Cop a gander of Nicki Minaj on the cover of Elle Magazine‘s July issue!
The rapper is staging quite the takeover this week.
For, beyond the striking shoot – which was shot by and features Karl Lagerfeld, Onika has unleashed new song ‘Rich Sex’ and is gearing up to drop Ariana Grande collaboration ‘Bed’ tomorrow.
All sees the femcee cook up the perfect storm of buzz for her hotly anticipated forth studio album ‘Queen’ (which arrives August 10th).
More of Ms. Minaj awaits after the jump…
Slayed!
That said, the real test ahead will be for a slay on the charts. Are you rooting for Nicki this go round?

regardless the move… she’s done 🙁
lmao you wish bishhh, i guarantee she’ll outsell corni’s streaming ass in ONE DAY lmfaoooooo
Cardi has you and your fave shooK. Deal with it, sis.
Ummm……the pic of the darkerskinned chick behind with the cornrows, lifting Nicki’s long white woman hair off the ground is rather disturbing…
Girl it’s just her hairstylist combing her bundles. Stop trying to make fetch happen
And they made her black-face…….
Hey face in the pic has me dead ?
I felt the same.
Thats Kim Kimble in the pic. She is responsible for Nicki’s wig. Do your research. Duh
That’s Kim Kimble, the celebrity hair stylist who made the wig
Lol did they put her in blackface? She’s maddddd chocolate !! I know she’s PISSED seeing that.
bORING IM SORRY!
Was a pretty good interview. Ready to head this ‘Bed’ song.
It’s going to be “beg for it”/“side to side” part two. Same ol same
Hopefully it’ll be a little updated since those songs are from years ago but we’ll see.
None of Nicki’s new music is updated and ari’s latest single isn’t exactly a big change so idk why you’d think there’d be a big change.
She looks out of place in every single photo.
@Meme – Liar
#Hateful Beyotch
Beautiful cover. I can’t believe someone said she’s done. How can you be done with songs still charting on the billboard? Upcoming tour? New album? People asking you to feature on their songs? The list of current accomplishments goes on and on. Cardi B didn’t end anyone’s career, and she sure as hell did not take the crown.
Everyone doesn’t suck Nicki Minaj d*** as you do!!
I have receipts. Do you?
@Hoodrat- Preach!
Fiiiiiialy something different and fresh from her. That cover is gorgeous, she did that. Now let’s hope the music can follow..
Done Li looks great on the cover ??
Give it up Onika, you look like a man!
Keep throwing out songs until one sticks does NOT equates to a QUEEN. If you were the queen you would’ve be struggling to find a hit.
*wouldn’t be struggling
You make no damn sense. She looks nothing like a man. You must be thinking of Remy Ma or something…Also technically Chun Li was a hit. Who else is doing what she’s doing right now other than Cardi B? No one…especially after being in the game so many years. Get over your hating ass self.
Chun Li was not a hit.. lol @ technically. Nobody is checking for Chun Li. It fizzled almost before it was released and nobody will ever be revisiting again- EVER
@Jasmine – Lies. Chun- Li went Gold dear and solidified her 30th top ten single.
#Straight Facts
Okay New York Tiffany Pollard lol
Chun Li was in the billboard top 10, and it’s been on the billboard top 100 since. I don’t know of any other female rappers other than Cardi B even on the billboard. It’s also all over the radio. How can no one be checking for it when people are clearly listening to it and buying it? Once again, you make no damn sense.
@Hoodrat Girl, we are talking about “NICKI MINAJ”. She has NEVER charted higher that Cardi B’s biggest single which is “Bodak Yellow” and NEVER will. She struggling and her reign is almost over. Just deal with it, she had a nice run.
How are you going to base someone’s success on 1 single? Yeah, Cardi B may have a #1, but Nicki Minaj has a #2 and several top 10s. Someone’s reign doesn’t end because someone else has a song that charts higher than them. You add it all together and Cardi B has a long way to go before she tops all of Nicki Minaj’s accomplishments.
Hovering at the bottom of charts after a front loaded one week and SUPER DUPER drop 2nd week isn’t not a hit. It’s premature ejácülátïon. Lmfao
#2 IS NOT #1. Almost doesn’t count. Recoup and try again, hon.
@Jasmine – Then I guess Cardi got ej@culated on then since HER album was number one the 1st week and then DROPPED to #2 when Jason Aldean dropped his album. Cardi’s sales (streams) went down to 25k. Oh and it’s not like Cardi has been ej@culated on before being that she use to strip and all.
#Facts
Why is she wearing blackface tho ?♂️
Her interview was good read even though the interviewer was trying to be messy and start up the whole Nicki vs. Cardi thing again. I can’t wait for the album preorder tomorrow as well. Nicki knows what she’s doing and I do believe this will be her best album. The only people throwing shade are people who clearly never liked Nicki to begin with so why are you even here lol
To remind y’all of your s***** taste in music ?♂️
The cover is nice, now on to the bad! The makeup issa complete no, very oily and off in color. How does your wig have split ends? Why is your wig not flat ironed, instead of looking like you pulled it straight out the box and jumped in designer clothes? This is a bit boring and she is not commanding in any of these photos! As far as her new music, it’s been OK…but as much trash as she talks OK isn’t good enough!!! This album name needs a DEMOTION from QUEEN to DUTCHESS!
She is threatened by Cardi’s success so she is shoving this QUEEN title in everyone’s face. Like girl, stop throwing out random songs to see what will stick and admit you can’t make a hit anymore like you used to.
Not a demotion lmaoooo ?
@Mel – The “wig” doesn’t have split it. The hair isn’t trimmed bluntly as to make it look more REAL. If you were Native American or Hindu you would know the look that the stylist is going for as I’ve seen plenty of 100% Native or Hindu women with hair JUST LIKE THAT nearly down to the ground and NO it’s not perfectly trim (as in showing a line).
#It’s A Cultural Thing
#You Wouldn’t Understand That
Say less it’s a flop thing I understand that
The queen looks so regal and beautiful here ?❤️?
Where’s all the people who was saying she bleached her skin ? Did she unbleach and get a tan ? Cmon be consistent at least.
She obviously has excessively dark makeup on… she’s maadddddd dark skinned- that’s as unnatural as her bleached look
Dame Onika Maraj. Shine girl. shine. BYE 2 the haterz tho, none of u even buy albums, so…she don’t need u!
You mad, doggie? You mad, doggie? Hahaha, irr!
Nice photos.
queen Nicki looking beautiful as usual, wonderful interview too.
