  • Nicki Minaj Demands Equality in Bed and in Business

    Nicki Minaj Demands Equality in Bed and in Business

    Nicki Minaj said in “All Things Go,” from her album The Pinkprint:

    “Life is a movie
    There’ll never be a sequel
    And I’m good with that
    As long as seven years from now I’m takin’ my daughter to preschool”

    Nicki Minaj is talking about having kids again in an interview she did to accompany her Cosmo cover shoot for June.

    “Ten years from now, I will have two children, unless my husband wants three. I will be into my fitness a lot more, I will stop yo-yo dieting, and I’ll be a housewife with careers that I can run from home. I want to be able to cook for my children, bake cookies for them, and watch them grow up. I just want to be Mommy. Take them to school, go to the parent-teacher conference, help them with their homework, and put their work on the refrigerator.”

    The husband Nicki Minaj refers to is her now-finacé Meek Mill.

    Speaking of her relationship with Meek Mill, Nicki Minaj reveals that she has some specific demands when it comes to her intimate relations with Meek.

    “I demand that I climax. I think women should demand that. I have a friend who’s never had an orgasm in her life. In her life! That hurts my heart. It’s cuckoo to me. We always have orgasm interventions where we, like, show her how to do stuff. We’ll straddle each other, saying, ‘You gotta get on him like that and do it like this.’ She says she’s a pleaser. I’m a pleaser, but it’s fifty-fifty.”

    When it comes to equality, Nicki Minaj also insists on that when it comes to pay. She says she researches to see what others make to be sure she is not getting short-changed in business deals.

    “Women are uncomfortable talking about money. I know it’s taboo to discuss it at work. Technically, you shouldn’t, but you need to know what people around you are making. Otherwise, you’re not going to know what you’re worth. You have to ask questions. ‘What is this person getting?’ Do your research. I’ve always been pretty competitive in terms of my pay.”

  • Nicki Minaj Talks Foray into Film World in ‘The Other Woman’

    Nicki Minaj has made her foray into the film world by playing a small role in the recent premiere The Other Woman. Starring alongside Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, and Leslie Mann, Minaj was solicited for the role while she was in the throes of her judging gig on American Idol. Director Nick Cassavetes noticed her on the singing competition show and called her in for an interview.

    “I wanted to do a movie, but I wasn’t actively pursuing a role,” Minaj recalled in a telephone interview this week. “This came out of nowhere. I didn’t even have an hour for myself, and I didn’t know if I was gonna be able to do it.”

    Even though she only had to be on the movie set in New York City for a week in order to complete her role, Nicki Minaj barely got there on time. In just the 24 hours prior to her arrival she finished filming American Idol, performed live at the Billboard Music Awards and then hopped a red-eye for her flight from Los Angeles to New York.

    Performing in a film was a far cry from what Nicki had experienced performing in music videos.

    “On a video,” she said, “I have all the control over what’s happening. I know in advance how it’s gonna go. But on a movie, they’ll tell you you’re shooting at noon and you might not start until 5 p.m. It’s a lot of waiting.”

    Minaj prepared for her role ahead of time by exchanging a series of text messages with Alex Cassavetes. Cameron Diaz was very supportive of her while on set, too. In fact, she told Nicki that she made her role more likable on screen than it appeared in the script.

    Nicki shared an Instagram photo of herself this past week thanking fans for making The Other Woman the number one film at the box office.

    Back to work now on The PinkPrint–her third album–Nicki Minaj hopes her first foray into the film world won’t be her last.

    “The movie thing — I definitely want to work at it more,” she said. “I want to work on a character for my next role and take time out of my schedule to work on it — like sit there for a month and create someone. So yes, I want to do movies again. But am I gonna go tomorrow and start shooting? Probably not.”

    Have you checked out Nicki Minaj–along with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, and Kate Upton–in The Other Woman? Critics say she was used merely as “a prop,” but fans will no doubt love seeing her in action.
