RadioOnFire.com - Nicki Minaj is tired of racial double standards and unafraid to let her voice be heard. The Pinkprint rapper covers the November issue of Marie Claire magazine and did not hold back on her thoughts about the way black women are treated and viewed in Hollywood, in both the media and rap. Not only did she voice her opinion, she called out hip-hop heavyweight Kanye West, whom she collaborated with in the past.
"I'm so tired of black women feeling that when our men get rich, they're going to leave them for a woman of a different race," Nicki shared with the magazine. "It wasn't funny when Kanye said [in his 2005 hit 'Gold Digger'], 'When he get on, he'll leave your a-- for a white girl' -- and Kanye happens to be with a white girl now. It wasn't funny when he said it; it was the f------ truth."
She also called out Sharon Osbourne who supported Kanye's wife, Kim Kardashian, when she took a naked selfie but called Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" artwork a "cheap porno cover of a DVD."
Minaj not only talked about the issues of just black women, but she also spoke of all women struggling with having the wrong type of goals.
"Nowadays, I feel like [young women] see marrying into money -- I think that's a big thing now. I don't want that to be a woman's goal in life," Nicki explained, before offering some sage advice for what women should be striving towards. "I want your goal in life to be to become an entrepreneur, a rich woman, a career-driven woman. You have to be able to know that you need no man on this planet at all, period, and he should feel that, because when a man feels that you need him, he acts differently."
