Nicki Minaj praises her stylist: 'I had to thank him during my acceptance speech'

'Starships' rapper Nicki Minaj has admitted that she's so relieved she remembered to thank her stylist, Terence Davidson, during her AMAs acceptance speech because he's always been there for her.

Talking to Ryan Seacrest yesterday (November 19), Minaj explained that he has supported her since the beginning so when she accepted her awards for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album for 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' it was important to honour him:

"It's so sad that I always forget to thank him, and he's been creating my thing... for a few years now and he's also one of my best friends... He's always there rooting me on from the sidelines."

"Ninety per cent of the time I tell him what I wanna do and he creates it... I never even knew that there was somebody out there who would kind of create the things that I saw in my brain until one day, a few years ago, we were on the set of a video and he had rollers in this wig. Half was out and half was still in."

She added, referring to one of her looks: "I was like, 'You know what, I kinda like that! Can you leave one side curly and one side straight and one side blonde and one side pink... I ended up wearing my hair like that."
