[WATCH] Nicki Minaj Declares She’s Queen & King of New York + Talks Being Overlooked by Kendrick Lamar & Defends Uber Sexy Halloween Costume
I’m the Queen of New York. I’m the King of New York. Let me tell you why…platinum albums. Albums plural. Number one in five motherf*ckin’ countries…don’t play with me..You better respect my muthaf*ckin’ gangsta…When you got an album that go number one in Japan and in the U.K. and in Australia and America at the same motherf*ckin time and Canada, then you can speak my motherf*ckin’ name…
She later tweeted that her referring to herself as the King of New York, was simply a joke…but Mr. Carter holds the title:
By the way, if you’re wondering why Minaj felt absolutely comfortable baring all types of skin for her Halloween costume, it has everything to do with her doing exactly what she wants to do, with no regard of what the world may think.
She shared:
What makes me wanna do it? I just been feeling a lot freer? You know and it’s like, if you feelin’ yourself, you might just wanna show the world like, ‘F*ck the world’. You know what I mean? Cuz sometimes you just hold so much back…It’s like look, I’m a girl…I won’t be able to do this when I’m 60 years old…so I’m gonna f*cking do it….I didn’t know it was going to be that big of a deal…

i guess…
That costume wasn’t uber sexy it was uber trashy!!!
sigh… Oh Nicki. It’s sad to me that at 31 years old and without the financial burdens like that Sallie Mae monkey on her back this costume is what “freedom” represents for her. She is correct in that she’s free to do whatever she chooses but I’d hope that she would desire to use her freedom in more constructive ways. The timeline for women rappers is much shorter than men’s and besides Queen Latifah not one female rapper has really been able to successfully transition into a long-term, respected career. Hopefully, Nicki is also using her freedom to make some long term plans.
Her platinum albums would not exist if it wasn’t for the many rappers that came before her and paved the way…and the majority or them had more talent in their pinkies than she had on all of her albums combined. #gimmick
