Right on the heels of the release of her new single, ‘Starships’, Nicki Minaj’s cover of the February/March edition of VIBE magazine has also been issued. The animated star spoke about an array of topics in the magazine, such as what separates her from other female rappers – she doesn’t always talk about “p*ssy.”
Coincidentally, we discussed Minaj’s point in a previous Hot Topic, which you can read by clicking here! Read excerpts from Minaj’s VIBE interview and see the full cover below:
You’ve said before that you didn’t really have fun recording Pink Friday.
I felt like I had something to prove to everyone who said a female rapper could not make an album unless she was talking about her pussy. And so I went above and beyond to prove that I could not talk about sex and not talk about my genitalia and still have a successful album. And I proved that. And now my time for proving things to my critics is over. I don’t really need to prove anything to anyone else anymore.
Is it still hard to get your way as a woman in this industry?
It’s not hard to get your way when it’s your way or the highway. People either follow suit or they’re not around. I don’t really like the sound of that, ‘cause that sounds like a temper tantrum. I’m just very black and white when it comes to my business. There’s really no gray area. I really don’t have a lot of small talk with people I work with. It’s pretty much let’s get the job done. In the beginning, if people didn’t know me they’d probably assume I wasn’t smart or wasn’t business savvy. But once you sit and talk to me, it’s a different story.
