Nicki Minaj Wants to Build Her Own Rap Empire

The Anaconda singer says women are not taken seriously in the Rap world

Los Angeles:

Rapper Nicki Minaj admits it is hard to create an "empire" in the rap industry dominated by males.

The Super Bass singer said woman rappers are generally assigned an inferior rank, reported E!Online.

"At first, no one took me seriously. In the world of rap, women are usually relegated to the choir," she said.

"I want to build my empire. In my field, I have always seen men do it- from (Sean P) Diddy to Dr Dre and Jay Z. Now it's a woman's turn," she added.

Nicki, 31, also expressed her desire to start a family soon.

"I don't want to work my whole life without ever experiencing the joys of a family. I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child," she added.
