Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Doesn’t Want Your Pickle Juice

Nicki Minaj vents about getting served pickle juice in a clip from her MTV documentary “My Time Now,” airing Sunday at 10 p.m. After showing up to an unprofessional photo shoot where their budget isn’t up to snuff, the pink-haired rapper goes off about getting treated with the respect she deserves.

“I put quality in what I do. I spend time and I spend energy and I spend effort and I spend everything I have, every fiber of my being, to give people quality,” she barks. “So if I turn up to a photo shoot and you got a $50 clothes budget and some sliced pickles on a motherfuckin’ board, you know what? No. I am gonna leave. Is that wrong? Wanting more for myself? Wanting people to treat me with respect? You know what? Next time, they know better. But had I accepted the pickle juice, I would be drinking pickle juice right now.”

The Young Money spitter also addresses the double standards of being in control, comparing herself to Donald Trump. “When I am assertive, I’m a bitch. When a man is assertive, he’s a boss. He bossed up. No negative connotation behind ‘bossed up.’ But lots of negative connotation behind being a bitch. Donald Trump can say, ‘You’re fired.’ Let Martha Stewart run her company the same way and be the same way,” she states.

Before putting her makeup in check and asking that the footage be scrapped, the Harajuku Barbie discusses the pressures put on women to succeed in the rap world. “When you’re a girl, you have to be everything. You have to be dope at what you do but you have to be super sweet and you have to be sexy and you have to be this, you have to be that, and you have to be nice,” she says. “It’s like, ‘I can’t be all those things at once. I’m a human being.’”

Why would Nicki target the HOOD? The HOOD doesn’t buy FEMALE RAP albums! Why do you think the females haven’t been doing sh*t for the past 5 years? They’re targeting a crowd that doesn’t even legally purchase their work.

Nicki and her team know what they are doing
have to get a bigger marketing audience then just the hood
the hood is so fake 1 minute they got your back let you cross over to pop or other communities they feel your fake wtf..

i respect Nicki and anyone who can get over that hood shit and no there is more to life then the fucking hood!!!

How can you say “I put quality in what I do. I spend time and I spend energy and I spend effort and I spend everything I have, every fiber of my being, to give people quality”, and then serve us with Pink Friday? I’m a huge nicki fan, but pink friday was below average.

when i say this then yall can shut up.

Lil Kim is a FAKE

1. Kim Hung out with Keys (a girl who said she DON”T like girls who call themselves barbies??? but Lil kim hanging with her and they cool

2.Lil kim says EVERYTHING about nicki minaj is whack everything she is whack. BUT you saying nicki minaj is you everything she does is you and she stole it. Kim wouldnt that make you whack?

3. The girl is speakin the truth.. She is REAL. I love beyonce but beyonce aint real like this and beyonce makes just as much Bull crap music as everybody else.

4. Who are YOU to say who is killin hip hop or R&B.
A.) Not all celebs just like R&B or hip hop the may want to venture and try something new. It gets OLD.
B.) These folks are trying to MAKE money. What R&B songs have you seen go #1 on billboard hott 100

Look at jazmine sullivan her 1st album has not even went gold yet. look at chrisette michelle, fantasia, melanie fiona, janelle monae, diamond, and other ppl they not makin no money.

@MykolAnthony

As someone else who’s been down with Nicki’s shit since the mixtapes, I feel you on missing the old nicki we first got to know. However you gotta evolve to further urself and if anything nicki’s doing more to distance herself from that kim clone image (that too many rap bitches get slapped with as soon as they look good and flow nasty) than ever before. When i listened to pink friday lookin for the typical nicki from the past i was a little disappointed, but if you go into it with an open mind its a pretty good cd with hip hop and r&b appeal thats gonna give her the success she needs to start pushing more boundaries.

wtf dr Seuss wig..what is wrong with this bitch . Pink friday sucked and I was a fan of hers.. that was just trash just like drakes was trash. Kim is was and always will be on another level end of that . nicki is a good entertainer but what she is giving out is commercial. I did like her before the wigs and shit and maybe yes it didn’t sell but by changing who you are to sell makes you a sell out so HOW COULD SHE BE REAL? all her fans are like 12 anyways nicki do what your doing but she will never get the respect she wants by her image now and people will still serve you pickle juice . that’s why its so hard for females to come up in rap cause the respect is not there but they keep trying to build that respect not preaching in a hot pink wig ? I mean who would take that shit seriously ???

I agree with her about the Donald Trump statement. That’s very true. If you’re too sweet, you get walked on and no one takes you seriously; too hard and you’re a bitch that everyone avoids.

Everything else I found comical. She wants to taken seriously but she colors her hair all sorts of wild colors. She wears skimpy clothes all the time. Most of her songs are about guys. I’m sorry but if you want people to respect you, you have to dress the part.

And with the pathetic photo shoot… I would have made them feel ashamed of themselves instead of walking out. A $50 budget? Okay, I’ll just wear my jeans and a nice top with their money. Pickle juice? Might be good for the throat but could someone take the $50 and get me a bottle of water? Do the shoot and then never work with them again. Then talk about the horrible photo shoot years down the road when you decide to write an autobiography (if you’re around that long).

When you first start out, you have to deal with a lot of bullshit. I realized this by looking at some of Eminem’s photo shoots and interviews when he first started out. There’s no way you could do Em like that now but you could 10 years ago because he was just starting out. You can’t act like a diva with 15 years in the game when in reality your debut came out days ago. Talk about a big head. It gives you a bad rep with people that will keep popping up in your career. Before long, you might not have one.

what does lil kim have to do with this post? Isn’t this a Nicki Minaj post. That beef is so lame…it’s so 90′s and hip hop survived prior(pre 90′s) to beef. People used to listen and enjoy the music. The fan base of today are much more diverse, so Nicki is catering to all folks.

@Luell14 my thoughts exactly.

@queenbeyonce theres something real fishy about you. ilike nicki minaj as well however after seeing that clip i couldnt sit her and say “aw man, thats so real!” Man! she’s obviously doin that for the camera! the best thing to do is to kill em with kindness and beyonce’s smart enough to not spazz out like that in front of MTV’S CAMERAS! makin money for the white man by acting like a fool. i also wanna see what company was foolish enough to serve only sliced pickles to Minaj, watch and find out she’s freakin out over there being snow crab legs and not King crab legs like she specified in her rider. smh
