“I Got Some Indian In Me”: 9 Celebs Who Want You To Know They’re More Than Just Black

- By

Nicki Minaj

This Barbie doll loving rapper turned television star is of Indian and Afro-Trinidadian background and was born outside of Trinidad and Tobago. I didn’t know the Barbie doll look was hot in the islands. I’m not sure it’s even hot in America. It doesn’t matter if it is or if it isn’t though since Nicki can pull off just about anything. Some try to argue that the goal of her look is to disassociate herself from looking black, but I disagree. She goes for shock value and being different comes with the territory if you’re going to last in the industry. Her skills, unique look, and controversial rhymes got her a spot on “American idol,” and a Pepsi endorsement. Go on girl!
