Nicki Minaj Advices Struggling Female Rappers On How To Find Their Self-Worth

Nicki Minaj gave some words of wisdom to women struggling to find their self-worth in the music industry after she was presented with the Game-Changer award at the Billboard Women in Music event.

During her speech, the rap queen said she had once been in that situation before.

“I find that when there’s a lot of chaos or when I’m confused about who I am or feeling low or confused, taking time away to not be around other people and just get yourself focused, I think that’s always great,” Nicki told Billboard

The newly-married rapper continued to spread some encouraging words. 

“Your peace is the most important thing and knowing you’re beautiful and knowing you’re great is extremely important, you shouldn’t need anyone to tell you that; you should just know it and feel it every single day. You are that bitch,” she said.

Minaj went on to praise the new wave of female rappers, while suggesting changes she would like to see going forward. 

She added:

"What I would love to see some more of in the industry is less politics, less mentality that it’s about who you know and more just talent, talent, talent. I would love for rappers to be so passionate about rap that we feel it. 

"Everyone that has just come into the game, I’m proud of you guys because it’s not easy and I know that. So keep on doing your thing.”
