Like many, ABC’s Nightline see the similarities between Pop forces Nicki Minaj and Lady GaGa.
However, for the ‘Pink Friday’ femcee, they’re comparisons she wants none of. Peep her “interesting” appearance on the hit show below and pay particular attention to point 5.10 and beyond…
——————
Minaj: (Do comparisons to GaGa offend me?) No. Irk me? Yes. First of all, I’m a rapper. I’m from Southside, Jamaica, Queens. What are the similarities? Let me turn the cameras and ask you.
Interviewer: Wigs and…
Minaj: Wigs? Every female in this game wears wigs.
Interviewer:…the over-the-top costumes…
Minaj: Over-the-top costumes? Ehhh…try again.
Interviewer: It does make you mad!
Minaj: No. It’s just getting tiring. In the beginning I was like “ok, it’s cool. Haha, when they get to know me they’ll understand”. I mean GaGa is a fantastic artist. She’s paved her way. She’s opened her own lane. I feel like I have my own lane. And we never cross…ever.
——————
Oh Onika. No.
In being keen appreciators of her “movement”, it’s also imperative to keep it 100 at all times. This being one of those times.
For an artist who -for all her success- is still “establishing”, this strand of “diva” is a no-no. A simple “GaGa is great, but I have my own lane” would have sufficed. But that long, drawn-out “dramafication” just resulted in Nicki looking more pressed than a pancake.
I mean, there’s keeping it real and keeping it “professional-real”.
Instances such as this remind that regardless of what Platinum plaques sit on her wall, Minaj is still “media-green”. Here’s hoping this serves as a learning experience when she watches it back.
Your thoughts?

The thing we all had to consider is niki did not start her career light skin, nor did she with this crazy outfit and styles. It is annoying because this is not the niki people first saw. I will agree with maturing as an artist not in the drastic appearance. Her face is always painted looking animated and her lashes are always 6 inches long. Not forgetting her huge ass with mucho cellulite. Too many colors niki for an artist your age. Will anyone claim this as being YOU? SORRY BARBS BUT I WILL ANTICIPATE THIS FEMALE RAPPER IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

wow I always tought she wanted to be the black lady gaga because the similarities are endless,motortruck mouth,annoying baby and stupid talk ,when they talk it seems they don´t use their brain very often (brains must be getting old for no use) they always contradicts themselves never stands for their actions,they are egocentric and delusional ,they have stupid lyrics on their songs,they want us to believe their songs are masterpieces and inspirational,they want us to believe that gimmicks and using halloween costumes its talent ,both ladies think they are very inovative and original on the music game ,did I say very mediocre talent? well tough honestly gaga does really have more talent in one pinky compared to minaj , and the last one minaj working with redone.
and she really want us to believe she´s not following the gaga road? give me a break¡ as i said when she came out she just came for her 5 minutes of fame ,at least she can say she tied the queen of pop ,both got a number one album on billboard and its the worst album of their carrers ,cheers nicki ¡¡

you are copying GAGA. i don’t know how you gonna try to deny it or sugar coat it , you are doing it. actually you copied everyone if we talk originality
that shit about ” my lane” ain’t gonna foolin’ anybody. you are like a student who know nothing about the test she’s about to have and she’s cheating from everybody around her to PASS the test and now that she’s finally did it she thought she’s winning and as smart as the ppl he cheated from.
that is you NICKI minaj
, a cheater and a copycat ! 
that not gonna happen. and this bitch is unoriginal. she never wore wigs when she started , gaga was the one who was the only one who’s wearing those stuffs when she started and she made all the other girls go fierce and try those high-fashion outfit !!
as i said before , she’s like the student who cheated from everyone above in my example.
to be special u have to have something unique about you , something YOU-nique. something that is SO YOU. very YOU.
all of them songs you did with redone , gaga’s main producer , all those fashion disasters ” the grammy’s anyone ?!” , her trying to shock with fashion and having odd performances to try to copy gaga , you ARE OBSESSED with copying her , k ?!
copy/paste this cheater bitch :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pGpTRjPWR8
this bitch with her small brain fail to understand it till now and i think she should shut the fuck up cuz she’s so stupid and ignorant in her interviews and her lacking common sense is hilarious.
do not talk originality OFaka fakaj !!!!
peace and out.

Anyone who thinks Nicki slammed Gaga needs to get their shade catchers degree revoked! Where are the receipts for these lies & assumptions? She even called Gaga a fantastic artist.

I am a young guy but If I had kids or teenagers i bet you these would be the crap that I would never feed them ,I would explain them these kind of crappy music and lyrics would´nt do anything for them or their lives ,theres nothing inspiring or to look for in these fakey rolemodels that just let us know that selling our souls some tits and ass its ok in order to get instant recognition and material things ,what these dumb and clasless ladies doesn´t know its that fast and instant recognition doesn´t give you a LEGEND status ,because legends are made of something more sustainable that is TALENT

She has every right to respond that way. Lady Gaga did not invent dressing up in something other than a one color dress that all stars wear to red carpets and performances and music videos. NIcki did theatrics for four years in high school and thats why she does those things.

Like i said before Nicki is white from the neck up. How can you not compare them? They’re both the same skin color now (we all know you’re bleaching your skin) and those blonde wigs. You wanna be white Nicki you are a sell out. Those costumes look like leftovers from gagas closet and the colorful wigs are giving me Crush on You Lil Kim tease. This is not itty bitty piggy minaj she died a longer time ago.

A) Call, text, skype, oovoo, or tweet Beyonce and get hooked up to her supplier
or
B) Go back to having them big round-the-way girl bangs. This is unacceptable.
N e who, about the Lady GaGa comparisons……
Why is she upset? She act like she didn’t waltz her ass in there looking like….GaGa.
If it irks her so much then just stop doing it. Plain and simple.

Also, I love how much she contradicts herself. “I’m a RAPPER from Southside Jamaica-Queens”. Didn’t she say (in defense for the “sell-out” claims) that she didn’t wanna be put in a box and labeled as just a “rapper”? That she just does what she wants?
And why does she claim her hometown when it’s convenient? Wasn’t she just rantin and sayin “Fuck Queens and NY” recently? Besides that, what does Queens have to do with anything she was asked about?

Nicki and Gaga blew out around the same time after years and years of struggling so yeah, they’ll fell in the same category and therefore are somewhat rivals and will be compared to each other…

Much ado about nothing, Nicki didn’t insult Gaga at all – she was just irritated by other people comparing her to Gaga, she said Gaga is a fantastic artist. I personally have no idea whether Nicki is emulating Gaga or if her clothes are her own idea but I will say that Gaga somehow manages to carry off most of her oddball outfits, shame we can’t say the same about Nicki who often looks a total train wreck. She needs to get away from all those fluorescent clashing colours as she looks like she should be on CBeebies ;o)
