“You know, once anybody has success with anything, it seems like everybody just jumps on that sound,” the mother of one explained to Budden in a brief clip he shared to Instagram on Tuesday, March 1st. “Even if they may not have even liked it, it might be people behind them telling them to do it.”
Minaj continued explaining her point, “Once you do that, and once you do it a couple times, who then are you? We’ve now forgotten who you are,” she emphasized. “I don’t think that people realize that. If you jump on every trend, you become faceless.”
“It’s like,” she began again, before pausing to collect her thoughts and let out a deep sigh. “This is a deep point,” Budden chimed in. “Yeah,” Minaj responded. “It’s important. It’s important people know this!”
The quick clip is some of the first audio footage we’ve heard from Minaj and Budden’s most recent conversation and seeing as they’ve been known to sometimes violently bicker on-air, it’s much more relaxed than we were anticipating, although that doesn’t mean things won’t take a turn when the full conversation is released.
