Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill's joint interview for GQ starts off with a pretty major disagreement. "Very un-normal. It still ain't normal," Meek says of their relationship. To which Nicki responds: "I definitely think we have a normal relationship off camera. It's the same thing I think as any other couple in the hood."
This should probably not be a surprise for Twitter's most divisive couple. But reading through, the two are very in sync.
"One of the things that made me want to be with him is we spent so much time talking, and he always made me feel like he was OK with me being me. As an artist and just as a woman," Nicki says of Meek. "Obviously I'm a strong woman in a lot of ways… I'm not a strong woman in every way, I don't want to make it seem like I am some superhero because I'm not, but I do know that it takes a certain kind of guy."
As for Nicki's other favorite thing about Meek... "Actually I love kissing him. That's my favorite thing about Meek is to kiss him, which is weird. Just now I was like damn, you've been asking can I kiss you a lot now, and it's contagious because I used to be always asking him to kiss him when we first stated talking. I love kissing him. I love the way his lips feel."
Oh Nicki, we know.

As for Meek's favorite thing about Nicki? "That you was a hustler," Meek says. "That you were doing your thing. A lot of people coming up. People don't really have a girlfriends that's doing more than them or the same thing. I like girls that hustle. She a boss. She's pretty as f--k. Bad as s--t. Ambitious. What else do you want?"
On the day of Nicki and Meek's GQ shoot, Drake had just dropped his first of two diss tracks about Meek, after Meek had accused Drake of using a ghostwriter. During the interview, Meek admits that Nicki was none too thrilled about the feud.
Nicki: And that's the thing people don't understand. Meek is a grown ass man. I may not agree with everything he says.

Meek: She likes none of that s--t. No matter who I'm talking to.
Nicki says she started to get serious about Meek around the time he went to jail in July 2014. "I remember sitting on my balcony at my house and just being on the phone with him until it started getting dark outside," she says. "And I was just like yo, I'm in trouble. I just knew that first day, it was that long conversation. I was like uh-oh."
And in case you thought being the highest selling female rapper would exempt you from your mom trying to meddle in your love life? News flash: it won't.
"The only person [who had concerns about the relationship] was my mother," Nicki says. "My mother only knows Meek from what she sees in public, in the media. She met him now, but she just wants to make sure he's a nice guy. She's overprotective of her daughter. ... Everybody was just scared. Those women were scared for me because when I love someone I really let them in, and I really let me guard down, and I think it's only natural for a mother to just you know, she just wanted to make sure I wasn't rushing into anything."

Nicki also discussed her recent dust-up with Taylor Swift, over the lack of diversity at the VMAs.
"I'm very happy I tweeted about the VMAs, because 'Anaconda' had too much of a cultural impact to not be up [for Video of the Year]," Nicki says. "When these pop girls have a moment like that, they get nominated for every award, and they win it. And I was happy that people spoke out for me. People used their voices in the media to say this is true, and even Taylor Swift said, I didn't even realize there was a bigger picture, I missed it. We talked. We got over it. She called me and spoke about it, and I told her, I would never come at you."
Nicki Minaj is good with Meek. She's good with Drake. She's good with Taylor. Nicki Minaj is good with everyone. But Miley Cyrus.
