Nicki Minaj on Gaga comparisons: "It's getting tired now"

In a new interview with Nightline, rap sensation Nicki Minaj opened up about the frequent comparisons she faces to pop star Lady Gaga and explained that they're nothing alike.

The 'Starships' hitmaker revealed that while the comparisons never infuriate her, she is getting bored with being likened to other singers because she feels as though she has carved out her own path in the industry and has made an effort to stand out:

"First of all, I'm a rapper. I'm from south Jamaica, Queens. What are the similarities?... Wigs? Every female in this game wears wigs. Over-the-top costumes? Ehh. Try again."

"It's getting tired now though, to me. In the beginning I was like, okay, it's cool, hahaha, when they get to know me they'll understand me. Gaga is a fantastic artist. She's paved her way. She's opened her own lane. But I feel like I have my own lane. And we never cross, ever!"
