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
Im a role model now. I didnt know I was gonna have 13-year-old fans, so Ive tried to change a few things here and there. But I also know that the girls dont want me to be Miley Cyrus, either. – Nicki Minaj
You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you dont make moves and when you dont climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because youre not competition. – Nicki Minaj
My goal in the beginning was to buy my mother a house. Now I realize, okay, if I really focus and become a key player in business, then I can build an empire. – Nicki Minaj
Folks dont like to have somebody around knowing more than they do. It aggravates em. Youre not gonna change any of them by talking right, theyve got to want to learn themselves, and when they dont want to learn theres nothing you can do but keep your mouth shut or talk their language. – Harper Lee
