She's so self centered in this interview, don't even deny it stans.

Wow.

How exactly is Nicki being arrogant in this interview?

She said that she feels she's set the bar too high for herself. You guys are saying the SAME exact thing about her every time you bring up that gotdamn Monster verse. Why are you mad that Nicki's being honest?

Why do they contradict themselves so?

Considering half of her new album consists of records thrown out by JLO, and resurrected by Nicki via RedOne ball fondling.
Shocking.

she needs to stop

You know I'm referring to the general consensus in my definition of pop music; pretending to be oblivious won't win your argument. I can't split hairs anymore.

Along with other sources, the Washington Post is as general as general gets. You tried making his argument seem pointless when there are actually more facts supporting what he said that what you said.

You know what? Good on her.. What she said was right. People need to lay off Nicki. It's her life, her music. If you don't like it, don't listen.

Noooo...

She was called one of the world's biggest popstars in the UK a few weeks ago. That's what she's quoting.
