Nicki Minaj opened up about motherhood, Adele, and anxiety between a number of her greatest hits.
, and Minaj and Corden even sang a bit of Adele's “Someone Like You” a cappella.
After explaining to Corden what the term “opp” meant—it's slang for "opposition"—and determining that Corden's neighbor's dog would not be considered one of his "opps," Minaj and Corden broke into a rousing rendition of her pop hit “Super Bass.” Corden then challenged Minaj to freestyle about their carpool ride as he beat-boxed along, to hilarious results. “I thought we were done. We were doing it for fun. I just pushed out my son.
Minaj also opened up about her struggles with confidence after sharing with Corden that she chews on ice to manage her anxiety. “I think when I was younger, my more natural state was to be more confident. But when you’re a woman and you’re in the public eye all the time ,if you’re not careful, you can become less confident because you’re being constantly scrutinized,” she said. "I just don’t think it's natural.
“When I first came into the industry, I had this amazing sense of freedom,” said Minaj, "because nobody gave a shit about what I was doing. I could get away with doing anything. And then it goes from that to the complete, complete opposite. Where it’s like, if I blink my eye wrong, they’ll have a story made up about why I blinked my eye that way.”
But giving birth to her son in 2020 has helped manage that anxiety. “When I look at my son, I’m just magically in love,” said Minaj. “He makes me laugh, makes me smile, makes me happy. He’s just so cute and cuddly.”
