Young Money's Nicki Minaj dishes on her determination to stand atop hip-hop's empire amongst moguls like Jay Z and how she envisions her own family in the L'Uomo Vogue October issue.
Excerpts from Nicki’s interview have landed online this week.
“I don’t want to work my whole life without ever experiencing the joys of a family,” the 31-year-old told L’Uomo Vogue’s October issue. “I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child.” (E! Online)
Nicki also dishes on Dr. Dre, Diddy and Jay Z right here…
Minaj also delved into her determination to be taken seriously as a successful hip-hop artist.
“At first, no one took me seriously,” she admitted to the publication while promoting her upcoming album The Pink Print. “In the world of rap, women are usually relegated to the choir.” She added, “I want to build my empire. In my field, I have always seen men do it—from Diddy to Dr. Dre to Jay Z. Now it’s a woman’s turn.” (E! Online)
