Nicki Minaj: Lady Gaga Comparison “Irks” Me (VIDEO)

VIDEO

(ABC)

Nicki Minaj does NOT like being compared to Lady Gaga, and it has nothing to do with measuring her talent to the Mother Monster’s.

The “Superbass” singer appeared on “Nightline” on Monday, and told Juju Chang that being likened to Gaga “irks” her.

Minaj explained, ”First of all, I’m a rapper… I’m from Southside Jamaica, Queens. What are the similarities?”

She added, “Gaga is a fantastic artist… She’s opened her own lane, but I feel like I have my own lane, and we never cross… EVER!”

Minaj also talked about her young audience, which includes eight-year-old Sophia Grace, saying, “I don’t want to offend moms or children… BUT, I didn’t come in the game to be an artist that would appeal to kids.”

“I’m a crazy lunatic,” she noted.

She also addressed her infamous nip slip on “Good Morning America,” and discussed growing up with an abusive father.

    She didn’t even have a good argument for how they are NOT similar, they do have a lot of similarities. Including the stupid outrageous costumes, and the head scratching stunts like the pope? Not the wigs, but the whole looking crazy costumes and sounding not quite right in the head.

    This is what I was thinking watching this video.

    Laughable. Minaj has obviously tried to rip off the best of La GaGa and Katy Perry and failed miserably at it. Her music is junk food of the worst kind. She is developing a large pre-school audience because pre-schoolers are attracted by the bright, clashing colors and the simple-minded lyrics. Row, row your boat, anyone? Silly.

    That screen grab you used is just perfect!! Kudos, GC.

    I still don’t get her.

  • Ms Brady

    first of all Madonna is not the queen of pop and Nicki Minajj Yes you do copy Gaga, if Gaga came out first people would say she copied you and you would love it. We are not talking about your style of music; it’s your style in clothes and tacky gimmicks like that awful Grammy performance, it had Gaga written all over it

  • SuzyCreamCheese

    The phrase doesn’t hold a candle comes to mind. What the hell is she thinking???

  • Peaceoutalyssa

    Nicki and Gaga are both amazing talented preformers dont hate on them!!

  • Danny

    Every single female singer gets compared to Gaga and I don’t get it. Gaga isn’t even original in my opinion. She’s not a bad artist, but I don’t see how everyone is ‘copying’ her or being compared to her.

  • Regina1180

    I think GaGa is an original, but I also feel like she’s run out of gimmicks and she’s starting to copy herself.

    Okay just because someone doesn’t think the world of either of them, doesn’t mean they’re hating on them. With that said, I didn’t say anything negative about them at all. I agreed with Sandra’s comment about them being more similar than Nicki thinks.

  • Me

    Sorry but all these people who get accused of copying her it’s laughable. She was hardly the first person to do anything eccentric or odd okay. People would still be doing this stuff even if she wasn’t around because they were doing long before the Fame came out or she hit it big. She’s not that influential no matter what her fans like to think. Also if you think attacking artists this way is making her proud, think again.

    This is from someone who likes both Gaga and Nicki Minaj. Cut it out, all you’re doing is giving the fanbase a really bad reputation.

  • Lindsey

    I agree, i do not see her as original, creative, or innovative to pop music. The odd outfits do not make her creative and original. And her music is meh. Some songs are catchy, but most are just annoying.
