Nicki Minaj covers the April 2012 Issue of Allure Magazine. In the interview, she talks about coming for Jay-Z’s spot and how she loses weight WITHOUT exercise. Check out a few excerpts from the interview here.

When asked about “dethroning” Jay-Z Nicki had this to say: “I never thought about music as just being the end-all, be-all. I always looked at it like a business, something that I could create an empire out of…. I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. He said, ‘Congratulations on all your success.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m coming for you. I’m coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul.’”

When asked how she stays fit Nicki says: “I’m naturally petite, but I definitely struggle with keeping those extra pounds off. And I hate working out. I can’t stand being on a treadmill. That mentally irks me. When I need to lose a few, I just cut out sugar and starch.”
