Anyone who has any presence on social media platforms probably knows the persona that the media loves to paint for Nicki Minaj. But if you are a hardcore Barbz, you probably know how motherly the queen actually is. If this is all news to you, I am here to provide you with 11 of her quotes that prove that there is more to her than her butt, which the media just loves to focus on.

1. "My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want -- and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge."

2. "I want people -- especially young girls -- to know that in life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You've got to have something else to go with that."

3. "But, by just being myself, I end up touching a lot more people who might never have paid much attention to a female rapper."

4. "You should never feel afraid to become a piece of art. It's exhilarating."

5. "I want to show little girls that the possibilities are endless. That's my goal -- to not only do it for myself, but to show them I can do whatever I put my mind to."

6. "I vowed that I'd never allow any man to control me or to be an alcoholic or anything like that around me, because I don't want my children seeing that."

7. "Music is beautiful, but I want you to stay in school. Put your books first and singing second."

8. "I'm tired of hiding my motherf**king cellulite!"

9. "I love women who take control, who set standards and who believe in themselves enough to lead the way in terms of their career. I've done that. When I win and when I lose, I take ownership of it because I really am in charge of what I do."

10. "I think of myself as a woman who wants other women to be bosses and to be strong and to be go-getters."

And in my opinion, the most inspirational of them all --

11. "Miley, what's good?"
