Ncki Minaj covers the front page of the latest New York Times magazine. During her interview she talked about how her dad abused her and her mom, addressed the beef between Drake and Meek Mill, her beef with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Read it after the cut...
"The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls. You're in videos with black men, and you're bringing out black women on your stages, but you don't want to know how black women feel about something that's so important? Come on, you can't want the good without the bad. If you want to enjoy our culture and our lifestyle, bond with us, dance with us, have fun with us, twerk with us, rap with us, then you should also want to know what affects us, what is bothering us, what we feel is unfair to us. You shouldn't not want to know that."
On Drake/Meek:
"They're men, grown-ass men. It's between them." How does it make you feel, I ask? "I hate it. It doesn't make me feel good. You don't ever want to choose sides between people you love. It's ridiculous. I just want it to be over."
This leads into the interview's termination, with Grigoriadis asking, "Is there a part of you that thrives on drama, or is it no, just pain and unpleasantness--" and Nicki replying, "That's disrespectful. Why would a grown-ass woman thrive off drama." She continued, "What do the four men you just named have to do with me thriving off drama? Why would you even say that? That's so peculiar. Four grown-ass men are having issues between themselves, and you're asking me do I thrive off drama." It didn't stop there, "Women blame women for things that have nothing to do with them. I really want to know why -- as a matter of fact, I don't. Can we move on, do you have anything else to ask? To put down a woman for something that men do, as if they're children and I'm responsible, has nothing to do with you asking stupid questions, because you know that's not just a stupid question."
That's a premeditated thing you just did.''
She called the interviewer ''rude'' and ''a troublemaker,'' and said ''Do not speak to me like I'm stupid or beneath you in any way'' and, at last, declared, ''I don't care to speak to you anymore.''
On her abusive father
"I would always hear him yelling and cursing, always. And it made me feel it was the way to interact, because that's how I saw him interacting. When I was younger, I thought that the only reason my mother didn't leave my father was for financial reasons. From early on in my life, I looked at a woman not having her money as the biggest curse. Now that I'm an adult, I realize that women stay whether a man's rich or poor. It's just a weakness."
On people getting plastic surgery:
People are posting pictures of working out, and then there's a change in their body and they say it's because they were working out! Ah-hahahaha. Back in the day, in hip-hop, the thick girl was glorified. Now the rappers are dating skinny white women. So it's almost like, 'Wait a minute, who's going to tell the thick black girls that they're sexy and fly, too?'
