Nicki Minaj Covers #5 Magazine & Speaks On Jay-Z Being One Of Her Favorite Rapper Of All-Time
Platinum selling female rapper Nicki Minaj is covering issue 7 of #5 magazine. In the cover story, she talked about Jay-Z being one of her favorite rappers of all time, how can a man get her heart and her label mate Drake. Below are some excerpts:
Who is one of your favorite rappers of all-time?
Jay-Z. It was like whatever Jay-Z says is the gossip because he was smart. I was raised attracted to intelligent rappers. Like if you can make me thinkâŚthatâs why Iâm so into metaphors. I love double meanings of things. Just having people look at things in a different way because all my favorite rappers [Lilâ Wayne] thatâs what they do, thatâs what intrigued me.
How can a man get to your heart?
If he can make me laughâŚ..he has to be smart. I love sarcasm in people; I love when youâre able to pick up on sarcasm and when youâre able to dish it out. I love quick comebacks.
Your label mate Drake sounds like he fits the bill for that.
But thatâs why Drake and I are friends because he does fit that to a certain extent. Heâs really easy to talk to. As a girl, you donât meet a lot of guys you can have a conversation with about anything. Itâs dope.
On why she loves talking in a British accent
Itâs so beautiful. It seems like itâs out of a story book or something. Whenever I was school and we had to act out plays and stuffâŚwhenever we would have to wear the big gowns and corsets, we would have to put the London/British accent on. I would always be like, âtheir culture is so pretty. Itâs like whimsical.â
