In a most recent interview in the New York Times Magazine, Nicki Minaj was definitely stating facts from top to bottom. Here what stuck out to me the most on what said about people's images and the culture turn around;
‘‘People’’ — famous people, she means — ‘‘are posting pictures of working out, and then there’s a change in their body” most likely from plastic surgery, “and they say it’s because they were working out! Ah-hahahaha.’’ Then she turns serious again. ‘‘Back in the day, in hip-hop, the thick girl was glorified. Now the rappers are dating skinny white women. So it’s almost like, ‘Wait a minute, who’s going to tell the thick black girls that they’re sexy and fly, too?’
When I read this all I could say was "she's right". It sad to see black women being degraded over what God has given them(us and even me). I understand people have there preferences but it can be a little mind boggling at times when I see there is a big difference on how hip hop was before and who was praised upon. And it's true; who is going tell the thick black girls that they're sexy and fly too?? Who? Is you? Do I have to continue to tell it to myself? All I have to say is thank you to Nicki for speaking up on the culture changes and how we should continue to uplift each other and instead if degrading one another.
