Young Money's Barbie covers an issue in fashion and pop culture's Black Book Magazine. Her spread is one of the best I've seen so far. She discussed her life now as an artist, the ups and downs of fame, and even comparisons to Lady Gaga.
“I’ve always wanted fame,” she says. “But when I achieved fame, I started realizing that it wasn’t as important as being great at what you do, or being critically acclaimed. Still, I never wish I wasn’t famous.”
"Of the Gaga comparisons, Minaj says, “We both do the awkward, non-pretty thing. What we’re saying—what I’m saying, anyway—is that it’s okay to be weird. And maybe your weird is my normal. Who’s to say? I think it’s an attitude we both share.”
"I’ve lost my peace of mind,” Minaj says. “I no longer know who’s my friend or my enemy. I don’t know if they’re calling me because they like me or because they want a photo op, and that’s not a good feeling. I’m always second-guessing everyone, trying to figure out, Who is this person, and what do they want from me?”
“I’ve become an image, a persona, a robot: ‘Stand there, take a picture, and smile.’”
Article was very good indeed. The stylist and photographer did an amazing job during the shoot. Credits to Andrew MacPhereson and Brett Bailey.
