In the cover story, New York Times Magazine
writer Vanessa Grigoriadis spends time with Nicki
during the always hectic NY Fashion Week. The
story touches on recent pop culture happenings,
including the Nicki Minaj/Miley Cyrus tiff on-
stage at the VMAs as well as the Drake and Meek
Mill beef. However the interview ended up being
cut short when Nicki found a question to be
disrespectful. Check out a few Q&A highlights
below.
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/Meek:
"They’re men, grown-ass men. It’s between
them." How does it make you feel, I ask? "I hate
it. 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."
This leads into the interview's termination, with
Grigoriadis asking,
"Is there a part of you that
thrives on drama, or is it no, just pain and
unpleasantness—"
and Nicki replying,
"That’s
disrespectful. Why would a grown-ass woman
thrive off drama." She continued, "What do the
four men you just named have to do with me
thriving off drama? Why would you even say that?
That’s so peculiar. Four grown-ass men are
having issues between themselves, and you’re
asking me do I thrive off drama." It didn't stop
there, "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? 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."
When she got to the point of saying,
"Do not speak to me like I'm stupid or beneath you in any way," the interview was clearly over.
