Nicki Minaj Producing Her Own Sitcom On ABC TV
Nicki Minaj graces the cover of New York Times magazine for their latest issue. In the cover story Nicki discusses Miley Cyrus, Drake vs. Meek Mill beef, Lil’ Wayne andBirdman’s current issues and much more.
On Miley Cyrus:
“The fact that you feel upset about me speaking on something that affects black women makes me feel like you have some big balls. You’re in videos with black men, and you’re bringing out black women on your stages, but you don’t want to know how black women feel about something that’s so important? Come on, you can’t want the good without the bad. If you want to enjoy our culture and our lifestyle, bond with us, dance with us, have fun with us, twerk with us, rap with us, then you should also want to know what affects us, what is bothering us, what we feel is unfair to us. You shouldn’t not want to know that.”
On Drake vs. Meek Mill beef:
“They’re men, grown-a** men. ‘It’s between them.’’ How does it make you feel, I ask? ‘‘I hate it,’’ she said. ‘‘It doesn’t make me feel good. You don’t ever want to choose sides between people you love. It’s ridiculous. I just want it to be over.”
The interview, however didn’t go as planned as Nicki shut down the interview after she found one of the questions “disrespectful”. The interviewer asked Nicki if there was a part of her which thrived off drama and that’s what made Nicki tell her she doesn’t want to do the interview further.
On Birdman vs. Lil Wayne:
“That’s disrespectful,’’ Minaj said, drawing herself up in the chair. ‘‘Why would a grown-a** woman thrive off drama? What do the four men you just named have to do with me thriving off drama?’’ she asked. ‘‘Why would you even say that? That’s so peculiar. Four grown-a** men are having issues between themselves, and you’re asking me do I thrive off drama?
That’s the typical thing that women do. What did you putting me down right there do for you?’’ she asked. ‘‘Women blame women for things that have nothing to do with them. I really want to know why — as a matter of fact, I don’t. Can we move on, do you have anything else to ask?’’ she continued. ‘‘To put down a woman for something that men do, as if they’re children and I’m responsible, has nothing to do with you asking stupid questions, because you know that’s not just a stupid question. That’s a premeditated thing you just did. Do not speak to me like I’m stupid or beneath you in any way’’ and, at last, declared, ‘‘I don’t care to speak to you anymore.”

VMAs: Nicki Minaj ‘Anaconda’ Won Best Hip Hop Video At VMAs, Attack Miley Cyrus {VIDEO}
Nicki Minaj is under fire from some of her native Trinidadian fans for being a bit too Jamaican.
After all Minaj dated a Jamaican guy for 12 years and grew up in Queens where Jamaican culture and music has a heavy presence. The criticisms came following her performance on MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night.
Following her carnival-themed duet with Taylor Swift at the VMAs, several Trinidadian natives took to social media to blast the “Only” rapper for being too heavily influenced by Jamaican music and culture.
“Everybody talking bout true Trini but she sang the song in a Jamaican accent, but some Trini’s are so desperate for a lil recognition it doesn’t matter if she creates a totally false idea of how we speak and act, that’s why the world always think Trinidad is a place in Jamaica, the song reflected Jamaican culture more than anything else, the costume save her otherwise it would have nothing about her that truly reflects Trinidad,” on disgruntled man said.
Minaj is even accused of never collaborated with a Trinidadian artist despite numerous collaborations with reggae and dancehall stars.
“She did songs with Beenie, Mavado, Gyptian but can’t do a song with Machel or Bunji,” he added.
The fan also added that Nicki Minaj doesn’t identify with Trinidad but instead is more of a Jamaican.
Several other Trinidad natives commented on the post agreeing with his statement while others beg to differ.
The “Night Is Still Young” rapper dated Safaree Samuels for over a decade before their split last year. Safaree was born in Brooklyn to Jamaican parents but still maintained his roots over the years.
Do you think Nicki Minaj is more Jamaican than Trinidadian?

Nicki Minaj Talks Taylor Swift 'Twitter Feud' & Performs On Good Morning America (Video)
Nicki Minaj won Best Hip Hop Video for “Anaconda” at Sunday night’s MTV Video Music Awards.
But that was not the only highlight of Nicki Minaj’s night at the VMAs after she publicly trashed host Miley Cyrus who previously bashed her in the media during the Taylor Swift drama.
Miley made some comments about Nicki being not a friendly person during an interview with the NY Times last week.
“What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind,” the pop star said. “It’s not very polite. I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love.”
Seems the “Anaconda” rapper didn’t take those comments so likely and blast Cyrus during her acceptance speech for Best Hip-Hop Video.
“Back to this b**ch that had a lot to say about me in the press Miley whats good,” Nicki said.
In her defense Miley Cyrus said that the interview was manipulated. “We’re all in this industry, we all do interviews, and we all know how they manipulate sh**, Nicki congratulations,” she said.
Nicki Minaj also turned a lot of heads wearing her curve hugging outfit and was named best dressed by several publications including MTV and Entertainment Tonight.
“Lol tonight was such a great time. Love u guys,” she wrote on Instagram.

