How did Nicki Minaj look before surgery? Learn all there is to know about how the “Queen” rapper looked before she became a star.
Nicki Minaj is one of the best rappers in the game according to many hip-hop fans. The “Super Bass” rapper is known for influencing many younger rappers in the music industry, as well as the incredible amount of surgery she has had. Naturally, many netizens ask how Minaj looks before the surgery. As it turns out, we have all the answers.
Minaj’s debut album, Pink Friday (2010), topped the US Billboard 200 chart; its single “Super Bass” reached number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified diamond by the RIAA. The follow-up album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012) explored dance-pop and debuted atop the Billboard 200, with its lead single “Starships” peaking in the top five worldwide. Her third album, The Pinkprint (2014), explored more personal topics and marked a return to her hip-hop roots. It was after the Pinkprint that Minaj embraced her stardom.
Soon, fans started to notice a stark difference in how Minaj looked before and after. It was then when rumours of Minaj getting plastic surgery reached their peak, and the “Queen” rapper has since acknowledged herself getting surgery done as well. Throughout her career, her physique, notably her buttocks, has attracted significant attention from the media. Early in her career, she made autographing breasts part of her movement to empower women.
In 2010, she said that although she originally felt obligated to mimic the provocative behavior of the “female rappers of [her] day”, she intended to subdue her sexuality because she “[wants] people—especially young girls—to know that in life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You’ve got to have something else to go with that.” Honest as ever, Minaj spoke about getting surgery and how it helped her.
How much plastic surgery has Nicki Minaj gone through?
Minaj has had large amounts of plastic surgery over the years. Naturally, fans of the “Princess Diana” artist have wondered whether her booty is all hers or if she had injections to enhance her physique. Not only that, but others have even speculated whether she underwent other forms of plastic surgery, such as a nose job.
In April 2018, Nicki faced a round of criticism from fans, one of whom accused her of having a fake body shape in a tweet. “Isn’t your body fake?’” the Twitter user wrote, to which Nicki clapped back, “[You] can’t even show your whole face. Must suck to be so jealous, miserable, insecure [and] ugly.” Five years later, the Grammy winner showed off the results of a breast reduction in a June 2023 Instagram post promoting her song “Barbie World” for the Barbie movie.
Nicki wore a white tank top, revealing her smaller chest and noted in the caption, “New b*obs who dis?” The rapper had previously shared during a May 2022 Instagram Live that she was considering the procedure, telling fans, “I’m not gonna lie, somebody did tell me to get my b*obs taken off, like a female in the industry. And I was like, ‘No, no, not yet, not yet.’ And yeah, she was right. I should’ve hurried up and took them off.”
What else has Nicki Minaj said about undergoing plastic surgery?
Nicki Minaj has been open about undergoing cosmetic surgery lately. Last month, she shared a throwback video from 15 years ago on her Instagram page. In the video, which can be seen below, Nicki Minaj is posing while a photographer takes pictures of her at a photoshoot. She wears a form-fitting gold top. Her bust is much smaller than its current status. “25 never looked better,” the 40-year-old rapper captioned the post. “No surgery. No wigs. Just a brand new Colgate smile.”
Nicki Minaj recently confirmed she got breast reduction surgery after her bosom ballooned following the birth of her son in 2020. “Nature did what they had to do for Papa Bear,” Nicki Minaj told City Girls’ JT on Instagram Live in June, in reference to breastfeeding her son. “It’s no way your b*obs right now are still able to look like that and be all sexy and cute and stuff like that in your dresses. Trust me. You did not have the size that I had.”
“If tell you the size…Do you wanna hear the size that they were?” Nicki continued. “Oh, triple E. So, trust me, boo boo. You didn’t have the kind I had because you would have been doing the same thing I did.” The “Chun-Li” rapper also teased her plans that same month at the Met Gala when she admitted to having a wardrobe malfunction with her Burberry gown by Riccardo Tisci.
