When you’re an A list celebrity like Nicki Minaj you have the eyes of the world on you. And that big group of eyes that helps you get paid often includes impressionable young girls.

Well, Nicki Minaj has all eyes on her again after her Paper Magazine cover broke the internet. The cover featured Nicki Minaj having a threesome with herself.

While many were shocked, rapper Eve used her new platform on “The Talk” to make her opinion known. In the clip of the show she sais “I think in this climate, it’s not good.” “I think every artist has a right to express themselves however they want to express themselves, and I respect that as well.”

“For me, personally, as I started coming up in the business, I started realizing that young girls were looking up to me and younger people were looking up to me,” she added. “Not that you want to be a role model, but it becomes what you become. It is what you are.”

Watch the full clip below.

Most of us remember Eve as a popular rapper from the 2000’s. Some of her hits included Let Me Blow Ya Mind, Satisfaction, and Who’s That Girl. Since then she has gotten married and grown up, a lot. Her speaking about responsibility the way she did. And hearing it come from another female rapper.

All we have to say is, well put Eve. We love Nicki too, but you are absolutely right.
