Nicki Minaj talks (or not) about Gaga influence in The New York Times

[Gianni Versace 2,987]

I just wish everyone who was obviously inspired by Gaga would just admit it the way Gaga does. There's nothing wrong with being 'oh, I like that and I would love to do something similar.' 

I'm really not trying to shade anyone, but I think all the pop ladies and industry heads should give credit where it is due.

this picture is SO embarassing and innacurrate

 

for one, Rih was doing the dark, high fashion look WAY BEFORE TFM was even released.

and, in addition, Disturbia came out before Bad Romance and Rated R came out before The Fame Monster.

i agree with her tbh. why are they even talking about that? its obvious that she has moved on from both the voices and the costumes.

I agree tbh. It only applies to Nicki, Katy and maybe Kesha

Gaga hadn't even made the switch from NY shoulder pad futuristic to goth stripper high fashion in 2008:

but Rihanna was already rocking it in 2008:

I agree. RIhanna has always been original which I respect her for but nicki and katy have always lacked in that department.

To be fair, almost every female popstar who has gone through 2011-present has had their 'Gaga phase'. Call me delusional or whatever, Gaga changed the game ever since she pierced into the industry. Anyone who follows pop culture and the music industry religiously can validate this.

there were always women in music who dressed outta the ordinary. Gaga is just the one to do it in our generation. 

Nicki was Lil Kim and Lady Gaga put together. She's trying to make it seem like she's original

I think every pop girl in 2009-2011 was some what influenced by Gaga. I do remember Nicki having crazy costumes also around that time and remember Anna Wintour saying something her outfits (look it up )

 

I think Nickis look is 10000000x better right now. I love her in that black wig with the bangs. And her fitted gowns are so damn s-xy. I understand her not wanting to address her fashions from 5 years ago, but I'm sure there's no denying that her along with other pop stars changed their game when Gaga came along 

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

I would be annoyed too but why even ask...everyone knows she is inspired by Gaga and Gaga paved the way recently for crazy fashion to be mainstream again...

 

Now it seems people again are toning down since Gaga has toned down

It's only inaccurate for Rihanna. She's the only one who stayed original after Gaga came around.
