On the episode, Nicki gets the word “Barbie” tattooed onto her wrist by “Black Ink Crew” star Ryan Henry.
“Keep killing it. Keep doing your thing. There’s not f*cking ceiling on your growth. There’s no ceiling on your prosperity. It’s all in your mind. Whatever you say with your mouth, confess it and that’s that. And then walk towards it and keep it moving. And anybody who don’t fall in line, falls back and that’s that.” Nicki tells them about her tattoo idea, which will commemorate her new album, Queen. She’s a little scared about the pain, but with some reassurance from Ryan, she’s ready to go. (VH1)
Outside of reality TV, Nicki recently talked about piecing together her “FeFe” smash single.
