Nicki Minaj says Lil Wayne didn’t touch her during their steamy music video
Lil Wayne may be known for being a lil’ out of control, but he kept things respectful while filming a steamy music video for Nicki Minaj’s “High School” (below.)
The rapper is Nicki’s boss because she’s signed to his label young money. This made shooting the sexy video a little awkward for Nicki because she also sees him a brother.
“He refused to touch me, he’s so respectful, he refused to touch me, and then I was like, ‘Wayne,’ I was like, ‘You could do this.’ But he was acting scared, like, ‘Yo, Nick, this is my dream. I’m gonna be a man after this video.’ He was just being crazy,” Minaj told MTV News. “But if I didn’t tell him ‘Yes, you can do this’ or ‘touch this,’ he refused to do it, like he’s a southern gentlemen, which people don’t realize.”
One thing he did try to push with Nicki was that they should actually make out, but Nicki refused.”If we actually locked lips, don’t you think we would have put it in the video?” Minaj joked. “Wayne said we had to kiss for the video. He was like, one thing that’s going to sell it is if we really kiss. I’m like, ehh.”
Nicki was impressed with Wayne’s sex appeal, though. She says “I texted Wayne and I was like, you’re going to have all the chicks back on you, know what I’m saying? Because when this video comes out, he looks like art, he looks like a piece of art all tatted up, all sexy, black and beautiful.”
Lil Wayne experienced several seizures while filming this music video, and had to be rushed to the hospital. He later revealed that he has epilepsy and had been suffering from seizures for a while, but this episode was so bad his life was in danger.
