Nicki Minaj, the reigning queen of rap, is making waves as she graces the cover of Vogue magazine ahead of her much-anticipated studio album, “Pink Friday 2.” Dressed in a stunning cream Valentino couture gown, Minaj’s style steals the spotlight.
While Minaj has previously adorned the covers of Vogue’s Arabian and Japanese editions in 2018 and 2019, her debut on the US Vogue cover in the December issue is a significant moment. Celebrating her 15 years of dominance in the rap scene, Minaj sat down with Vogue to discuss her new album, the challenges of fame, and the joys and pressures of raising her 3-year-old son, affectionately known as “Papa Bear” (though his birth name remains undisclosed).

Beyond her music, Minaj, often seen as an icon of “body positivity” for women of color with curves, shares a more personal side. “I just looked at a video that I posted on Instagram when I was 25, and I would pay to look like that right now,” she admits. However, Minaj stresses the importance of self-acceptance, expressing contentment with her present self.
In a candid moment, Minaj reveals her recent breast reduction surgery, expressing love for her transformed physique. “I used to want a bigger butt, and now I look back and realize how silly that was,” she says, advocating for embracing one’s body, whether curvy or not.
Minaj leaves us with a powerful message, “When you look around and try to keep yourself in a grateful frame of mind, the things that you can be thankful for seem to start adding up. It’s just about finally being happy with who you are as opposed to where you are.”
