Nicki Minaj Covers ELLE Magazine!

You read that correctly, rapper and American Idol judge Nicki Minaj will be the May cover girl for Elle Magazine and she looks flawless. Like the headline reads, Nicki will be Unzipped as she opens up about her life, career goals and how she dealt with bullies. Nicki has made the headlines over the years and now with her firing her glam squad and seeing her personality shine on Fox's hit talent show, everyone is dying to know what's on Nicki's mind.


Love her or hate her you know what it is when you hear the name Nicki Minaj. She is one female MC that commands respect when she walks in the building. When you look at her career you can only say WOW. Now Nicki is everywhere it seems, I went to Macys doing some fragrance hunting and there is her perfume Pink Friday. An entrepreneur and a force to be reckoned with but it wasn't always that way for the multiplatinum artist. In this issue of Elle Nicki is going to explain her ups and downs and also give advice to women out there building their brands. I have to say that Miss Nicki is a breath of fresh air and I'm happy to see another young lady out there taking her field serious and showing love to her fans whom she affectionately call her Barbz. People you must pick up the issue but until then let's look at a few teasers from the magazine.

On Dealing With Bullies

 

“I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell.” “We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough. So I’ve always put up this wall — it was a self-defense mechanism growing up — because I was almost expecting people to attack me. And I still have it. It’s sad.”

Nicki’s Goals:

“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. I’m thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren can use to go to college. So world domination — in terms of providing for my family — is absolutely my goal.”

 

Nicki's View On Respect

“My advice to women in general: Even if you’re doing a 9-to-5 job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want, and don’t allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. You want everyone to know, Okay, I can’t play games with her. I have to do right by this woman. That’s what it’s all about.”
