Nicki Minaj: I'm Taking Control of Hip-Hop!

Nicki Minaj rocks a red coat while greeting fans on the street on Monday (January 24) in Paris, France.

The same day, the 26-year-old rapper continued her promo tour and dropped by French talk show Le Grand Journal.

“Inside I feel like a tiger, but on the outside, I look more like a little pussycat,” she said.

“But I think that hip-hop needed a girl right now to take control, so I’ve just been doing it both, being as bad as the boys and a pretty girl at the same time,” she added.
