The American spoke candidly about the ‘butt shots’ in a podcast by media personality Joe Budden. Minaj shares that the rappers around her at the beginning of her career constantly talked about large butts. Colleague Lil Wayne, among others, spoke ‘about big buttocks’ and, according to Minaj, regularly had ‘a new ‘chick’ over the floor’. These Wayne “muses” always brought “a new big ass” to the studio, the rap star tells listeners.
“I only heard them talk about big bums and didn’t feel like complete or good enough, not as good as these girls.” The artist admits that this indirectly convinced her to adjust her own buttocks.
