In an interview with Vibe Minaj discussed her sexual image stating, “[w]hen I grew up I saw females doing certain things, and I thought I had to do that exactly. The female rappers of my day spoke about sex a lot… and I thought that to have the success they got, I would have to represent the same thing. When in fact I didn’t have to represent the same thing.”[24] In an interview with Interview, Minaj commented on her sexual image again stating, “I made a conscious decision to try to tone down the sexiness, I want people—especially young girls—to know that in life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You’ve got to have something else to go with that.”[25]
Alter egos
While growing up Nicki was surrounded by constant trouble and fighting between her parents.[26] To escape her real life problems she would create characters and live her life through them.[26] In an interview with New York she stated, “[t]o get away from all their fighting, I would imagine being a new person. “Cookie” was my first identity—that stayed with me for a while. I went on to “Harajuku Barbie”, then “Nicki Minaj”. Fantasy was my reality.”[26]
For her debut album, Minaj created another alter-ego named “Roman Zolanski”.[27] She stated that in songs like “Bottoms Up” with Trey Songz it is not Nicki rapping, but instead Roman Zolanski, and claims that Roman is her “twin sister”. Roman has been compared to Eminem‘s alter ego Slim Shady, and on the song “Roman’s Revenge” from Pink Friday, Minaj and Eminem collaborate, using these alter egos.[28] In songs such as “All I Do Is Win (Remix)” it is Nicki rapping.[27] Minaj stated that on her debut album, fans will get to “meet” Nicki, Roman and Onika.[27]
On November 18, 2010 Nicki Minaj assumed a different alter-ego named “Nicki Teresa”.[29] Wearing a colorful scarf around her head, she went around as the “healer to her fans” as she visited them at The Garden of Dreams Foundation at Fuse studios in New York City.[30]
Influences
Minaj has stated that artists who have influenced her musical style include Lil Wayne, Lauryn Hill, Jadakiss, Natasha Bedingfield, Foxy Brown, Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott.[31][32]

Personal life
While some songs and interviews have implied that Minaj is bisexual,[33][34] she has said that she does not date nor have sex with women,[35] but added in an interview with Out magazine, “I don’t date men either”.[36] In an interview with Vibe she commented, “I just embrace all people of all lifestyles and I don’t tell them they are bad people. And I say girls are beautiful and girls are sexy and they need to be told that, and if they don’t have anyone to tell them that and mean it, I’m gonna tell them that. But I feel like people always wanna define me and I don’t wanna be defined.”[37] She reiterated her dislike of being labeled in an interview with OUT, saying: “The point is, everyone is not black and white. There are so many shades in the middle, and you’ve got to let people feel comfortable with saying what they want to say when they want to say it.”[36]
During an interview in the May 2010 issue of Details, Minaj was asked if she felt hip-hop was becoming more gay friendly. She responded, “I think the world is getting more gay-friendly, so hip-hop is too. But it’s harder to imagine an openly gay male rapper being embraced, people view gay men as having no street credibility. But I think we’ll see one in my lifetime.”[34]
