Nicki Minaj models her English accent on Mel B’s voice

November 2nd, 2012

Does Nicki Minaj’s English accent sound familiar to you? Well it might be because the rapper models her spot-on accent after a certain Spice Girl.

The Starships singer – whose alter-ego Roman Zolanski speaks/raps in a British accent on her records – taught herself to speak with an accent by copying her Spice Girls idol’s accent when she was a child.

Nicki confessed: “There are so many [I copied], but one person was Scary Spice. I used to listen to her all the time and try to make the same faces she’d make when she was talking. Oh, and Hermione from ‘Harry Potter’!”
