Nicki Minaj shared her admiration for Lil Wayne and just how much faith she has in him and vice versa. Wayne's belief in Nicki's artistic vision is a large part of what keeps her confident in that vision.

"Absolutely. I never have to worry about Wayne thinking I'm going too far left because Wayne has been one of the pioneers in Hip Hop in terms of going too far left, you know?" Nicki says. "Whether he's singing in Auto-Tune, whether he's doing rock or playing the guitar or he's getting tats on his face, he kind of always does him. So yeah, it definitely helps."

The rap star also discussed the cost of being a celebrity.

"Yeah, of course it gets harder, but it's one of those things," Nicki said about fame. "It's the price that you pay. Everyone knows when they get into this game, they kind of know that they're bartering their privacy and they're bartering peace of mind in order to win. None of this comes for free. It's an exchange; you're always exchanging one thing for the other. Obviously what I've gotten so far outweighs the things that I've had to trade in."
