Here’s are some highlights from her interview:

On Social Media: “Social media was just beginning when I started so I was a lot of people’s guinea pig,” she told Budden. “I was one of the first people to be shitted on on the internet, on social media like non-fucking stop. Every day I would go on and there was some new story, made-up story, or bad picture.”

On getting butt shots: “It wasn’t acceptable to have surgery at all or anything. At that time, I had never had surgery. I had ass shots. I was in Atlanta at the time and… I kept on being around [Lil] Wayne and them. At that time Wayne, he talking about big booties. Wayne would have a new chick in the studio every session so it was always a new big booty there. They were his muses. But I just was around them all the time and I was like the little sister with Wayne and Mack [Maine]. … All I would hear them talking about is big butts and I didn’t feel complete or good enough—good as those girls because I’m like, ‘Oh my god, this is what you’re supposed to look like in the rap culture,’ and I don’t look like that.”

On her decision to have pink hair: “They think, ‘This is what I have to look like’. I remember I would never see any female rapper wearing pink hair. Pink hair became a part of that starter kit. Every female rapper will put on a pink wig at some point, and I remember that was just the Nicki Minaj thing. That’s why when I said, ‘Pink wig thick ass,’ that’s an iconic Nicki Minaj line because that’s what she wears. Now it’s everybody: pink wig, thick ass, right?”

On not having an American ‘Vogue’ cover yet: “You would think that right now hip-hop is the biggest, most influential genre in the world, you would think that the biggest female rapper of all time, who has set so many trends, would have been on the cover of American Vogue, but she hasn’t…when Billie Eilish comes out and sets a trend with her green hair, she’s immediately put on American Vogue. But when a Black female rapper who has been setting the trend for 10 years does it, no one says anything. A big part of the reason why we’re not represented is because—what I think we’re doing now, I think we’re all speaking up for each other. So I think now, we’ve all made it so, ‘No, people have to pay attention to what they’re doing, how they’re treating Black artists and Black people, and there has to be representation.”

On her upcoming documentary, management company and more: She played coy about the details of her documentary, saying that “when it’s ready I’ll let you know.”

Nicki did add that she’s in the running for an upcoming film role. “I am working with a director working on a movie. It’s a bigger role than I’ve ever taken on.”

“I am creating my own management company,” she went on. “I’m also doing my record company. I have a couple of artists that I will start the record company with. I’ll speak on that closer to album time.”
