Today we had an exclusive chance to interview Chrissy Minajj:
ARN: How did you come up with a stage name?
Chrissy Minajj: I came up with my stage name from mad different things but the main one was that one day in the studio I was recording the song and I needed to open the bar and this was back on my name with some weird shit and I was like yo as a joke I’m a say “Chrissy Minajj Yeah I’m back at it” and that shit just stuck because everyone started calling me that.
ARN: Where are you from?

ARN: Why did you first start making music?
Chrissy Minajj: I started making music because I always loved music and wrote but I never took it serious, I used to just freestyle with friends and make songs on iPhone apps and shit but one day I decided to try managing my rapper friends Who were taking it serious and One Day I Was Cooling with My Producer Friend Blasé And he was like “you got the perfect voice for rapping” so I just started rapping.
ARN: Who would you say inspired you the most, as an artist?

ARN: Talk me through your creative process.
Chrissy Minajj: My creative process just be going to the studio and if a beat gets played that I like I just start writing or start freestyling on it. Writing at somewhere besides the studios sucks sometimes Bc you don’t really know how you gonna sound on a beat.
ARN: Have you heard the theory that some musicians write their best music while they’re depressed or going through a bad time?
