Nicki Minaj Talks Using Smarts, Beyoncé and Sex in Her Spare Time

Nicki Minaj may have the rap skills, beauty and the crossover appeal, but don’t get twisted. She’s not stupid.
In fact, it may be safe to think of the Young Money entertainer as smart beyond her obvious assets.
In an interview with Billboard, Minaj disputes the notion that she doesn’t do anything except look good. For her, it’s more about separating herself from the competition with the other B:  her brain.
“People don’t know how heavily involved I am in my own career,” Minaj told Bilboard. “I’m on 15 to 25 conference calls every few days strategizing with my team.
