All hail the Queen!
Check out this snap of Nicki Minaj rocking the cover W Magazine, sporting what can only be described as a ‘royal’ look shot by Francesco Vezzoli.
More shots from the shoot and why the artist described the Rapper as one of the history’s ‘most powerful women’ below…
The famed artist explained:
I wanted to play with the public image of a female hip-hop star.
In her performances, Minaj makes very explicit and challenging use of her beauty and her body, so I thought of comparing her to some of the most famous courtesans in history: the Marquise de Montespan, Comtesse du Barry, Madame de Pompadour, and Madame Rimsky- Korsakov.
During my entire career, I have always been fascinated by powerful women in history.

“During my entire career, I have always been fascinated by powerful women in history.”
I love Nicki, but this quote is strange to me. Your “entire” career? “Always?” You’re just getting started, boo!
DOB,she just started in mainstream but nicki was underground for years doing her thing,seems you only knows mainstream nicki.
I’m telling you,
Mainstream audience (you know who I’m referring to) see something in Onika that WE brothers & sisters don’t see AT ALL !
Oh well, whatever rocks your boat, “lady”.
I believe it was the photographer not Nicki who said the entire career comment, it wouldn’t make sense any other way.
Anyway Go Nicki!
I know she’s just warming up for Vogue.
The shoot sounds like it’ll be very interesting.
i loves this pic,i think i,ll make a stanley move and hang this portrait on my wall,man nicki really knows how to switch it up like a Camilion,she is so versatile,keep doing your thing nicki.
Yeah the entire career comment was indeed the artist, not Nicki.
MISHKA because we have this crab in a bucket mentality that must of us cant control,and that,s a fact,some of us don’t like to see our black sistas and brathas do good.
She is a terrible model. I saw the whole shoot and her eyes stayed bugging out her head. smh
her “entire career” she has always been fascinated by Lil kim…dont front b****..i like nicki but dont ..just dont
l am impatient about the VOGUE COVER 🙄
Do you Nicki,cant stand her fake us but l respect her hustle.Cant wait to see her dissapear tho 😕
…so folks are really going to be that confused about this quote?
Francessca said the quote not Nicki.
It’s not even that hard to follow.
This kim s*** should stop Nicki is way better than her and that’s it I don’t care if your dad f***** you 2 hardcore get over it
The quotes are what the author said everyone #SitYoAssDown
Those That Cannot Do, Stan….they know who made that quot,they are just flinging anything on the wall in the hopes of it sticking to knock nicki,they just loves to act the fool when it comes to nicki minaj.
Illuminati.
She looks like a damn fool.
Drag Queen.
Greg how in gods hearth did you mange to stand up right,and it,s not you alone it,s a long line.
Yes nicki we all know you are VERY fascinated by Lil’ Kim among others.. just come out and say it already !
Malibu Barbie you are never far away do you,you are always hearing things in your little fantasy land,nicki didn’t say such things over here in the real world ok.
@RDK
Oh I know it. Either that or folks are really simple, lol.
Just waiting for Nicki’s ‘biggest fans’ to show up, lol, you know they’ll be here shortly. Surprised they didn’t post first.

MaZ get off here you ignorant,it,s people like you that makes others look at black as some dumb fu-cks.