Taylor Swift has apologised to Nicki Minaj for their Twitter feud.

And the rapper graciously accepted the apology, replying: 'That means so much Taylor, thank you.'
She added: 'I've always loved her. Everyone makes mistakes. She gained so much more respect from me. Let's move on.'
The row all began on Tuesday, when Nicki, 32, tweeted her frustration about the music industry after missing out on a Video Of The Year nomination for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Among her many tweets blasting MTV, she wrote: 'If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.'
Taylor took this to be a dig at her Bad Blood video, which featured several cameo appearances from her famous female friends.

The 25-year-old is nominated in the category alongside Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, and Kendrick Lamar.
Upon reading Nicki's tweet, Taylor replied: 'I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot..'
Nicki claimed that what she was saying 'had nothing to do with Taylor', replying to the pop star directly with the words: 'Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.'
Famous friends: Taylor's Bad Blood video included cameo appearances from several of her celebrity gal pals, including models Gigi Hadid (L) and Martha Hunt
Snubbed: Nicki argues that her Anaconda music video missed out on a nomination because she does not have a 'slim body type', and later added that she feels black women don't get credit for 'contributions to pop culture'

'I've done nothing but love & support you': Taylor responded to the 32-year-old's comment
Nothing to see here: Nicki denied that she was saying anything negative about Taylor
She added to her 19.9million followers: 'I'm so glad u guys get to see how this stuff works. Taylor took her music off spotify and was applauded. We launched Tidal & were dragged.'
Taylor tweeted Nicki again, saying: 'If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on.' She later deleted this post.
On Wednesday, Nicki clarified her argument on Instagram. She wrote: 'Nothing to do with any of the women, but everything to do with a system that doesn't credit black women for their contributions to pop culture as freely/quickly as they reward others.

'We are huge trendsetters, not second class citizens that get thrown crumbs. This isn't anger. This is #information. It's all love to MTV. Kisses to my fans and thank you for my 3 nominations.'
Taylor's apology came shortly after her best pal Ed Sheeran threw his hat into the ring and stuck up for her, as he branded Nicki's comments about race and body image 'redundant'.
'I think everyone knows that Taylor has done nothing wrong in that situation,' he told Australia's Daily Telegraph. 'She didn’t nominate herself for the awards. She just made some good videos and people think they’re good.
'I think the Minaj point is a bit redundant... Her point is that you have to be skinny and white to get a Video of the Year nomination, but Beyoncé’s 7/11 is in there, and that is celebrating the female figure in every form.'
Old friends: Taylor and Ed, seen here performing together in June 2013, have been friends for several years
Head-to-head: Bruno Mars and Ed took to Twitter on Tuesday in a funny response to the showdown

Poking fun: Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul also got involved, offering to mediate over pancakes
When Ed replied, 'Any way we do dis you gon' come up short,' Bruno wrote: 'That Cut deep..U always know how to sheer me to the core. I can't believe we're Sheeran this in public. How dare u!'
Katy Perry, whose feud with Taylor is believed to be the inspiration behind Bad Blood, sunk her claws into the singer when she tweeted on Wednesday: 'Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman...'

