Nicki Minaj won't let being a woman stop her from being successful
and from her latest interview, it seems that the only person she truly
admires is Jay Z.
The Starships hitmaker has become hugely
popular despite the hip hop industry being dominated by male rappers,
but she's also managed a mainstream crossover.
Nicki spoke about her drive and ambition in a new interview with Marie Claire.
The
fierce star doesn't believe that her sex determines how successful she
can be and looks to Jay Z as inspiration as to what she can achieve.

“I don't need to read a book about [business]. I can look at
someone's career and just pinpoint the dos and the don'ts, and the one
person I've done that with for my entire career was Jay Z,” the cover
star told the magazine.
“He did such a great job being an
authentic street guy and a businessman, and I was like, Why aren't there
women doing that, taking the success from rap and channeling it into
their empire? I felt like anything he could do, I could do.”
Nicki
wants women to be inspired to achieve their goals on their own without
looking to a partner and ride on the coattails of their success.
“I want your goal in life to be to become an entrepreneur, a rich
woman, a career-driven woman. You have to be able to know that you need
no man on this planet at all, period, and he should feel that, because
when a man feels that you need him, he acts differently,” she said.
Nicki also spoke about her good friend Beyonce, who she has worked with on tracks Feeling Myself and the Flawless remix.

“Every time Bey and I do something together, I see how women are
inspired, and it has nothing to do with how we look. It has to do with
how we are owning who we are and telling other women you should be the
boss of your own career and the brains behind your life or your
decisions or your art. I just love that feeling,” she said.
