Video After The Jump
If you have seen Nicki Minaj's live perfomances, especially her over the top "exorcism" at The Grammys you know the Young Money star has a flair for the dramatic.
She graduated from LaGuardia High School of Music and Performing Arts in New York City. What she learned there has carried over into her rap career.
"That's just who I am. I was a theater major; I studied theater," Minaj told MTV News. "It's funny because, even with the Grammys, that wasn't the first time I've done theater. Like 'Moment 4 Life,' I did a skit I was pretending to be an old lady, Martha, when I did 'Right Thru Me,' I did a skit. I always try to do that when I have the forum to do it."
A lot of teens have started to try to emulate the Harajuku Barbie by dressing like her. It's something that Minaj is comfortable with.
"I guess I am pop culture just because what I'm doing seems to be popular. When people want to do what you're doing, it's kinda popular," she said. "I don't ask girls to wear pink hair; they just do it. It's not about black or white; I think it's just a statement. It doesn't matter which color you are; it's just a statement of being fearless."
