In an interview with the publication, the nicki spoke on expanding her
brand, working with Beyoncé, empowering women, her thoughts on Iggy
Azalea, her desire to have sex as much as possible, the provocative
"Anaconda" video, and much more.
Read excerpt from the interview below :
On how she would like to spend her free time:
"Have sex."
On staying relevant and new album:
It's corny when rappers feel like they've made it and they don't have
to prove themselves anymore. You should always be competing. You
should always be trying to show that you're the best. My album is
going to be important to hip-hop."
On Beyoncé:
There's something about her work ethic that always made me feel like
no matter how hard stuff gets, I'm not allowed to complain. Some women
give me the feeling that where there's a will, there's a way."
On Iggy Azalea:
When Just this past August, backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards
(VMAs), Azalea complimented Minaj on her performance -- an effort,
perhaps, at making nice after Minaj seemed to take a jab at her at the
BET Awards in June, when, during her acceptance speech for best female
hip-hop artist, Minaj made a pointed reference to how she writes her
own records. Still, when an Azalea song comes over the studio's
stereo, a member of Minaj's team quickly shuts it off.
On being a boss:
I'm on 15 to 25 conference calls every few days strategizing with my
team. I think a lot of artists sit back and have it done for them.
Sometimes as women in the industry--if you're sexy or like doing sexy
things--some people subconsciously negate your brain. They think you're
stupid."
On what she learned from her mother:
My mother always had this attitude that she didn't take no for an
answer. So I guess that carried on to me."
On American Idol:
Thank God I did that show. At least I was able to show my true self,
speak and have a mind."
On "Anaconda":
Everything we see that's labeled as beautiful is very skinny. In the
song I kind of say, 'F**k them skinny girls.' But it's all love. I
consider myself a skinny girl. I went overboard with the video to show
that I'm not going to hide. And those big-booty dancers I have,
they're not going to hide. Black girls should feel sexy, powerful, and
important too."
