Nicki Minaj always wanted to be a 'superhero'
09 April 2011
The ‘Check It Out’ singer insists she has always aimed to be the equal of men, and would hate to be viewed as the “sidekick” of someone else.
She said: “I always wanted to play with the boys. I didn’t want to be a pawn in their game or have a sidekick role. I wanted to be more of a lead character—a superhero.
“I’m fighting for the girls who never thought they could win.”
The 26-year-old Trinidad-born beauty also admitted she would rather be thought of as funny than sexy.
Speaking about her duet with Ludacris on ‘My Chick Bad’, she said: “I chose to do punch lines and be comical, to show how bad I am lyrically, as opposed to how sexy I think I am.”
Nicki – who moved to New York when she was five years old – also spoke of her outrageous sense of style, admitting she is drawn to “insane” accessories.
She told America’s Elle magazine: I lived and shopped in Jamaica, Queens.
“I tend to like booties and really flashy shoes: totally studded out, in five colours with an insane platform.”
