During a recent interview, Nicki Minaj admitted that sexually-charged music has become “overkill.” During a radio interview, Nicki said she recently felt compelled to avoid rapping about raunchy material, saying, “Right now I’m back to talking about whatever I want to talk about on the records, but to me…it still feels like overkill…a lot of stuff I’m hearing and even the stuff that people are sending me. If it’s too much of the sexual stuff, it’s just not making me feel super comfortable anymore.”
Minaj added that her forthcoming album will mark the return of “mixtape Nicki.”
Minaj also revealed that she was asked to collaborate on Gunna's hit single “P Power.” She said, “He asked me to get on his song ‘P*ssy Power.' I heard the beat and said, ‘Oh my God, this beat is out of here.’ No lie, I sat with the song for months and months and couldn’t bring myself to write for the record.”
She continued, “I knew that in order to get on a track like that, I would have to be explicit,” she said. “In my opinion, I would have to kill it and be explicit and talk that real talk. And I wasn’t ready. I just wasn’t there.” She added, “That’s just to tell you how being a mom has changed me.”
Nicki is set to release her new single “Do We Have a Problem?” featuring Lil Baby on Friday (February 4th).
