Nicki Minaj caught wind recently of some critics who seem to think her only claim to fame is her booty. She is insistent that her talent is more than just skin–or derriere–deep.

Following a Twitter conversation about a lack of female rappers, Nicki Minaj had plenty to say.
“Yep, men are visual creatures they don’t care if you can sing…That’s why Nicki had to buy an a– to blow up! #Fact,” the Twitter diss that set the proverbial ball in motion read.
I've gone toe to toe w/everyone of your favorite male MC's. To undermine my skill & diversity as an MC is actually comical @ this point. ???

I saw Bossip retweeting ignorance so I figured I'd put that out there. Lol. The greats give me my respect. The great journalists as well.

If a male rapper was on tracks w/Wayne, Jay, Eminem, Kanye, etc going ROUND 4 ROUND he'd b hailed as a GREAT as well. Jealousy is a disease

Nicki Minaj then informed the haters that their hate made her success possible.
Not giving me my props doesn't stop me from being great. I am a mogul. Your hate is what made this possible. Lol. Thank uuuuuu! Mmuuaahhh!!!

She then instructed black people to “do better” regarding the implication of the insulting Tweet.
To imply someone's ass is the reason they get on tracks and hold their own with every great MC who is still alive ? black ppl, do better lol

Success keeps coming Nicki Minaj’s way–because of her talent, and not her booty. She earned three Grammy Award nominations this week.
Those Grammy nods definitely weren’t for Nicki Minaj’s booty, either.
