It’s really good. I wish you guys could taste it. It’s so good,” Nicki said. “I have a clothing line with Kmart and that was really hard for me because I tussled with that decision. My inspiration was a lot of the dresses on Idol that I wore, they were super expensive and my fans were like, ‘Where’d you get that?’ But they couldn’t necessarily afford it because they’re in college or whatever. So I wanted to create dresses that I would wear. They’re free-flowing and they’re pretty and you can kind of dress it up however you want to.” Nicki Minaj also cracked the audience up with her different accents. Watch Nicki Minaj interview below.
