Following the success of her “Beam Me Up Scotty” mixtape, Nicki Minaj signed a deal with Lil Wayne‘s Young Money Record label. Her career soared to new heights and opened the doors for her “Pink Friday” album era.
The duo also collaborated on “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” the Re-Up album.
After nearly 20 years in the rap game, the 39-year-old is finally opening up about mistakes she made early on. In a preview clip of Minaj’s interview with Joe Budden, Minaj explained what led to her getting butt injections.
“Social media was just beginning when I started. So I was a lot of people’s guinea pig.
I was the first people to be s—–d on, on the internet. It wasn’t acceptable to have surgery at all or anything and at that time I had never had surgery,” said Nicki. “I had a– shots.”
She admitted the procedure was not done by a “doctor” or “professional.” She also shared she felt pressure from Wayne and others who would “casually” suggest she would get further in her career if she got plastic surgery.
“I kept on being around Wayne and them. You know at that time, Wayne would talk about big booties. Wayne would have a new chick in the studio every session and they were his muses,” said the New York rapper.
The “Pink Print” rapper also admitted that Wayne and others would say things “jokingly” that affected her emotionally.
Another acknowledged, “The influence men really have on us as young individuals is sick. I’m happy she shared this with us. Another countered with, “And this is more common in the entertainment industry than you’d think.”
This marks a rare moment of vulnerability for the rapper who indirectly admitted to having surgery in songs and collaborations such as Big Sean‘s “Dance (A$$).”
Hip-hop lovers will recall a time that Minaj was the only prominent female rapper. Her performance and skills inspired thousands and opened the doors for fellow rap queens such as Saweetie, Kash Doll, Latto, Cardi B and more.
