Mikey: In this clip from Nicki’s BET special, she comes to several realizations after visiting 106 & Park. She admits that she feels guilty about some of her explicit lyrics and how they may effect her younger fans. (Excerpts from Nicki’s Details Magazine interview after the jump)
Added: Nicki Minaj addresses her haters after the jump (Props VIBE)
From Details:
Q: As younger and younger fans come to your shows, do you feel pressure to tone down the racier elements of your persona?
A: I do. I’m a role model now. I didn’t know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans, so I’ve tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls don’t want me to be Miley Cyrus, either.
Q: You sign your fans’ breasts at shows. Do their boyfriends get jealous?
A: If anything, boys are telling me to sign their girls’ boobs. I’ve gone through 15 markers in a single night—because the girls are usually sweating, and a marker will stop writing if the girls are wet.
Q: As an openly bisexual rapper, do you think hip-hop is getting more gay-friendly?
A: I think the world is getting more gay-friendly, so hip-hop is too. But it’s harder to imagine an openly gay male rapper being embraced. People view gay men as having no street credibility. But I think we’ll see one in my lifetime.

People talk about Nicki Minaj based on her affiliation with Young Money, her ass and tits, and her retard Barbie image. She gives people so much to take from her :/ smh

Wish she would tone down the bi-sexual vibe. Everybody doesnt find it appealing. Some people call it being open-minded, I call it being open to any nonsense in the atmosphere. Living in NYC keeps u thinking that the world is accepting. Ugh, NO, the rest of us know better. I think her flow is cute, her look is stunning, but I’m not so sure about her hot song making ability. So far, her looks and features have carried her well. That first single (‘Massive Attack’) wont be doing much. Call KANYE.

“The rest of us know better?” No, you just have some maturing to do.

Maturing? Cuz I see no appeal in a women declaring her bi-(confusion)-sexuality? If you have stand for nothing then u fall for anything. When you understand that one day, you get my problem with bisexuality. The fact that no guy could ever say that out loud and be accepted should tell u something. No one would even care if she wasnt attractive.

You really care who is attracted to who? You must have nothing better to do with your life. Hopefully you can find something meaningful to concern yourself with. Just because women don’t appeal to you doesn’t mean everyone has to be like you. Get over yourself.

I listen to Nicki’s music & happen to enjoy it minus her bisexual references. She makes it my business by repping herself in the public domain that way. I’m just a fan who wants her to refrain since it doesn’t enhance her at all. I have a right to my opinion. The fact that u are so bothered by such should make you look inside yourself. When people are secure in what they are, they don’t get hot & bothered by a dissenting viewpoint that doesn’t hurt them. Men belong with women. Women/women men/men, it doesn’t work biologically for a reason.

Nicki is cute but WTF was she looking at in the vibe interview? Her eyes were on constant swivel, I couldnt pay attention to anything else during it.

And we’ve yet to hear Nicki Minaj on censoring her age…
I have a problem with her waving the bisexual flag. One, because she really isn’t one, she’s been with her hypeman, SB, for four years, and if you look around the interwebs you’ll find her old classmates insisting she’s straight as a ruler (she was known as Cookie back then at Laguardia High School aka the Fame school).
Nicki seems like she just talks about kissing girls and signing boobs in the worst Katy-Perry-cum-frat-party way possible: FOR ATTENTION! She doesn’t know a thing about LGBT rights, she uses phrases like “pause” and “no homo” which exacerbate the homophobia in rap.
Look at Lady Gaga, who attended the National Equality March and is an advocate for LGBT rights. Do you think Onika knows her state’s stance on gay marriage? I bet she doesn’t even care if it’s legalized.
I dunno, there’s just so much fake about her, I love her raps and all but she’s becoming more and more what I consider a bad role model for young girls, encouraging even worse standards (Barbie).
Add to that that she wants to be known as a female “entertainer” and that’s it. Fuckin rap girl! We need more female RAPPERS. Not entertainers.
I predict that the dichotomy between her real self and stage persona is going to make her go crazy when the lines start blurring between entertainment and real life.

Haha. I get disillusioned with Nicki sometimes but I do love her as a female rapping, she has some sick rhymes and is without a doubt incredibly talented. I feel like we have to treat Nicki like we treat Obama: just because there’s a female rapper out there rockin it, doesn’t mean she is not subject to criticism. Nicki can’t be perfect, but she vacillates so much between being a badass rapper and wanting to be an “entertainer” with less focus on rap. KRS1 said it himself, we need more women in hip hop! I’m very happy that we have a female presence in hip hop again, and even gladder that instead of dividing female mc’s, Nicki seems to have brought femcees out the woodwork – we got Eve rappin again! (not that it’s good…blech.) I just feel very passionately about female rappers, it is one of the sole frontiers in hip hop that has yet to be conquered. I would love to see a female in everyone’s Top 5 DOA in my lifetime. It’s about time!

We will never see an openly Gay Male rapper or a Bi sexual one excepted in this lifetime (unless 50 cent finally comes out of his closet) and the reason is A women being with another women is viewed as sexy a man being with another man is viewed as sick, plus if Nicki wasn’t as attrctive as she is if she looked like say Gracxe jones she wouldn’t be accepted either.
