Nicki Minaj graces the front cover Teen Vogue magazine’s June/July issue. As well as taking part in a photo shoot, Nicki also took part in an interview with the magazine were she compared the music industry to high school, talked growing up, and social media.
Hit the jump to view a couple of photos of the Young Money Barbie from Teen Vogue’s photo shoot and read some excerpts from their interview!
“People treat this business like it’s high school. It can absolutely feel like one big popularity contest, and you know what? I can’t be bothered. I can’t allow myself to play ridiculous games with grown adults in the industry. I can’t be nice to someone just because they’re hot right now. I can’t do it.”
“Every time my parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new school, which meant I’d have to face the task of making new friends. I dreaded it. I had butterflies in my stomach each time: Are people going to like or hate me?… Sometimes there’d be a fight, sometimes not. I let people know I wasn’t going to be pushed around.”
“My journey to who I am today began on MySpace. I love getting real opinions from people.”
“I used to read the bad things people said about me. Then I asked myself, ‘Why am I reading that when I have millions of people saying great things?’ You cannot give negativity power. I tell teens, if you’re having a problem, there’s nothing wrong with deleting your social media. If people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it’s poison.”
