Nicki Minaj Makes A Bid To Save The World

/

During last night’s Bid To Save the Earth at Christie’s Auction House in New York City, Nicki Minaj took a break off her ‘I Am Music II’ world tour with Lil’ Wayne to lend her voice for a good cause. The auction focused on raising money and bring awareness toward the preservation of the earth. Before her performance the singer spoke with Vogue.com about her interest in the cause and her fashion influences.

What are you wearing tonight? Is it one of your favorite designers?
Yes, it is—it’s Alexander Wang. It’s all black, of course, and I knew I needed to get my green on, so that’s how I came up with the green-and-white hair. I have a lot of designers I like right now; I really like Donatella Versace. She sent me a few beautiful things recently to consider wearing to the Grammys and, even though I ended up wearing Givenchy,  I believe in supporting women. I’m all about the girl power.

Why did you decide to get involved in Bid to Save the Earth?
I know that a lot of my fans are young and I know I have the power to influence and inspire them by my own actions. I thought that if I got involved in a cause that I felt was important, then maybe they would take the time to research it and find ways they could get involved and make a difference. It’s good to shine a positive light.
