Watch Nicki Minaj recite Maya Angelou's Still I Rise like a total boss

Nicki Minaj recited Maya Angelou's iconic 1978 poem Still, I Rise like a total boss. And everyone should watch it.

During a reading of the inspirational author, poet, and civil rights activist's work at the Shining A Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America in Los Angeles the audience let out a rambunctious applause as she spoke the lines:

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I’ve got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?
