Jada Pinkett Smith sat down with Nicki Minaj for Interview magazine.

The women discussed motherhood and balancing Nicki’s musical sexuality with being a wife and a mother.

They also talked about the state of music today.

Nicki said, what I’m seeing now is that so many new artists are trying to become the person they looked up to instead of giving us new flavor and it’s irking the crap out of me…

they lose me when I’m seeing the person who they are trying to be like or sound like more than I’m seeing who they are.

When asked what artists inspire her she named Skeng, Bia and Jay-Z.
