Nicki Minaj
was a fierce kitten for the latest issue of V magazine. The hourglass
shaped entertainer took on sexy costumes for the magazine's editorial
feature.
The rapper dished on her career and the need to constantly push herself to be the best, “I
always feel it’s important for me to show females that they can be in
charge of their own situation. I came into the game creating my own
brand. I was doing things very early on that set me apart from people
who just took orders and allowed their brand to be created for them. I
love women who take control, who set standards, and who believe in
themselves enough to lead the way in terms of their career. I’ve done
that. When I win and when I lose.”
On her risque lyrics, “I
always push the envelope, because I’m Nicki Minaj. I have to. No matter
who I’m on a song with, I feel like I have to say at least one thing no
one else is willing to say. Whether it’s Madonna, Britney, or Beyoncé,
they always tell me, ‘Yes. Be Yourself. Talk your shit.'”
And on her 'Anaconda' criticism, “You’re
talking about news people who don’t even know anything about hip-hop
culture. It’s so disrespectful for them to even comment on something
they have no idea about. They don’t say anything when they’re watching
the Victoria’s Secret show and seeing boobs and thongs all day. Why?
Shame on them. Shame on them for commenting on “Anaconda” and not
commenting on the rest of the overspecialized business we’re a part of.”
