10 Times Nicki Minaj Shut Down Interviewers

Over the course of her career, Nicki Minaj has
proved herself very adept at shutting down
disrespectful interview questions.

As the most popular female rapper since...
basically ever, Nicki Minaj faces more than her
fair share of hurdles in the media. More often
than not, she's portrayed as a "bitchy" or
"bossy" individual who's liable to fly off the
handle at any moment, and that's not even
mentioning the unfair tightrope she's forced to
walk between fans of her considerable lyrical
talents and her more pop music-oriented
supporters. This image of an immensely
talented loudmouth who cashes out on
"Starships" in favor of staying on the mixtape
circuit is one egged on (if not created) by the
media, and thusly she's faced uphill battles
during interviews on numerous occasions.
Luckily, she happens to be well-equipped for
dealing with disrespect, and has a track
record of some truly great comebacks.
This morning, we got the latest of those ,
which in effect cut the interview short. Here are
Ms. Minaj's wittiest and most brutal put-
downs in the face of leading questions, sexist
remarks and bigoted "real rap" fans.
