“Cameron Diaz answering toxic questions with kindness and politeness while still setting boundaries. Amazing. 👏🏻”
Cameron Diaz is being praised after a resurfaced clip of her shutting down a journalist’s “microaggression” against rapper Nicki Minaj went viral on TikTok. For reference, Cameron and Nicki worked together on the 2014 movie “The Other Woman,” which was also the rapper’s live-action acting debut.
Minaj has a brief supporting role as Lydia in the comedy, who is an assistant to Diaz’s character, Carly, and Diaz was asked about her experience working with Minaj in the resurfaced interview.
In the clip, which was filmed on a red carpet, the reporter begins her interview with Diaz by asking: “How terrifying is Nicki Minaj in real life?”
“Oh my god, not at all,” Diaz immediately replies. “She’s the sweetest. She came to our set and she was so fantastic, she was so prepared, she was so dynamic. She delivered literally like this, like, immediately, and we were like: ‘Right on!’”
“And she was so sweet!” the star continues. “She was so humble. She’d flown in the night before from some awards show, went straight to set, got ready, and came to set — she was all business.”
