

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