Now I love me some Nicki Minaj, without all the costumes and goofy faces, she's really talented, but wtf is this shit? Is she fucking serious? Her "Pink Friday" promo shots were more high fashion and cuter than these. SHE LOOKS LIKE A DAMN FOOL! Like... this is so humiliating. The shots with the paint on her face don't even look like her! I would have never known it was her if no one had said it was. This is the ugliest I've seen her and she looks like a damn racist clown! I am very disappointed in her... why would she go through with this? It's funny because I find these more disturbing than her KING magazine shots, which weren't bad, because her face just looks like a damn racist cartoon character! You don’t see Rihanna’s Caribbean ass doing shots like these. She needs to think thoroughly sometimes. With that said, she is in V magazine, a high fashion magazine! To be honest, Elle, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and other high fashion magazines lost all creditability with me when they had bubblegum music artists such as Rihanna, Beyonce, and even “Precious” on the cover, and featured a bunch of actresses instead of real high fashion models, but still… this female has a strong ass management and publicist team, especially being a hip-hop rapper!
