Nicki Minaj is fast gaining a reputation for being a bit of a copycat. So far, the femcee has run in to trouble and been accused of ripping off the likes of Lil Kim, Lady Gaga and now Lil Mama. The rapper and host of America’s Best Dance Crew suggests that Nicki Minaj isn’t as original as she claims to be and in fact, copied her bleach blonde hairstyle.
It’s all good though apparently: “Nicki Minaj started wearing that bob on her head after she came to my show. She was a guest on America’s Best Dance Crew and immediately afterwards, everywhere she went, she was wearing the haircut, the same exact way. At the end of the day I know what I do and I know what I possess and I know who I am. I’m a trendsetter. The biggest form of flattery is imitation so I’m flattered. I started so many things that new artists are doing now anyway –there are so many things that were borrowed, that I influenced that’s happening in music right, so I’m far from discouraged.”
Wow. You’ve got to love Lil Mama’s confidence.
