The people who love you don’t talk to you like that, do treat you like that, don’t say things like that to make you feel pain, but we do that to ourselves. Women, we do that to ourselves all the time over our bodies.”And Minaj capped off their body convo with a compliment to Trainor, telling her, “You have a really nice butt.”
