In a candid interview on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show, Nicki Minaj discussed various topics, including her new singles “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz,” Meek Mill’s legal case, her relationship with Cardi B, and the infamous feud between Meek Mill and Drake.

Addressing Meek Mill’s legal situation, Nicki prefaced by saying she didn’t want to discuss legal matters but revealed that she had positive interactions with the judge involved. She expressed empathy for Meek and his family, particularly his mother, who she said was always kind to her.

Reflecting on the Drake-Meek Mill beef, Nicki called it one of the hardest parts of her career and admitted feeling torn between her loyalty to both artists. She recalled Drake expressing concerns about potential retaliation from her during the feud and revealed her attempts to dissuade Meek from participating.

Throughout the interview, Nicki emphasized her excitement for her upcoming album, describing it as the best of her career. She disclosed that she began working on the project in December 2017, with some tracks written even earlier.

Nicki’s candid revelations shed light on her complex relationships within the music industry and her journey towards her highly anticipated new album.
