*Nicki Minaj has been a controversial artist since she came up on the scene. Her racy fashion and suggestive lyrics and strange behavior have more than just turned heads. It’s even caused parents to actually monitor their children’s iPods.
In any case, the young star recently told a British news outlet, The Sun, that she wouldn’t allow her own child to listen to her music.
“…When I meet my fans and they tell me they are 12, I cringe a little,” Nicki said. “I always say, ‘Listen. I don’t want you saying the bad words, put school first’. At the same time, I am like their bigger sister. I’m not like their mom. I have to give them the good with the bad. If I censor them completely and say ‘don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t’ then that’s what they are going to ‘do do do do do’. You have to tell kids this is the real world but they don’t have to go down this road. Just pay attention and do your best.”
Nicki also revealed that if she had a daughter, she probably wouldn’t let them listen to her music.
“Being honest, if I had a daughter I wouldn’t want her listening to a Nicki Minaj CD until she was a certain age.”
What an idiot. That shows you how smart you are. If you don’t want to influence kids in a negative light, then why say those stupid things then? Stooopid!
I’m sure you have sex and can imagine that you wouldn’t want your kids doing the same until they were of a certain age.
Idiot meet idiot
I see you are assuming. Bottom line, rappers, singer, media influence EVERYONE! That is why what comes on my tv is monitored. I am calling Nicki Minaj an idiot btw.
Well I do agree with Nikki in that most of her (and other artists’) music is not appropriate for a younger audience. After the buying age (is it 17 or 18?) of restriction is passed, people are free to choose whatever they want to listen to.
the only reason why a 12y/o or younger listens to her spew, is b/c the person buying it is “probably the mother”, “+ or -” 24y/o and the child is in the thick of it.
