Nicki Minaj covers Dazed Magazine's Autumn/Winter issue, shot by Jeff Bark and styled by Robbie Spencer. The 18-page spread features two separate covers that explore Minaj's dual personality: "the demure fashion obsessive" and the "provocative pop culture bombshell."
In the sit-down interview with Phoebe Lovatt, Minaj talks everything from feminism to what it'll take her to settle down and have a family (Hint: five studio albums, and $500 million—like Jay and Puffy). Below are two more photos from the shoot as well as some standout quotes from the interview, too.
1.
What She Wants To Accomplish:
“I have to make 500 million dollars first, too though” she says. “That figure has been in my brain for a long time. I want to be the female who earned the same amount of money that the Jay Zs and the Puffys were able to earn”
On Being Predictable:
“When I think of the female icons I love and look up to, I don’t think they were ever predictable. I just want to be unpredictable and fearless”
2.
On Feminism:
“I just want women to always feel in control. Because, we’re capable – we’re so capable. It’s one of the reasons that I have these women that I look up to – because they did not allow being a woman make them feel like they should settle for less, financially. No, money doesn’t mean everything. But it says a lot.”
