Chart-topping rapper Nicki Minaj has often faced conjecture about potential cosmetic surgery throughout her career, as her fans have keenly observed noticeable transformations in her physique over time.
Recently, the "Barbie Tingz" star piqued fan interest with a stunning new look presented on Instagram, coinciding with the tease of her upcoming collaboration with Ice Spice on "Barbie The Movie" official soundtrack.
In her Instagram showcase, the artist appeared sporting playful, beaded pigtails and makeup reminiscent of the iconic Barbie doll, complete with accentuated lashes and eyeliner. The look was made whole with her characteristic "Barbie" pendant.
In another clip, the ex-"American Idol" judge paraded in a simple white tank top, revealing what appeared to be a reduction in her chest size. This shift triggered fan speculation about a possible breast reduction surgery. The rapper seemed to tacitly affirm these conjectures in a tongue-in-cheek comment, posting, "New boobs who dis?"
Minaj, renowned in the rap scene since her career's explosive growth in 2010, has often been recognized not only for her unique musical style but also for her fashion choices that highlight her prominent posterior.
The artist touched on this topic during her guest appearance on "The Joe Budden Podcast" last year, affirming she chose to enhance her figure with injections rather than surgery. Minaj attributed her decision to her time spent in Atlanta with fellow rapper Lil Wayne, who is known for his affinity for fuller figures. As reported by Mirror UK, Minaj admitted feeling incomplete and lacking without a more pronounced silhouette.
While her physical transformation has caught fans' attention, her upcoming work with Ice Spice on "Barbie World" is the main reason for anticipation. Minaj and Ice Spice, having previously collaborated on the remix of "Princess Diana," are ready to enthrall fans once again.
The artist's recent Instagram post included a sneak peek of their new track, which intriguingly features samples from Aqua's timeless hit, "Barbie Girl." Fortunately for eager fans, the wait will be short, as Minaj announced the song would be streamable from June 23, 2023, ahead of the previously expected July 21 release.
For those who want to stay ahead, the track is currently up for pre-add and pre-save across major music platforms.
