Ive always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13. – Nicki Minaj
Female rappers get it the hardest. You have to be a girl, yet you have to be just as hard as the guys. I think some female rappers get scared out of the business before they can make it. – Nicki Minaj
My advice to women in general: Even if youre doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want – and dont allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. – Nicki Minaj
Its not hard to get your way when its your way or the highway. People either follow suit or theyre not around. I dont really like the sound of that, cause that sounds like a temper tantrum. Im just very black and white when it comes to my business. Theres really no gray area. – Nicki Minaj
