With the release of the highly anticipated album The Pinkprint, Nicki Minaj paid a visit to DJ Whoo Kid in promotion of her full-length effort. During the conversation she also addressed the recent beef between Lil Wayne and Cash Money, and revealed that it is all love between Weezy and Birdman! As expected, the conversation began with a question aimed at the connection between Jay Z and The Pinkprint. Explaining Jigga is one of her biggest inspirations in the music industry, Nicki Minaj gave more details regarding the creating process of the LP.
“Lyrically he always tries to prove that he’s the best,” she continued. “I just respect people like that. When I met him—well, I’d already met him, but when I saw him this last time, he told me how much he fucked with ‘Chi-Raq’ and ‘Lookin Ass Nigga.’ That’s crazy. The nigga who’s opinion I trust more than just about anyone, is telling me. That’s why it’s so upsetting to me when people don’t give me my credit. When I got the biggest nigga in rap saying, ‘Yo, “Chi-Raq,” “Lookin Ass Nigga.”‘ And then I have people that don’t say what Nicki Minaj has done for Hip Hop culture in 2014. Like, c’mon. You’re not gonna not remember ‘Lookin Ass’ and ‘Chi-Raq’ and ‘Danny Glover’ and ‘Boss Ass Bitch’ and ‘No Flex Zone.’ I do that and still put out ‘Anaconda’ and go double platinum. So it’s like, I don’t want Hip Hop to not see what I’m doing. People are either doing one or the other. It’s very few people that can do both.”
Midway throughout the interview, the YMCMB star addressed the alleged feud between Lil Wayne and Birdman. The gorgeous singer explained that they are all one big happy family and as always will “resolve anything needs to be resolved.” She also put in words that they are at the top of the game and it’s normal everyone to aim at them.
“They gon’ aim at us. We good. Love conquers all. I do know that, no matter what, we’re a family. We’re not always the best of friends and chummy chummy, but we’re a family and we love each other underneath it all. I know that Wayne and Baby love each other. And I know they’re going to resolve anything that needs to be resolved. I am Young Money. I’m’ Young Money. I ride with Wayne on whatever. That’s just how I am. But Baby has played such a huge role in my mental stability. I don’t know if people know, Baby will call you and text you all day, just making you feel good. Making you feel inspired. One time he called me like, ‘Yo Barbie,’ he’s like one of the only people who still calls me Barbie by the way, he’s like, ‘Yo Barbie, I’m seeing your posters all around, you doing your thing Barbie. I respect that.’ This is Baby on my phone telling me he respects my business move.”
