One of the subjects Minaj comes back to again and again is the idea that a woman who is willing to speak her mind and focus unapologetically on her career will be labelled a b****, while a man doing the same thing will be celebrated. She draws comparisons between her experiences and that of male rappers who have nowhere near her level of talent but who are criticised half as much. Minaj also objects to being defined in relation to the men in her personal and professional life. In a recent interview, she was asked whether the infighting between her former and present lover and other men on her label came about because she thrives off drama. Minaj's response was perfect: "Four grown-ass men are having issues between themselves, and youre asking me do I thrive off drama?". Preach, Nicki.
