Nicki Minaj shows her stuff on the cover of Marie Claire‘s August 2013 issue, on newsstands July 16.

Here’s what the 30-year-old rap star had to share with the mag:

On her time at American Idol: “The perception that people had of me completely changed because there are no cue cards, there’s no script, it wasn’t be performing a song. It was, ‘Let’s see you real personality.’ My core is a genuine human being who roots for other people. I didn’t want to blow smoke up their ***. I wanted every contestant to leave with something that they could remember.”

On her recent epiphany as an artist: “I was on a world tour, a big feat for a female rapper. For the first time, I allowed myself to feel proud of where music had gotten me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. You feel the need to pay it forward, which starts with analyzing yourself with a true desire to grow. I was praying every day, ‘You know what, Lord? I want to be a mom one day, and I want to start becoming the woman who I want to parent my child.’ I wanted all of the feelings of entitlement to leave me, because some people have this life for a year or five or 10 – and a lot of them lose it. I didn’t want to become a person who wasn’t enjoying the moment.”

On tips for getting a man: “Don’t chase any man. Put your school first. Men love independent women. You don’t have to be a *****, but there’s nothing wrong with it at times. And: Men are kids at heart. They want to be nourished and pet like a dog.
