Nicki Minaj Talks Double Standard That Exists For Black Women

Nicki's Marie Claire Magazine spread

*Nicki Minaj sat down with Maire Claire magazine to discuss how black women are shamed for trying to live beyond the shackles of the world, and she used Kim Kardashian’s naked notoriety to highlight the hypocrisy that black women are challenged by. She also talks about her musical competition, the goals of women today, her upcoming TV series and her new album.

Below are excerpts from the story via Marie Claire:

[On goals]: “Nowadays, I feel like [young women] see marrying into money—I think that’s a big thing now. I don’t want that to be a woman’s goal in life. I want your goal in life to be to become an entrepreneur, a rich woman, a career-driven woman. You have to be able to know that you need no man on this planet at all, period, and he should feel that, because when a man feels that you need him, he acts differently.”

[On competing with male rappers]: “I don’t need to read a book about [business]. I can look at someone’s career and just pinpoint the dos and the don’ts, and the one person I’ve done that with for my entire career was Jay Z. He did such a great job being an authentic street guy and a businessman, and I was like, Why aren’t there women doing that, taking the success from rap and channeling it into their empire? I felt like anything he could do, I could do.”

[On the double standard that exists for women of color in the media]: “When Kim Kardashian’s naked picture came out, [Sharon Osbourne] praised it, and my fans attacked her for being such a hypocrite. So it wasn’t trashy and raunchy when a white woman did it, but it was when a black woman did it? It’s quite pathetic and sad, but that is my reality, and I’ve gotten accustomed to just shutting it down.”

The November issue of Marie Claire hits newsstands on October 18th.
