You worked with Nicki Minaj – some call her the best female rapper on the planet. Agree?
Yes, she definitely is the best female rapper in the game right now.
You’ve referenced video games a few times. How much do you play? Favourite game?

I try to not to get confronted with “beef” or fight about things with other artists, but sometimes you can’t avoid it.
