'The Pinkprint' Star Nicki Minaj Reveals That She Wanted To Be A Lawyer And Why She Wrote 'Anaconda,' Slams Wayne And Drake Rumors [VIDEOS]

Nicki Minaj has been going non-stop making appearance after appearance as fans everywhere are happy getting the rapper's latest album The Pinkprint just in time for Christmas.

One stop on her promoting tour was to the headquarters of The Real talk show Friday, Dec. 19, where Minaj shared details about her anticipated album, in stores now.

When Minaj first sat down, the questions started to fly, as a host asked Minaj, "If you weren't doing this, what would you be doing?"

The singer/rapper said, "I wanted to study law at one point of my life ... It wouldn't be Nicki Minaj, it would be Onika Tanya Maraj."

Minaj has been nominated for two Grammys: Anaconda and Bang Bang. The rapper said she wrote Anaconda for big and curvy women.

When host Tamar Braxton asked Minaj how she came up with the idea to write Anaconda, Minaj said:

"I felt like back in the day, thicker women were celebrated in hip-hop, and I felt like there was a shift happening and I didn't like it." She continued, "I felt like somebody needed to say something, and I wanted to say something like, 'F them skinny b-----s," because I felt like rappers were only embracing the skinny girls."

When it comes to her new album, Minaj says, "I value every person on the album, and that is apart of anything I do."

Despite loving all her collaborations, Minaj says she's proud that Beyoncé is on the album and says she wants her fans to listen to the album starting from Track 1 all the way to the end:

"I want you to listen to my new album in order, I want you to feel a certain way, and I want you to feel something."

Minaj also explained her single Only, which was about her label-mates Lil Wayne and Drake. Minaj says, "Hey, I'm proud of not sleeping with any of my label-mates."

Minaj also had time while on the show to play a game called Rapid-Fire.

The Real host Jeannie Mai asked, "What is your favorite alter ego?"

Minaj said, "Roman."

What's the worst present she ever received?

Minaj says, "I ain't even going to lie, somebody bought me an artsy thing one time and I knew it was expensive and I wanted to be like, 'I hate this so much.'" She continues, "You know, if you're not into something, and how much money it is, you be like ... 'Why you buy this for me?'" Minaj says, "I like regular stuff."

When asked, "What's your must-have dressing room snack?," the singer says, "Olives."

Tamar asked, "What's your favorite hair color?"

Minaj said, "You know, I don't know." She explained, "Light blonde, but then when I see my myself in black, I like black on me better."

Tamera asked, "Are you on the naughty or nice list this year?" Minaj said, "I prefer to be on the naughty list, because who has fun being nice?"

Tamar asked, "Which one is your favorite Real host?" The rapper said, "I like all of you for different reasons."

She explained: "You all represent someone different ... I think you guys are going to go very, very far."
