What did Nicki Minaj say about "Lookin Ass"?
Genius Answer

I was in New York, and I don’t know if [Detail] (the producer) was out there. That was for the BMI thing. They had given me all these awards, and they honored Cash Money, and we went out to eat, and Detail was out there acting crazy, getting mad drunk. So Safaree went outside and spoke to him like, ‘Yo…Nicki’s about to start working on her album heavy,’ and he [said], ‘Oh word? I’ve been trying to get in the studio with her.’ So they set it up, we came about to L.A. …and ‘Lookin’ Ass' was the first thing I did with him. It took a minute because I wanted to perfect every line… and it came out really good.
