Nicki Minaj & Drake Trade Interviews

Monday, April 18 2011 4:38 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

MTV caught up with Drizzy and Nicki backstage during the New Orleans leg of the I Am Music 2 tour where the two exchanged questions. Below Nick touches on collabs when asked about new music.

“Well, you know, Drizzy, I have been keeping everything sort of stored inside of me. So I’m just in complete tour mode. Yeah, I’ve been getting a lot of requests to do some features, but if I can’t give myself wholeheartedly, I always pass. I definitely never want to be just doing too many features that they start getting watered-down and I’m not giving my whole, true self.”

Nicki fires back asking Aubrey his thoughts on touring with his YMCMB familia again.

“I truly enjoy these moments. Especially being in New Orleans. Actually, New Orleans was the first place that I ever really realized that my music was getting out there. I remember walking outside the W [hotel], and there was a guy out there selling mixtapes and he had So Far Gone. I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t even mad. You usually think you’ll be mad when there’s a bootlegger, but I was super excited.”
