What are your thoughts on Cardi B?
Having your fans rap back your lyrics to you like that must be the greatest feeling ever.
Ikr 🔥🔥🔥

@Truthful4ever shut up
The audience don’t listen to anybody but nicki 🥺🥺
Shes literally Mom 😂😭
WitchyWays thas why we ha sons 🙈✨

🌹🌹🌹
You spelt the barbs wrong
I think this is better than a concert.
Imagine being that close to your idol and being able to discuss about lyrics and women empowerment?
By the way this crowd deserve an award for best fans or something...
Steph F do faxxxx
Steph F do yes honestly this was so so entertaining, yet personal.
I didn’t think my love for Nicki could grow but it doubled after this.
This like 20th time watching 😂
yes they deserve it, realized how much they were Nicki fans but they respected it, they didn’t scream when they shouldn’t, They didn’t jump on stage as we see some do... I loved these guys!
Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣

"Its almost like men think that being a woman is a handicap." -Nicki Minaj
Yelp...until they hv a daughter
@@lethaldream50 JUST LIKE EMINEM DID FOR WH.......... OH NO HONEY
What timestamp ?
Mia Rosa 33:47
I really loved that she said that. Anyone that makes a woman feel like being a woman is a handicap has a bird brain.
This interviewer is well trained!! Any like for the interviewer?😁
I like the interviewer. He was really good
How the hell can an interview be trained?
sperm monkey they mean he was well prepared and knew the questions and history behind the music
Hes a barb of course
Yeah he’s a good interviewer w eveybody not rude or disrespectful at all
LMAO she said “MCDONALDSSSSSSS?” 😭😭😭😭
My thought exactly LMAO
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Time stamp?
Madison Tv 3:08
the face she made 😭😭
No other artist has ever offered to feed their fans . This is why she is so blessed. I am a fan for life.
Periodt
did they ever get their food i need to know i’m rewatching rn but idk
GingerAleMan I’m rewatching for like the 5th time yeah I think it gets there when she mentions the crowd of black people moving saying the food must be here
GingerAleMan 1:04:30 start there
She’s just the best
I love that the first thing Nicki did was apologize for being late & got the audience food, made sure the food was on it's way and 20 mins into the interview asked again about the food. I respect the hell outta that & that she was even concerned about it. Queen
Truthful4ever ur very weird... pls find some friends.
Truthful4ever The fact you think like this 😂😂 your such a fucking low life
@Truthful4ever find some friends or a hobby
That was touching brother. That was!!!
The Generous Queen 👸🏾
These Barbz TURNED it into a concert
N A I L A . J lmaoooo barbz energy is sth else I love us
We’re a different kind of breed😂❤️
She’s the best female rapper! Screw the whole diss track, etc. In terms of lyrics, sales, marketability, longevity and creativity. She’s definitely #1!
and that's on periodt!
Cory R lol what ? no frauds is that bitch period
Cory girl shut the fuck up 🔫🙄
Cory ik im a lil late but no frauds ate
She's not the best female rapper in history.
People sleep on the fact that she's an educated, well-spoken queen.
That so true
Exactly
Fr
I think the same…ion call no one queen tho but she is very educated I think that maybe the reason she gets into so much ish in the industry bc she no gimmic n she enjoys doing this. I can tell she likes how she come up wit her lyrics.
@@leeleekong5800 For real. She is so highly aware of the whole industry and it's dynamics. She is so real and speaks nothing but the truth. She never signed a 360, they ain't profiting off of her, her label does but she takes way more than her label. She is a lyrical beast! Like... she is everything. That's why the industry is doing what it's doing to her.
You can’t be a fan and not smile and geek and sing with this video. It’s just not possible. Period.
Landon DeVon ikr. #barbz
I’m in class watching this so like i wanna sing but i can’t buy i want to so badly
🙏🏾Yesssssssss
True da
Landon DeVon periodt this is my 10th time watching this over and I’m rapping it all over like it’s my first time
Rob is the BEST interviewer HANDS DOWN!! He is actually RESPECTFUL!!
What about Sean Evans that does the hot ones interviews
Yes i love him so much
@@isabellabean1933 and zane lowe! he's awesome
FORREAL !
The interviewer did amazing. He took control when needed but still allowed the fans to be fans. I also like the fact that he did not make this interview about the beef she has had with other female colleagues/coworkers.
⭐⭐⭐ agreeed!!
Top tier interviewer
lisa here (BONE IT = BONÉT)
lisa hair (LISA BONET HAS DREADS)
leaser here

What time stamp is that
35:21
Nicki fans CHANGING the game!! You ain’t no artist if your fans in a LIVE interview ain’t as LIT and knowledgeable as them. Seriously.
Bree Wilkerson lol

Rob really did this well. Very classy, in depth interview. Never was a Nicki fan, but I can say Flex’s interview was disrespectful as hell, and this is the kind of interview she deserves. This is the interview that will changes people’s opinions about Nicki.
Raye Will Perfectly said
Raye Will why was the Flex one disrespectful?
I wanted to be in the audience....They were lit....
Shellene me too

