Nicki Minaj Wants Women To Rap Again
Additionally, Nicki noted that she wants to see more female emcees step up their spit game. During the interview with JT, Minaj released the “Queen Mix” which features an entire line-up of great female emcees, including BIA and Akbar V. Moreover, it gives women a high-profile platform to drop their best rhymes.
Moreover, Nicki Minaj revealed that during a live performance she refused to wear revealing clothes, so that the audience could focus solely on her bars.
“When I did my BET Cypher years ago, I wore a sweatsuit . . . So even though we were being playful on the song, and we all had fun, you all really delivered,” she said in the interview.
Anyone who knows Nicki Minaj, knows she’s all about catering to real talent on the mic.
