Nicki Minaj insists she is not just beauty without brains.

As a result of her raunchy style and performances, many people consider Nicki Minaj a beauty without brains. However the diva has revealed that she is indeed a combination of beauty, talent and brains. 

Nicki covers the Billbord November 2014 issue and she said to the magazine:

“I’m on 15 to 25 conference calls every few days strategizing with my team. I think a lot of artists sit back and have it done for them. Sometimes as women in the industry — if you’re sexy or like doing sexy things — some people subconsciously negate your brain. They think you’re stupid.” 

She added: “Once I did American Idol, a lot of people would come up to me and say, ‘Oh, you’re smarter than I thought.’ What does that mean?!”
