Last week Nicki Minaj disclosed that she received Butt Injections from some “random” person. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now she describes her choice as “insane.”
Nicki explains before she was famous she had not had any plastic surgery. She had never seen a plastic surgeon but had “ass shots,” in what she describes as an impulsive decision. Her decision was fueled in general by rap culture’s focus on having a big booty and more specifically by comments made by the people in her life.
The Dream of a Rounder Butt
I really enjoyed Nicki’s frank and honest explanation of the pressures she faced as an up and coming artist. She shares the struggles with personal growth and the creative process. The hour and 45 minute podcast is linked in today's blog post.
It is interesting to hear the queen, a recognized mogul of rap, describe the same personal issues we all deal with growing up and trying to make a living. The pressure to succeed and create, and the need for family and children. She reflects back on how comments/teasing made about her booty made her more conscious of these insecurities and fueled her drive to seek a larger buttock in an era before Brazilian Butt Lifts were an option.
