Bossed Up
"My lawyer gives the same speech to everyone who wants to do business with me now," Minaj says with a laugh. "'Nicki is not one of those artists who allow her represnetatives to make decisions for her.' I'm on conference calls all day with lawyers, accountants, and executives -- people of power -- and they treat me with respect. Because I command respect. I'm not cocky, but I deserve to know what's going on. It's my brand and my life.
That's my advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Don't allow anyone to run anything for you without your knowledge. You want everyone to know, 'Okay, I can't play games with her. I have to do right by this woman.' That's what it's all about."
