On Friday, June 12, Lil Wayne released a new episode of his Young Money Radio on Apple Music. T-Pаin, Nicki Minaj, Damien Lillard, Noreaga, and Lil Duval were among the star-studded group of guests.
Weezy got into a conversation about being a woman in the rap game with his longtime friend, whom he introduced as “the First Lady of Young Money and the Queen of every f—ing thing.” Wayne recalled that back in 2009, when he signed Nicki to his label, some had advised him against signing a woman.
Minaj clarified, “Getting someone to take you seriously was the whole thing I was worried about.” “People had really given up on female rappers at the time, so I wasn’t sure if you would take me seriously.”
“I was enjoying the preparations and working really hard because I just knew I was going to make it,” she said. “I believe that people are unaware of the amount of work involved. Since you won’t be working, why even bother?
Wayne continued by praising Nicki and himself for having the most Hоt 100 entries alongside Drake and Elvis Presley. He also congratulated Minaj on her number-one Һit song, “Sаy So,” remixed by Doja Cat. Minaj retorted, “I have never built my career on whether or not something goes number one.” “The majority of rap songs that endure forever don’t reach the top spot.”
Regarding how “the married life is treating her,” Minaj extolled Kenneth Petty, her recent husband. She said, “It’s more soothing and refreshing than I anticipated.” “Having someone who feels like your soulmate or who understands you makes you feel on top of the world, even if you’re not married.”
