Nicki Minaj made a major decision following her appearance at the 2022 Met Gala. In a new ‘Life in Looks’ video for Vogue, the ‘Barbie World’ rapper revealed that wearing the Burberry clothes – which featured a bustier that enhanced the cleavage, a pair of leather pants and a ruffled tail – “solidified” her choice to “minimize” her breasts.

I did my rehearsals, I told them I liked this hat and I liked what the outfit gave off, but I said, “Guys, look, this chest is going to ‘explode’, ‘overflow’,” she remembers saying before appearing on the red carpet.

On the cover of Vogue in November, the artist confirmed that she recently had breast reduction surgery.

“I guarantee you, if you change something about your body, you’re going to — most likely, not definitely, most likely — look back one day and say, ‘I was fine the way I was,'” Minaj shared.

“And that happened to me. I was seeing pictures of myself that I didn’t like,” she pointed out. Minaj added that the arrival of her 3-year-old son, “Papa Bear,” changed her perception of herself.

“I think the pregnancy may have played a part because seeing my son really reminded me so much of myself. My real self. But seeing old photos, being able to look at old photos again made me realize, ‘These old photos are beautiful.'”
