"I may change her name," Nicki explained. "I just made up her name on the spot."

Nicki was initially nervous to perform her characters with the famous stars she's performed with.
"Sometimes I feel like maybe the characters ... maybe someone like Jay-Z wouldn't like that. Sometimes I do limit myself if I overthink it," she said. "All I heard was the beat and the hook, and that's what inspired that."
