Nicki Minaj: "Why Do People Ask Me to Lose Swear Words?"

After returning to Twitter and explaining several times her reasons for initially leaving, rap star Nicki Minaj now has a new issue to discuss: the lyrical content of her music. She recently spoke on her rap receiving a certain type of response due to the rather harsh lyrics, questioning why no other artists have been asked to tone it down, so to speak.

"If you asked any adult, 'Would you like your children knowing every part of your life and speaking exactly the way you speak when you talk to adults?' they'd say no, so I'm a firm believer in children remaining children. Why do people ask me to lose swear words? Do people ask Eminem to lose swear words? Do they ask Lil Wayne to lose swear words? Nobody stops them and says 'Would you stop swearing... for the children, please?'"

This isn't the first time the Young Money artist has addressed this topic, as a similar situation came about when fellow female rapper Lil Mama expressed her opinion of Nicki's lyrical content.

"Nicki Minaj is a talented rapper. She's out there, she's doing her. What she represents, I don't represent and she's doing something different, that's her lane. As the voice of the young people, Lil Mama, I focus on bringing up young girls to respect their bodies, respect theyself, do it up."

Nicki seems to be standing by her decision and refuses to change her style of lyricism.

Profanity is only 1oo Yrz old. The bible is 2ooo Yrz old. So who decided the list of words, That were cuss or curse words. Because the only word that curses you is Sayton. Think about! If Jesus name blesses you. Then sayton's name curses you. The list of profane words today, only reminds us that something shouldn't be said or spoke into exisitence. Mainly the devel. If your god wants to destroy that word, Then so should you!!!

This chick is poison, a devil, look at her, look how she dresses the colors she wears. She's targeting our lil girls trying to poison them with adult lyrics and subject matter. Lil Kim, eve, Remy ma, they kick the same kinda raunchy adult themed raps, they didn't walk around looking like they bout to go on yo gabba gabba. She won't get my girls, not while I'm alive...

They tell her to stop cursing because she is a POP star not hip hop

I think she would make a lot more money without cursing and be more of a household name also if she dropped the Minaj and call herself Nicki M. those white girl's call themselves Becky M. Julie B. Etc....I still love her though.

No not at all but that is where the money is at and she will have longevity.
