Nicki Minaj's diva antics

Nicki Minaj‘s diva antics continued on
full, unapologetic display in the second
episode of her three-part ‘My Truth’
mini-series on E! But while the first
episode didn’t exactly paint the
‘Starships’ singer in the most flattering
light, the second ep shows her better
side. In addition to filming videos and
recording with Lil Wayne, she also gives
her side of the story and her take on
her now infamous feud with Mariah
Carey on the set of ‘American Idol.’
She addresses her battle with Carey to
Mack Maine, president of Young Money.
“I had reached my boiling point, 20
minutes before that happened,” Minaj
said. “She egged me on.” Minaj left the
production to avoid a dustup. When
she came back, there was “another
jab” from Carey and she lost her you-
know-what, and it made national news.
Minaj contends that Carey did not want
another female doing the show and
stealing her shine, and that the diva
nitpicked her, likely because she was
threatened by another strong woman’s
presence. “I don’t do well with that
passive-aggressive s—,” she admits.
While the rapper wonders throughout
the ep if her diva attitude makes her
come off like a b—-, she declares she is
no gangsta.
The rapper was also blindsided by
Carey going to Barbara Walters, and
saying she increased her security detail
due to the rapper’s threats. Her side of
the story is that Carey was attacking
her in passive-aggressive fashion. She
seems to have put the fracas behind
her, espousing her love for the
producers and declaring that she will
keep moving forward and that no one
will run her off the show. End o’ story.
We also watch her interact with
Laurieann Gibson, former creative
director of the Haus of Gaga. Minaj also
lets us see her first rehearsal of new
choreography, and she is hesitant to
slide down a stripper pole. She doesn’t
feel graceful or athletic while doing so,
but she conquers that fear quickly.
We accompany her when she heads to
Miami to record with Lil Wayne. She
calls him her “heart and soul,” who she
would eat for breakfast, lunch and
dinner. Nicki the Diva has become Nicki
the Cannibal!
Minaj’s no-holds-barred personality is
certainly on full display in Episode 2.
She knows what she wants and isn’t
afraid to let people know it. While that
might come off as a bit unsavory to
viewers, we can’t help but respect
Minaj for her attention detail when it
comes to her career.
