Since it emerged she had been enlisted to judge on the show, there’s been an effort by some critics to belittle Nicki Minaj‘s achievements to justify their own doubts on her.
Of course, to any who’s followed her career since 2007 can attest to, the Rapper is anything but the mindless firework some outlets have billed her as following her run in with fellow judge Mariah Carey back in October.
Now watch as Minaj explains her layered past with those unfamiliar with it in a new promo piece for ‘Idol’.
A piece, where she opens up on the painful criticism she received as a Rap upstart, her days as a struggling actress and how her time as a ‘Red Lobster’ waitress fuelled her undying ambition to make her dreams a reality.
Catch ‘Idol’ when it hits FOX, January 16th.

*JANUARY 16&17th*
TUNE IN B****! I KNOW YOU WANNA SEE NICKI! HAHAHAHAH. STAY PRESSED.
Why don’t you take your own advice?
THE GREAT LACEFRONCE. your ignorance intensifies every day every year.
This interview just made me understand why I’m so drawn to Nicki, and why I find myself constantly checking for what she’s doing on the web.
She’s the most intelligent and at the same time most misunderstood artist I have witnessed so far.
There’s something very special about this woman, I thank God for her life.
U a f** THATS y u drawn to her…F**!
She’s a likable person when she just talks about her background without all that extra accents, personalities, etc that she does. I think its very interesting what she said about working hard to get yourself where you want to be. Its a great example to her fans that one should follow their dreams and never give up. There is that saying that you aren’t a failure unless you yourself think you’re a failure. She comes off very intelligent, great for her. She needs to show this side of her more often.
B****
you were just saying how im not talented in the other post
you fake h**!
Reread the comment! Fool!!
She wouldda sent Bob Dylan to a cornfield
People get too caught up in the Barbie S*** and completely ignore how much of an inspiration she is.
I would NEVER let my daughters listen to some on Nicki’s music…but as an example of a woman that starts from NOTHING and finds success in a room full of males, as a multifaceted business woman, as someone who retains their versatility through harsh criticism…Nicki is someone who I would want my daughters to inspire to be!
PINK FRIDAY FRAGRANCE IN STORES!
“I would never let my daughters listen to her music?”Yet you call her an inspiration?P*** Stars make money to you know.
I would never let my daughters listen to *SOME* of her music. Pay attention. SOME of NIcki’s music is too adult for children!!!
I went on to explain why I would consider her an inspiration. Use those reading skills and shut the f*** up h**! lmao
H** u aint got no kids
B**** pleeeease! You’ve been My SON! And you been in Time-Out so rest dat mouf h**!
Rest yo p**** b****
“People get too caught up in the Barbie S*** and completely ignore how much of an inspiration she is”
Well if SHE would stop with the barbie bubblegum fakeness den maybe ppl will SEE how “inspirational” she is!

H** getcho good samerian biych as off this.post.s****
Queen Nicki Is so well spoken and flaw-free, I just adore her.
I like her a lot I just can’t get into her music at all
IM DRIPPING WET RIGHT NOW READING THIS
D*** b****
Umm whoever said she’s one of the best looking in the Industry needs to get off the drugs. Her crazy ass wigs serve her no justice and her fashion sense is a fail and i dont care who gives me a thumbs down but I agree with everything she said in this video. Greatness takes hardwork and people always will always find a critique about u but u should not let it get to you unless it is constructive criticsm. Continue working hard at ur dreams and it will pay off. That’s what she did so I respect that.
Agreed.
H** she stole kim imagine so f*** u
Personally for me Nicki is much more likeable without all the extra fluff but the extra fluff is what made middle America love her besides the fact that she built an interest back into the female hip/pop lane when she released PF in 2010. She may not be on my radar as far as artists are concerned but I wish her nothing but continued success.
She pays u dusts sweetie
THIS PLASTIC BAG NEED TO DISAP ASAP 😐 *Vomiting*…
it’s not nice to talk about you mother like that.
I dont like her songs anymore, but since she respect herself, i will take it down.
Dead at yo name

Everything about her is fake chile
But she need to release some naked pics on instagram. people love this plastic ass 😛
The light would melt the b**** chile. (blooows fingernails)
Oh my heart bleeds for her!
Still doesnt justify why she aborted her baby.
your mother should have aborted your dumb ass.
