If the rumors are to
believed, Nicki Minaj soon won't have American Idol
as a platform with which she can reach young fans. She'll be off the show
almost as soon as Season 12 concludes. But the eccentric singer
does cover the latest issue of Teen Vogue, hoping her past experiences
can shape the future of many followers out there.
"Every time my
parents fought, my mother would have us move and I would have to go to a new
school, which meant I'd have to face the task of making new friends,"
Nicki said, adding:
"I encountered
jealous girls a lot. What it came down to is that the bullies wanted me to bow
down to them and I just wouldn't."
Minaj said she got into a
few fights, yet everyone knew she was not going to be "pushed
around."
But the artist has taken a
different approach with virtual criticism, saying of negative messages across
various social media networks:
"I used to read the
bad things people said about me. Then I asked myself, 'Why am I reading that
when I have millions of people saying great things?' You cannot give negativity
power."
Hear that, younger
generation?
"I tell teens... If
people keep taunting you and you keep reading it, it's poison," Minaj
said.
Makes perfect sense to us.
