After taking customers' orders, the Trinidadian beauty would 'write raps on my order notepad about what they said or what they were wearing.'

AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj used to write raps in between taking orders when she was working as a waitress.

The Trinidadian-American rapper is now one of the most successful names in the hip-hop world, having released her fourth studio album Queen last month.

However, before Nicki made it in the music industry she took on a number of waitressing gigs, and she has now shared that she used to pen lyrics on the job.

"In the restaurant where I was a waitress, I would go to someone's table to take the orders and before I got their bread, I'd write raps on my order notepad about what they said or what they were wearing," she recalled to Vogue Arabia. "I always thought, 'I'm going to get the hell out of this joint, stop waitressing, and become a big superstar.'"

Nicki has been tapped to cover the September issue of the fashion publication, with the photoshoot marking the first time she has appeared on Vogue.

And in addition to speaking to editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut about her rise through the ranks of the music industry to become an international star, she also reflected on some of the lows of her career and the way in which online rumours have taken their toll on her personally.

"I think anybody who says they don't care about horrible things being said about them or lies being spread about them are not being truthful," the 35-year-old sighed. "I'm a human being and of course it bothers me when I read lies or horrendous things about myself... I took time to create something for my fans that I knew was going to be perfection."
