What Nikki says here is the same thing that Carol Kaye is talking about... She said that playing the bass always was considered to be something (very) male... she is one of the most successful bass players ever and she said "If you hear someone with balls... that's me!" What a musician!
I heard her in one of ther other interviews that she had seen Dennis Chambers drink water and play at the same time, Hats off to her that she achieved her goal, if you ever get to see him do it, it's so dope
I'm curious to know why you were booed in Nigeria. Great musicianship should be revered and appreciated no matter what race, gender, creed or religion of the musician.

I played in my high school jazz band with this chick. HEY NIKKI ! IF YOU SEE THIS, ITS THE POTHEAD GUITARIST THAT WAS ALWAYS LATE TO EVERYTHING ! I NEEDED YOU BEHIND THE KIT AT ALL TIMES ! THAT MIKE GUY WAS TERRIBLE ! MR. SCOTT ACTUALLY TOLD ME YOU GOT PICKED UP BY BEYONCE WHEN I WENT TO VISIT HIM YEARS LATER !
I was in band with Nikki in high school. She's always been a fantastic musician and a wonderful human being. So happy to see this!
Finding your lane at a young age is one of the greatest blessings you could ever have.

I'm curious as a musician why Beyonce had a 2 drummer band. It's a fascinating concept.

If Beyonce performed in Ghana, we wouldn't have booed.
Queen B? Boo? Ei!

Nigerians just don't care about things like that. Man or woman, just be great.
