With her new album ‘The Pinkprint’ set to arrive on shelves the same time reportedly as Rihanna ‘s eight studio album and Iggy Azalea and Beyonce’s re-release albums, Nicki Minaj is gearing up for a hefty promo run.

To kick off her campaign the ‘Anaconda’ slayer is gracing the November issue of ‘GQ’ with snaps by photographer Mark Seliger. In the interview Nicki dished on her past customer service jobs before she became a star, the infamous and almost 300 million viewed ‘Anaconda’ video and more.

Check out some of the excerpts below from the issue that hits newsstands on October 28.

On her customer service job: “I like dealing with people, but I don’t really like a lot of bullshit, so maybe customer servicewasn’t the best job for me.”

On her natural look: “I always thought that by the time I put out a third album, I would want to come back to natural hair and natural makeup. I thought, I will shock the world again and just be more toned down. I thought that would be more shocking than to keep on doing exactly what they had already seen.”

On the video for “Anaconda”: “I think the video is about what girls do. Girls love being with other girls, and when you go back to us being younger, we would have slumber parties and we’d be dancing with our friends.”

On the “Anaconda” cover art, which spawned a million memes:“I just said I’ll put it out, never thought in a billion years that people would be putting [other] people’s heads on it. It’s the craziest shit.”
