Nicki Minaj Defends Her Position in Rap: “To Undermine My Skill Is Comical”

While most artists have learned to sit idle while getting slandered by Internet pundits, Nicki Minaj is never shy about clapping back when her name is mentioned in an unflattering way.

This time, it all started with a question. Blog site Bossip posted the seemingly innocent query on Twitter, "Why aren't there more mainstream female rappers?" While answers flooded in and were RT'd by Bossip, many were dismissive of Minaj, saying her body alone is the reason for her popularity. Well, Meek's boo was tight with the downplay of her skills and took to Twitter to address the haters. "I've gone toe to toe w/everyone of your favorite male MC's. To undermine my skill & diversity as an MC is actually comical @ this point," she tweeted. "If a male rapper was on tracks w/Wayne, Jay, Eminem, Kanye, etc going ROUND 4 ROUND he'd b hailed as a GREAT as well. Jealousy is a disease."

Somehow feeling slighted by Bossip for posting the responses, Minaj continued. "Not giving me my props doesn't stop me from being great. I am a mogul. Your hate is what made this possible. Lol. Thank uuuuuu! Mmuuaahhh!!!"

When will people learn not to come for Nicki. Last month Perez Hilton accused the Young Money First Lady of making fun of a disabled person. Yeah, that didn't turn out well either.
