Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill's (very sexy) joint photoshoot for GQ's October issue was accompanied by a (even more sexy) joint interview for the magazine. In the pics, they counted money in the back of a car and pushed off faux paparazzi, a mirror of their strange lives together in fame. In the interview, however, they bounce down-to-earth, loving remarks off one another. Like, Nicki admits that she adores kissing Meek, saying, "I love the way his lips feel."

When asked how he got Nicki Minaj to fall in love with him, Meek couldn't muster up an response other than to "be you." It is then that Nicki tosses up a pretty slick, "What'd you like about me?" There's a 90% chance she was batting her eyelashes. We can imagine he was staring into Minaj's soul as he told GQ this:

That you was a hustler. That you were doing your thing. A lot of people coming up. People don't really have a girlfriend that's doing more than them or the same thing. I like girls that hustle. She a boss. She's pretty as fuck. Bad as shit. Ambitious. What else do you want?
