Nicki Minaj Covers VIBE Magazine Feb-Mar 2012
After performing “Roman Holiday” on Grammy Awards 2012, Nicki returns to the cover of VIBE magazine for their February/March issue. Nicki Minaj goes insane with VIBE’s Senior Editor Clover Hope about where her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded fits into the pop and hip hop landscapes. She also talking about her plans on taking over the fashion world, the evolution of her Young Money label mate Drake. Ok guys, let you read an excerpt below.
You were heavy on the fashion scene last year around Fashion Week with Anna Wintour. Do you feel like you’ve been accepted by the fashion world?
Yeah, I realized more recently that even if it’s for a fashion magazine, I’m not gonna change who I am. When I was doing photo shoots last year, I kept on being told, “This is what we want your hair to look like and this is what we want you to look like,” and it really, really stifled my creativity. So the other day I was talking to a photographer, and he said, “You know what, I like your everyday looks so much better than when you do photo shoots for magazines.” And I was like, “So do I, you’re absolutely right.” I’d been getting more and more frustrated for a while.But I’ve made up my mind that when you see a Nicki Minaj magazine cover from now on, it’s really going to reflect me and it’s going to be something that I creatively had a hand in, because I don’t have to do it anymore. I don’t have to do things just to please people. It’s okay to do what I love because what I love, my fans love. And they’re really the only ones that should matter. The fashion world will have to come to Nicki Minaj, as opposed to Nicki Minaj trying to go to the fashion world.
