Nicki Minaj Gets Complex

You have to give respect when it’s due. Complex has been on a roll recently. Their cover story with KiD CuDi was the talk of the weekend and they follow up with current Hip-Hop covergirl (pun intended) Nicki Minaj for their October/November issue. Toshitaka Kondo sat down with one of the game’s most talked about artists about a list of pertinent topics including her friendship with Drake, being celibate, not responding to beef and using “pause” and “no homo.”

Speaking of Young Money, did your labelmate Drake tell you he’d be mentioning wanting to marry you on his verse for “Miss Me” before you heard it?

Nicki Minaj: He told me he said something about me on a verse, but I didn’t think it would be anything like that. He let me hear it for the first time when we did Jay’s show at Madison Square Garden, the day before Wayne had to go to jail—that night he let me hear it on the headphones. But you know what else he told me he wrote for me? The Alicia Keys song “I’m Ready.” I happen to love the song. I never told anyone that, I hope he won’t get mad that I said that.

Then you have Wayne calling you his future wife.

Nicki Minaj: [Laughs.]

You’re gonna have Drake and Wayne fighting over you.

Nicki Minaj: You have no idea how much I love them. We joke around. That’s the thing about Young Money, we will say a lot of crazy shit in the press but we will get around each other and start cracking up laughing like brothers and sisters. Drake is a playboy. He probably told mad bitches he wrote them songs for ’em.

Do the guys in Young Money ask you for dating advice?

Nicki Minaj: They always ask me to hook them up with something!

Drake asks you to hook him up with chicks?

Nicki Minaj: Well, no, Drake knows better. [Laughs.] Drake tries to be the suave dude and not seem pressed, but Wayne will straight-up ask: “Nick, you got something for me?”

An interesting interview to say the least. One of most perplexing revelations is what she had to say – or not say – about Diddy and management. To see what I’m talking about, head over to Complex now.

    i love this chick to death…she came in turned the minds of the game around and has not backed down form a challenge yet… but im a little afraif that she is letting hollywood get to her.. theres nothing wrong with altering your music when you hit hollywood status but is she really being tru to herself. I mea the accent is alittle bit much..but hands down nicki is the baddest in the game.
