Nicki Minaj

The 26-year-old rapper ‘ who is a close friend of the ‘Only Girl (In the World)’ hitmaker ‘ revealed the pop superstar always touches her body when they see each other. She said: “Rihanna heard my song, ‘Fly’, and loved it. She sang it beautifully, so now when I see her she of course teasingly fondles me. She fondled me at the MTV Awards and the America Music Awards. I love her.

“She’s the best fondler ever because security didn’t hem her up and she left to tell about it!”

Nicki also says she likes to compliment fellow females in her raps because she thinks it will boost their self-esteem.

In an interview with i-D magazine, she added: “The way I rap is the way I speak, it’s conversational. I try not to limit what I put in my raps. People can take from my raps whatever they want to take out of it. When I say, ‘My bad b****es’ or comment on a girl, I think I should be able to say women are beautiful and I don’t have a problem with that.

“If you want to read more into it, then that’s on you. Maybe it makes a better fantasy in your brain, but I just do what I do. That’s the way I speak. I like to compliment girls and make them feel proud and make them feel better about who they are, no matter how they look.”

Adele’s recent heartbreak inspired her new album

Adele's recent heartbreak inspired her new album

The 22-year-old singer – whose second record ’21′ debuted at number one in the UK album charts last month – admitted the end of her “amazing, immense relationship” helped her to write a whole host of passionate songs.

She said: “I had the most amazing, immense relationship. It didn’t last, unfortunately – it stopped being fun, but thankfully the ending wasn’t bitter. The whole thing changed me. It made me really passionate about love, life, me – pretty much everything.”

However, after the success of her debut album ’19′, Adele was unsure how she could improve her second record.

She added to Reveal Magazine: “Before I went into the studio I wondered how on earth I was going to beat the first album. But it was like a tap that’s difficult to turn off. The relationship I’d been in just consumed me, which is where the songs came from.

“It’s important to me that people believe what I write about. They’re honest and it’s quite exhausting writing them because they’re all about my emotions and me. I’d hate it if someone thought, ‘Yeah, whatever, she has made them all up’.”
