Nicki Minaj Joins The Feminist Movement

Nicki Minaj is the latest feminist in town.

In an interview with V magazine, she talked about empowering women and the controversy surrounding her Anaconda video.

“I always feel it’s important for me to show females that they can be in charge of their own situation.I came into the game creating my own brand. I was doing things very early on that set me apart from people who just took orders and allowed their brand to be created for them. I love women who take control, who set standards, and who believe in themselves enough to lead the way in terms of their career. I’ve done that. When I win and when I lose.”On the criticism of Anaconda,

“If a man did the same video with sexy women in it, no one would care. You’re talking about newspeople who don’t even know anything about hip-hop culture. It’s so disrespectful for them to even comment on something they have no idea about. They don’t say anything when they’re watching the Victoria’s Secret show and seeing boobs and thongs all day. Why? Shame on them. Shame on them for commenting on “Anaconda” and not commenting on the rest of the oversexualized business we’re a part of.”
