Nicki Minaj Talks Back-Handed Compliments, Beyonce & Sex (Sorta) With Billboard

Working on American Idol

Once I did Idol, a lot of people would come up to me and say, ‘Oh, you’re smarter than I thought.’ What does that mean? Was I making weird faces [that made you think] I was stupid? Thank God I did that show. At least I was able to show my true self, speak and have a mind.

Have sex.
