Eve Doesn’t Approve of Nicki Minaj’s Shoot: Its just not right.
Eve Doesn’t Approve of Nicki Minaj’s Shoot: Its just not right.
She hasn’t been on The Talk for a week and Eve is already making headlines for her opinion.
This week, the new talk show host weighed in on Nicki Minaj’s new Paper Magazine cover.
The 39-year-old stated,
I worked with Nicki, I got to know her on ‘Barbershop’… she’s a nice person, she’s an amazing rapper, and as a lyricist I respect her… but as a woman, from my point of view, personally, I would not be able to do that.
I think in this climate, it’s not good. I think every artist has a right to express themselves however they want to express themselves and I respect that as well.
For me personally, as I started coming up in the business, I started realizing that young girls were looking up to me and younger people were looking up to me, and that, not that you want to be a role model, but it becomes what you become, it is what you are.
She continued,
As I’ve gotten older … I’d just rather be a voice that’s uplifting… I can be a voice for those girls that might not have a voice, in a different way without showing myself off … For the Nicki fans, I love her, respect her.
Go women in hip hop. It’s not my thing. I just don’t think it’s right. Personally. Period. That’s it.
See the clip and swipe.
Eve received some backlash from Minaj’s fans, which prompted her to respond on social media.
Do you agree or disagree with Eve’s opinion?
