In an interview with The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, rapper Nicki Minaj discussed working with Beyonce on the remix of the track ‘Flawless’, fellow rapper, Remy Ma’s release from prison and the reactions to her super racy ‘Anaconda’ artwork.
On rapper Remy Ma’s release
‘I just think she was such a dope emcee while she was here. And she was definitely one of the females I looked up to at that time. More power to her.’
On working with her idol Beyonce
‘She is the queen! I was honoured to work with her. She’s somebody I’ve looked up to my entire career. If anybody that knows anything about me knows that I’ve been literally probably shouting Beyonce out in every interview since my mixtape days just ‘cause she’s so driven and I love her drive. I love what she means for women. She’s an inspiration to women who wanna get out there and bust their ass and work hard. This has definitely been a life-changing experience for me. Shout out to B.’
On the numerous ‘Anaconda’ cover memes
‘They been crossing the line. They been doing the craziest stuff. I done seen Princess Jasmine, Kermit the Frog, Peter Griffin. Everybody you could think of in that pose.’
On the inspiration behind the title ‘Anaconda’
‘Well, it was always one of my favorite lines from the song. So when I was in the studio with the producer I was like, ‘You know what, I wanna sample the anaconda part of the Sir Mix-a-Lot song.’ Originally the song was gonna be called ‘Big Fat Ass.’ At that last minute I changed it.’
