10 Savage Comments By Nicki Minaj

• Minaj has been candid about her personal life, love, and sex. Once she said, "No matter wut he, or anyone else says, Onika Tanya Maraj won't b pushing anyone out her vajayjay, until she's married. Now check that."
• Minaj's songs also totally support her beliefs. She has been a great support to women and girls, who want to do something in their life. She says, "I want to show little girls that the possibilities are endless. That’s my goal – to not only do it for myself but to show them I can do whatever I put my mind to.” 
• Minaj wanted to be a brand, in fact, she is a brand, she frequently said, “I want to build my empire. In my field, I have always seen men do it. From Diddy to Dr. Dre to Jay Z. Now it’s a woman’s turn.
  “In any field, women must work TWICE as hard to even get HALF the respect their male counterparts get. When does this stop? … The greats collaborated w/Drake, Kendrick & Jcole b/c they’re dope MC’s. They collab’d w/nicki cuz someone pulled a gun to their head....Putting ppl in the same sentence as me after my 10 years of consistent winning. What are you teaching THEM? They’d never do this to a man,” said Minaj.
  "My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It’s a never-ending saga", added Minaj. 
• Her childhood was tough with her alcoholic and drug-addict dad. She felt her father brought pain to her entire family by abusing her mother, selling off things for drug money, and once, even setting their house on fire while her mom was still inside. Minaj prayed for becoming rich so she could rescue her family. For her working hard was one way of it.
  In one of her interviews, she said, "Stay in school. Don’t ever be lazy, and don’t you ever complain about hard work. Work hard, it pays off.” “Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye, but regrets can last for a lifetime.”
• Nicki Minaj has always been vocal about her appearance, clothing, and the way she feels sexy. In one of her songs, she said, "I'm a grown-ass fucking woman! I stand for girls wanting to be sexy and dance but also have a strong sense of themselves. If you got a big ol' butt? Shake it! Who cares? That doesn't mean you shouldn't be graduating from college."
• "There are sexual things that I do that aren't for a man. I feel empowered sometimes by being sexy and being comfortable enough to be sexy on camera — a lot of woman struggle with that. But there are some days that I don't want anyone to see me. I'm just a regular girl. Some days I'm super strong; some days I'm super insecure," said Minaj
  
• "People view sexy as weak. If you're overtly sexy, people don't expect you to be smart. Sometimes women are dressing sexy for themselves — not necessarily because they want to have sex with some man. Sometimes that's what makes them feel good and empowered."
• Nicki Minaj's witty and savage replies have gotten her tag of weirdo, to which Minaj has no problem. She says, "I don't mind being called a weirdo. There are a lot of people in hip-hop who are probably never going to get what I do. But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper." 
• Nicki Minaj's songs are also a replica of her own life. Minaj spoke about her teenage abortion in The Pinkprint single “All Things Go,” rapping, “My child with Aaron would have been 16, any minute.” However, she doesn't regret it.
• Minaj is not only known for her savage reply. She has been contributing a lot to making people's lives better. The ‘Anaconda’ singer posted an image on Instagram in 2017 to acknowledge the support she has been sending to a poor village in India for the past couple of years providing access to clean water, education, and other basic amenities. Minaj wrote, “This is the kind of thing that makes me feel the proudest. The money I’ve sent to this village in India for the last couple of years , has gotten them a Computer Center, a Tailoring Institute, a Reading Program, and 2 WATER WELLS.”
