‘Paper’ Magazine sure knows how to get tongues wagging.
After stopping traffic and a few hearts with their now infamous 2014 Kim Kardashian shoot and following that with a full frontal spread of an eagle-spread ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star Milan Christopher, the mag looks to break the internet again with none other than self-proclaimed Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj.
Featured with “herself” in a “minaj a trois,” the Grammy nominated star – who involuntarily dominated headlines over the weekend after her brother was found guilty of child rape – has certainly redirected that unwanted attention in a big way.
Posing ever so seductively for the publication’s ‘winter issue,’ fans of the Harajuku Barbie saw her sliding down their social media timelines like never before just moments ago when the mag cover was released. Giving new meaning to the TGJ phrase “hot shot,” tuck in below to see the cover in full:
There’s more where that came from. ‘Paper’ promises to unleash the spread in full tomorrow morning. Keep it locked to That Grape Juice to see.
Even ex-boyfriend/rapper Safaree got hot and bothered:
She’s so vulgar.
So tf what! How about all other females do you call them vulgar?
girl.. your fave made a whole ass book about her p****
This is coming from a madonna fan…
ummm she’s a rapper. not a disney princess, numb nuts.
Meh
Desperate times calls for desperate measures
Low brow and desperate
This b*tch HOnika is so desperate. She is panicking. Beyoncé paid tribute to the REAL QUEEN OF RAP Lil’ Kim. Remy paid tribute to Kim and featured her on a song that is going to hit Billboard next week. Cardi B got a #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and showed HOnika up. Her career is over. She could only succeed being the only female in the mainstream. But that’s over. Now she has to resort to pathetic stunts like this for attention.
Bye HOnika. It’s over. Hang it up, flatscreen!
You sound so stupid. Her career is “over” yet she’s on the cover of a mag doing what she’s been doing. You’re pressed. Go support Kim since you live her so much. Fake loving a s s.
The same people who hated her from the beginning for the past eight years and look at where she’s at? the females rappers before can’t even. it’s
All of this is just a distraction used to forget about her child m******* brother and how that album launch plans for this year hasn’t happened due to many disruptions….
HASHTAG: #Eek #SheAPornstarNow :/
You sound so idiotic. You assume this shot was done the other day and printed in time after her brothers case? PRESSED. Worry about Tinashe and if her album will ever see the light of day. Let alone her being on the cover of a magazine
Aww are you upset sweetie?
Thirsty.
Just like you when you came to comment. Go listen to Wake Me Up
Get a life ho. If I think a b|tch is thirsty it has NOTHING to do with you troll. You are on this post attacking EVERYONE with a contrary opinion of the photo than yours is proof that you desperately need a life. Nicki is thirsty and you are thirsty too. Keep running your mouth and I’m sure someone will p|ss in it to quench your thirst ho lol.
PRESSED AND THIRTSY LIKE I SAID C U N T BUCKET. Always commenting on a Nicki post along with the rest of the haters. Girl bye. Keep running your mouth maybe someone will take a sh i t in it.
Not my favorite shot of her because it’s too on the nose. She does however look amazing and oddly enough, I don’t see how people are shocked to see her in this light when sexuality has always been one of the key elements to the Nicki Minaj brand.
I expect plenty of think pieces to be written and plenty of debates to be had about this image before the week is over. If higher visibility before her next era and dominating the news cycle is the goal, she played her hand well.
Just drop a damn album already
Cheap. Her image and brand is so cheap.
I don’t care what ANYONE says. She is looking thotalicious, sextastic and pretty with the long hair don’t care. ????
Why do these girls that act like absolute objects for men complain sometimes about the sexism in the industry???? I don´t get it. Beyonce sufers from this to a point too. But in the case of these rap and hip hop girls is is absolutely appalling. This is a clear case of discriminating advertishment by many countries law. The sad part is that tons of peopel fail to realize the issue this represents.
I think you’re confused. A woman showcasing her sexuality is not simply dropping to her knees for the attention of men. she’s owning herself. you must not know much about men. if you did, you’d know it would not matter if she were clothed or not. men would sexualize her anyway, so is a woman supposed to wear skirts to her ankles and cover up her body and face? or can she celebrate the fact that she is sexual freely, because they were not permitted to for CENTURIES?
See? You are one of those who don´t even realize the issue. You don´t see men doing THIS. There´s a vast difference. And no, if Nicki did this, it was not for women. It is hilarious to believe that. Most of these girls have admitted at some point they have been “forced” to use a more sexual image in order to sell, by the label or by whoever. It´s not about being covered up. If you can´t see the issue you are among the ones that have been successfully brainwashed. Like I said, in many countries there are modern laws who try to stop this damage. Even when Madonna did it, teh lyrics and message had a menaing behind it, and also, she didn´t expose herself as an OBJECT. Nicki, and most of the rap-hip-hop girls, and even people like Beyonce, have done it. Gaga herself admitted long ago that her label wanted her to show more skin around her Fame era, in order to sell. An object, a product.
My internet is working just fine
I know that Paper magazine is about exaggeration but this cover screams too much thirsty, and attention seeking and for all the wrong reasons. There is a way to express exaggeration and s*** with a better game plan then this cheap cover. This is sure to bring Nicki Minaj the respect she has been screaming about lol.
Yeah, I wanna believe they just wanted to be creative, but the whole “break the internet” tagline kinda gives away that they thought this was shocking or attention grabbing… internet isn’t broken, and no one is shocked.
No substance
Everybody saw the Anaconda video, aint nobody shocked. The real question is, will anybody care? I mean homegirl’s wax figure has her ass in the air too.
Let the girl do her thang. Her image has always been cheap and at this point in her career she cant redeem herself. Nobody takes her seriously. Whether shes in a granny dress or sucking d*** shes pretty much just trash. So whatever floats her boat is good for her, much better than being forgotten about. She really needs the attention. She built her career on being trash now she has to keep setting the bar lower to still have a career. Welp
them nobody you claiming doesn’t take her seriously is exactly that nobodies, who’s opinion don’t matter, Nicki is cared about by people who actually matter. so she is all good here.
what do you meaning by self-proclaimed Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj, so if she isn’t in your sights sam then who is?
Everyone KNOWS I can not stand this lil Kim clone but BAAAABAEE SHE SLAYED!!
YOU SUPPORT A CHILD M*******! thats all! Dont forget people!
I’m so sick of these pop, rap women in the industry that was molested by their daddies, brothers and cousin calling themselves Queens, bad bish, and feminist. When you call them out, they try to cover it up with some more garbage. Enough is enough, I guess she got a song about how she is special and some contradictory s*** to stay relevant.
