Nicki Minaj isn't ready for kids.

The 29-year-old rapper is currently in a stormy relationship with Safaree Samuels but insists the pair are not ready to have a baby, though she admits she was ''moved'' by how well Madonna deal with combining raising four children with her career.

She said: ''[Madonna made me realise that] having kids can be done because I saw her kids coming to rehearsals and that really moved me. But no kids any time soon. No, no, no.''

Instead of raising kids, Nicki is happy to ''represent an entire generation''.

She explained: ''I represent an entire generation and I'm not going to allow myself to be defined. So the fans do get the crazy stuff but they also get the uplifting things and they start realising that I'm a multifaceted artist. ''

Nicki is too focused on her career to contemplate motherhood and says comparisons to Lady GaGa don't bother her.

She explained: ''She's a fantastic artist. She's paved the way and opened her own lane but I have my own too. And we never cross, ever.''
