My grandfather played for the San Francisco 49ers and my uncles played football as well. My aunties ran track. We’re all really athletic. So when it comes to fitness, I love working on my legs,” she told Women Fitness. “I think if you have good legs, you look good overall. So, I would say squats and leg presses. Even, mixing in some dance moves like squatting and dancing. I’ve been trying to practice it more and more, It’s a really good exercise!”

Saweetie has a few go-to cheat foods. One of them is McDonalds. “And my any time favorite food would definitely be crawfish with a yummy cajun sauce, extra spicy, and a side of rice,” she told Women’s Fitness.

4. She Takes Ginger Shows

“I take ginger shots every morning and I take vitamins,” Saweetie revealed to Page Six. “I just feel like a certain type of cleanliness. People don’t talk about it — but let’s talk about it — healthy bowel movements are really important. You got to get that thing flowing.”

5. Music Is Her Therapy

Saweetie has always looked at music as therapy. “An icon is someone who inspires others—through fashion, through music, through your personality, through your perseverance. I’ve always admired the women that came before me, my own icons, because they helped me become the woman I am today,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. Her ultimate icon? Cher. “One thing that she taught me was Take your time, but keep going. No matter where you’re at, keep going. Sometimes, I do feel like giving up. But I know that if she did it, I could do it too. I see a lot of myself in her,” she continued. “I feel like I’ve made it when a fan writes me a letter and they correlate an experience between a song that I put out [and something that happened to them]. It really makes me feel good. Because what good is all this fame, this notoriety, if you’re not helping people? It warms my heart when I hear stories about my music getting someone through a hard exam period, a bad breakup, a time when they were feeling low. I know what it feels like to be that little girl who struggles and who needs music for therapy and for inspiration.”

"Hopefully I'm able to evaluate, reflect on and see what I can do better next year, because I work a lot." "Balance needs to happen," she adds. "I feel like I'm being run down to the ground right now and my body doesn't feel good. I've had mental breakdowns and it's just really stressful, but it's nice to be acknowledged because it lets me know that my hard work isn't going unnoticed."

2. She Has Been Outspoken About Stress

"It's just trying to find balance right now. I have no balance. Everything is just work, work, work and I don't have an outlet," she told People. "I don't have a therapist. I don't hang out with any of my friends because I work so much, so it's just trying to thug it out into until the New Year."

3. She Hopes to One Day Open a Mental Health Resort

"You see artists, especially women artists, venting online and it really makes my soul sad that no one is protecting our mental health," she told People. Without a healthy mind, there can be no consistent music. "So it's definitely a domino effect and if I can get some investors before I become a billionaire, creating a wellness resort for celebrities and public figures, athletes, entertainers is like one of my primary goals."

“I take ginger shots every morning and I take vitamins. I just feel like a certain type of cleanliness. People don’t talk about it — but let’s talk about it — healthy bowel movements are really important. You got to get that thing flowing,” she told Page Six.

“Weight training is a type of strength training that uses weights for resistance. Weight training provides a stress to the muscles that causes them to adapt and get stronger, similar to the way aerobic conditioning strengthens your heart,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Weight training can be performed with free weights, such as barbells and dumbbells, or by using weight machines. You can also increase your strength through other types of resistance exercises, such as by using your body weight or resistance bands.”

1. She’s Grown

Minaj opened up about becoming a mom in an interview with Interview Magazine. She says that she feels that having a child has helped her grow as a person. “I see myself as a baby in my son and because of that, it reminds me of moments that I had probably forgotten over time, just of me being a toddler in Trinidad. First of all, being a mother is the biggest freaking blessing on planet earth. I’m so happy that god allowed me to experience this. I’ve always loved children and I’ve always been great with children, but in the last few years I started thinking, I know it’s going to be a huge shift for me because I’m used to going wherever I want, whenever I want, and I knew having a baby was going to change all that.”

2. She Wants To Have Fun

Minaj tells Interview Magazine that she wants to release fun songs. She says that this is how she approached recording “Super Freaky Girl.” “This song came along and because I didn’t approach it in a sexual way, I approached it in a fun way, it’s like I tapped back into who I was. People might not get this from me, but I was never trying to be sexy, I always was laughing. I think that I can look sexy, but I don’t think of myself as a person that is.”

3. She Doesn’t Let Things Get To Her

Minaj opened up about being in both the music industry and in the public eye in her Interview Magazine piece. She says that she is working on not letting things get to her. “As women, people always assume that they can play with you, for lack of a better term, and I just can’t have that. I have to leave something behind because we work hard. Yo, this industry, it takes so much out of you mentally, man. And to do all of this and then not have anything to show for it? I refuse.”

4. She Takes Breaks

Minaj has a busy schedule. For this reason, taking breaks is something that is important to her. “I started taking my little hiatuses from the internet where I just disengage,” she told Interview Magazine. “Because you can’t read everything, you can’t respond to everything. And guess what? There are people in your home who actually love you. And sometimes you just have to say, ‘Do you know what? Goodbye, I’m going to give back the love to the people that’s actually really giving me love, and that’s going to be there for me in real life, and bye to everyone else.’ For young artists, just know that there are no rules. You can take time for yourself and for your mental health.”

5. She Wants To Inspire Others

Minaj wants to use her celebrity status to encourage other women, specifically black women. “There’s always been a lack of representation for Black women,” she told i-D. “As soon as you start becoming famous, you owe it to the entire culture to say things that other Black women can repeat to make themselves feel great. When you grow up and you’re only seeing people that look a certain way on the covers of magazines, in the movies and on TV, you can start feeling, ‘Am I not good enough?’ It comes from performing as well. Once you see the look on people’s faces when they’re singing your lyrics back to you, and the confidence and happiness they’re having, it makes you want to always empower girls to feel, ‘Yo, I don’t need a guy for anything. I can put my mind to anything I need to do, and do it just as well as the men on my own.’”
