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."