NICKI MINAJ Trying To TWERK BEFORE She Got Her BUTT IMPLANTS {VIDEO} CLICK LINK BELOW
Bad blood is brewing between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift in the latest Twittersphere feud.
When Nicki took to Twitter on Tuesday to rant about her VMA snub for Video Of The Year, one particular comment from the rapper appeared to single out 25-year-old Taylor - whose hit Bad Blood scored a nomination in the category.
Among her many tweets blasting MTV, the 32-year-old said: 'If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year'
Bad blood: Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift were embroiled in a Twitter feud on Tuesday after the rapper hinted that the singer's video Bad Blood was nominated for VMA Video Of The Year because of her 'slim body type'
Bad Blood broke video streaming records set by Nicki's Anaconda back in August and was a huge hit, partly due to it featuring numerous cameo appearances from Taylor's celebrity gal pals.
Taylor wasted no time in responding to the Starships hit-maker saying, 'I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.'
However, Nicki was quick to deny that the tweet was aimed at Taylor, responding: 'Huh? U must not be reading my tweets. Didn't say a word about u. I love u just as much. But u should speak on this.'
Taking issue: Among all of Nicki's tweets, Taylor took offense to this one which appeared to single out the singer
Hitting back: Taylor, 25, responded to the rapper pointing out that she doesn't usually compete with other women
Clearly irritated, Nicki followed up with another comment in response to Ryan Seacrest's coverage of their online feud, hitting back: 'Nothing I said had to do with Taylor. So what jabs? White media and their tactics. So sad. That's what they want.'
But the Super Bass rapper made her feelings known by favoriting and retweeting her fans support - some of which clearly pointed the finger at Taylor.
She re-tweeted one Twitter user who said '@Taylorswift stop using "support all girls" as an excuse to not be critical of racist media that benefits and glorifies you'
Taylor attempted to smooth things over by offering to share her moment in the spotlight if she scoops the gong in question: 'If I win, please come up with me!! You're invited to any stage I'm ever on.'
Back-peddling: The Starships hit maker reacted confused suggesting Taylor was misinterpreting her tweets
Defensive: Nicki followed up saying that her words were being taken out of context when angered by Ryan Seacrest's headline
Standing her ground: Nicki was indignant in response to Taylor's tweet
Confident: Nicki explained that her tweets weren't motivated by confidence, it was to do with reward
The hip-hop star took to social media to express outrage at only getting three MTV Video Music Awards nominations in the list announced Tuesday morning.
Nicki had hoped her video for Anaconda or her Beyonce collaboration video for Feeling Myself would have been nominated in the video of the year category.
During her many tweets, Nicki failed to mention however that her pal and co-collaborator Beyonce was nominated alongside Taylor in the category for her 7/11 video.
Girl's girl: The former country music singer tried to smooth things over with the rapper with one final tweet
Beef: Nicki seemed self-assured as she wrote back to the hitmaker on social media
Hit: Taylor's video for Bad Blood - which has been nominated for Video Of The Year at the VMAs - featured cameos from her many celebrity gal pals including Gigi Hadid and Martha Hunt (pictured)
Ignored: Nicki tweeted her outrage that her Anaconda video wasn't nominated for Video Of The Year at the MTV Music Video Awards and how she'd have got more nominations if she was 'a different 'kind' of artist'
Blame game: Nicki slammed the way that Taylor was applauded for her intervention in the music industry while Jay Z's Tidal received little praise
Nicki started her tirade by saying: 'When the "other" girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination.'
She argued that 'if she was a different 'kind' of artist, the Anaconda video featuring scantily-glad girls and clenching buttocks would have received nominations, for choreography and, more importantly, for the awards show's most prestigious gong.
Taylor led the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards nominations with nine nods.
Snubbed: The hip hop star felt she deserved more nominations and took to Twitter to explain why
Popular: The artist argued that with almost half a million views on Vevo and the reactions to it, Anaconda had a huge impact
Seven of those, including Video Of The Year, are for Bad Blood, also a record-breaking video like Anaconda.
Minaj also pointed out that Ellen DeGeneres had spoofed the video full of scantily clad dancers on her TV chat show and that it has been viewed almost half a million times on Vevo.
And she questioned why Feeling Myself, her collaboration with Beyonce, was ignored completely.
Spoofed: The reaction to the release of the Anaconda video was so great that comedienne Ellen DeGeneres poked fun at it on her TV chat show
Fan delight: The hilarious spoof video was given the thumbs up by Minaj herself when she appeared on Ellen
Upset: The 32-year-old rapper seemed to suggest that there was an agenda behind the snub
Although she's won scores of awards, Minaj has never been nominated for VMA's Video Of The Year.
The rapper does, though, have two 'Moonmen,' as the VMA statuettes are called.
In 2011, she won Best Hip-Hop Video for Super Bass and in 2012 she won Best Female Video with Starships.
In addition to her seven nods for Bad Blood, Swift also received two VMA nominations for Blank Space.
British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran earned six nominations for Thinking Out Loud and Don't.
Beyonce and DJ-producer Mark Ronson each scored five nominations.
The VMAs will be handed out during a live televised show from Los Angeles hosted by Miley Cyrus on August 30.
Fan base: Minaj, seen here performing at the 204 MTV VMAs, is renowned for her sexy dance moves and skimpy on-stage attire

who ever says she fake , you aint never lie sick of this shedevil and her stupidness. im so sick of her its sickning
And no one is saying Jamaica is bad only simply a Trinidad wrote is performing a song as an ode to Trinidadians should be TRINIDADIAN!
it's true she sucks at it
I'm confused, granted I am neither Jamaican nor Trini, but both cultures are great. Why is there animosity? See we are too damn divided as a people and we need to wake up and learn who we truly are as a nation.
