Highlights

  • The Check It Out rapper was constantly told to act and dress in a seductive way when she started off her hip-hop career but she resisted.
  • Nicki is now famous for her flamboyant outfits and obsession with Barbie dolls and she insists it's important to embrace your uniqueness as a woman rather than conform to the stereotypical concept of sexiness that pervades throughout the pop world.
  • She said: "When I started getting serious about rap, the people closest to me were like, 'You should dress this way, you should speak that way, you should rap this way.' I just started feeling super caged in.
  • "It seemed the only look for women in hip-hop was sexy. I thought you had to do that. But it's boring. The typical sexy. I mean, girls wanna be sexy but I also think you have other sides of yourself."
  • Nicki made a conscious decision to alter her look before her album Pink Friday was released in 2010 because she realised she had been suppressing so much of her personality.
  • In an interview with the Daily Telegraph newspaper, she added: "Right before my album came out I felt like I had been hiding my personality - my comedic side."
