Nicki Minaj has been labeled difficult by the media in the past, but this week she dug through an old album cut to reiterate that’s not the case.
Minaj used a few verses from The Pinkprint’s 2014 album All Things Go to make her point during an appearance on X on Wednesday (September 18).
“Let me be clear – I’m not difficult, I’m just doing my thing,” she wrote. “I don’t like fake industry parties and fake agendas. Rocking out with people for how they make me feel, not what they give me.

Earlier in the day, Nicki Minaj revealed that despite paying millions of dollars in taxes over the years, she is still not a U.S. citizen.
The Young Money rapper discussed her nationality while chatting with a fan on TikTok LIVE, and seemed annoyed that the U.S. government has yet to grant her honorary citizenship, considering her huge financial contributions to the country.
“I’m not a U.S. citizen. Isn’t that crazy?” she said, before clarifying that she was still a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, where she was born.
“I was born on a beautiful island called Trinidad and Tobago. But I have been in the United States for many years. You might think that with the millions of dollars in taxes I pay to this country, I Honorary citizenship would have been granted many, many, many thousands of years ago.
Minaj previously sent a strong message about immigrant rights in 2018, opening up about her immigrant background and journey to the United States.
Responding to the issue of migrant children being separated from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border under Donald Trump’s administration, she wrote on Instagram: “I came to this country as an illegal immigrant when I was 5 years old. I can’t imagine being in a strange place. It was such a horror that my parents were taken from me when I was five years old.
“This is too scary for me. Please stop this. Can you imagine the fear and panic these children are feeling right now? Not knowing whether their parents are dead or alive, and whether they will ever see them again…”
The “Super Weird Girls” star has long been proud of her Trinidadian roots, and last year she appeared on fellow Trinidadians Marchelle Montano and De Stella’s “Shake The Place (Remix )”, representing his motherland.
