“People think they know what it requires. People think they can do it. Everybody wants to walk in your shoes, until you put them in your shoes.”
Minaj, 34, went on to say that it takes courage to have the confidence to make mistakes.
“It takes guts, it takes balls to fail and to make mistakes in the public eye, and to read sh**** comments about yourself every f***ing day and to still have a beautiful f***ing smile on your f***ing face. I love you guys so much for believing in me. I took some time off to rest, and now it’s game time, b*****s.”
Nicki was sure to thank those who have believed in her
The “Super Bass” singer, who is known for wearing some scandalous outfits, took the time to thank Vogue editor Anna Wintour who recognized her style years ago.
“Years ago, my publicist called me and told me that someone wanted me to be their date for New York Fashion Week. Her name was Anna Wintour. I want to say thank you to Anna.”
Nicki Minaj wore her hair with long straight extensions, a sleeveless blazer cinched with an oversized black belt, and lace-up knee-high boots to the awards ceremony.
