Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) Explains Anaconda for GQ Magazine

“It’s just talking about two guys that [Nicki Minaj] dated in the past and what they’re good at and what they bought her and what they said to her. It’s just cheeky, like a funny story.”

“I’m chopping up the banana. Did you realize that? At first I’m being sexual with the banana, and then it’s like, ‘Ha-ha, no.’ ” I ask if she’s referring to how the Drake scene immediately follows the kitchen scene. “Yeah, that was important for us to show in the kitchen scene, because it’s always about the female taking back the power, and if you want to be flirty and funny that’s fine, but always keeping the power and the control in everything.”