Rewatching this for my mental health

Shout out . Not shouts

@@ayush9791 shut the fuck up bitch we don’t care .
Nicki’s confidence and defense of herself is inspiring in more than just rap. It shows:
1. Just because multiple people say something doesn’t always make it true.
2. It is 100% necessary to list your credits and be proud of your work when it’s discredited in your silence, and
3. You don’t have to shut up when your skill and experience show that you know what you are talking about.
Only artist I ever heard during an interview ask if everyone ate and actually fed them she's so dope
Its Deda I think she has done it before
Paul Smith I never said she didn't can you re read my post damn
Its Deda lol why you mad. I agreed with you. I was just saying she has done it before. 💓 that's all lol
Its Deda true i love nicki minaj😭😭😭😍😍😍😍✨🔥🔥
Lady Gaga did it before but true never seen an artists do this
The audience was lit asf 🔥💜
Tati Hendrix lit as fuck... Every lyric was said...
Tati Hendrix right I should’ve been there.
Too bad she wasn’t 🤷🏽♂️

Been on a Nicki marathon since PF2 came out. Interviews, old songs etc & I just can't not love this lady 😭💕 Nicki just GIVESSSS
i NEED another Genius and Nicki interview!
Logan Sanders I think so too
Go listen to queen radio
Me too
Sameee
2023 yesssss
Confirmed: Nicki just came from the bts idol video shoot (the one she's talking about why she's late and she didn't know they were gonna do it that day) then went here. Same wig
3:08
@@quentyncole9530 The video BEEN out, what rock do you live under
I love a business woman
Then she went for the other video like she said she had to go for another video
Oh Wow I just realized it’s the same wig LOL
6 years later and this is stil the best interview EVERRRR.... PERIOD‼️ We need anothet one for PF2🦄 Thr Queen got lyrics for days
she is very very smart
Rob is a good interviewer! He let Nicki talk and he had song receipts and everything
hopeless romantic RIGHT!! Unlike Flex
A real interview 🙌🏻💖
yes yes
Nicole Raheem ew dont mention that two faced trash
hopeless romantic He does appear to be a really Genuine & Great Interviewer.
This is Nicki's best interview so far she was speaking nothing but facts 😌
How the video is an hour long. You commented this 29 min after released
OZA honey. It was live before released into video format
Nubian Bria 😂😂 say it ain’t so, gosh dang it
Its cause the interviewer and the relaxed atmosphere
If you don't write you can't join the party or be in this circle of the greats!
5 years later.....Nicki is the queen of rap and endurance. Hardwork and talent pay.
2024 and still the Queen of rap
Honestly this moved me so much. I feel like she is still so misunderstood and I could just feel the energy in that room through my screen - everybody in that room gets it, it's so powerful!
Fawn Whisperer i feel the exact same way
Fawn Whisperer she's a fellow Sagittarius like myself because we're so blunt about shit people never understand where we're coming from. It's frustrating AF!
bytesyzecandi I’m a Sagittarius also. It’s weird because I can relate to nicki. People not understanding you and people thinking you’re a bitch for being honest.
Stfu. Lol
I feel the same, she has always been misunderstood
I have a new appreciation for Nicki after this interview.
Yess
Me too
KristynAlexis good shes really sweet♡♡
KristynAlexis I totally agree & Love me some Nicki
Watch Playtime is Over Part 8 and you will see how fake this interview is.
This interview is 1hr 20min and I've been here 3 times 😂🤦 what am I doing with my life??
I love your priorities
Me too..and i have exams tomorrow🤯😩
😂😂i wanna cry over this.
Honestly Nicki can't complain, she has the best fan base I've seen in the industry.
I edited this comment again so now the comments DO make sense

This is Nicki’s own TED talk
how are these fans MORE LITTT than the fans at some live shows???!!!
Checking in 2023. I watch this interview at least once a year. This might be my favorite long Nicki interview ever! Shout out to Rob & Genius cos they did something really original and creative with this interview. It wasn’t just about fluff. It was about the art. The substance. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Favorite for sure 🔥
Nicki open doors for all female rappers
Yes she did
PERIODT
And that's just that on that!
No she didn’t
She blasted the doors with a massive attack
I seriously think that Nicki is one of, if not the greatest Lyricist of this generation. *TRUE QUEEN* 👸🏾
PeriodtT 😽😽💜
She my friend I'm not to hang with friends
Yes
LoVEEeee BOO NOP
This interview makes you teary eyed. I’ve been here since the beginning; it’s not a Nicki song that i don’t know. It’s 2023, i just want her to sit in her glory. She doesn’t have to do the back and forth with the new female rappers. She’s earned her title as QUEEN for sure.
doctor: you have 1 hour and 21 minutes to live....
me:
"Did you guys eat?"
*We love a considerate queen!*
I genuinely have a new respect for Nicki Minaj as an artist and a lyricist after this interview.
It took me too long to realise that she was filming the idol video
BEST interview Nicki has EVER done! So much respect you can’t hate it 💛😩
She is so dope literally asking if they ate and getting them food. That means that real love.
ladyday facts
she was late and she made it up to them. dope
The fact that she bought the whole room food and not no cheap ass food lol 😂 that’s love fr

Wow the ending really touched me, people underestimate and just to box in nicki so much when she is such a complex, smart and versatile lyricist
the nicki stan’s give me life 💙😭
Cardi shouldnt be in the same category has nicki! Nicki is very intelligent
No she isn't
