Nicki Minaj Goes For Natural Look As She Covers Elle. Speaks On Being Bullied As A Kid & Gives Advice To Women On How To Command Respect [Photo Shoot Inside]

 

Pics After The Jump

 

It's very rare to catch Nicki Minaj without her signature pink lipstick and long eyelashes. The Young Money star decided to go for a more natural look in her new photo shoot for the April issue of Elle magazine, which goes on sale on March 18th.

 

Check out an excerpt from Nicki's cover story with James Patrick Herman for the publication and her photo shoot with Thomas Whiteside below.

 

On her dramatic make-under for her ELLE photo shoot: "When I saw myself with barely any makeup at, it was such a… like, I'm so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it's hard. I feel that it's become a part of me. To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol' crazy lashes— you know, nothing— I felt naked. It was scary! So this photo shoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes."

On experiencing bullying in school as a child: "I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough. So I've always put up this wall— it was a self-defense mechanism growing up— because I was almost expecting people to attack me. And I still have it. It's sad."

Her advice for women on how to command respect: "My advice to women in general: Even if you're doing a nine-to-five job, treat yourself like a boss. Not arrogant, but be sure of what you want— and don't allow people to run anything for you without your knowledge. You want everyone to know, Okay, I can't play games with her. I have to do right by this woman. That's what it's all about."

 

On her plans for world domination: "My goal in the beginning was to buy my mother a house. Now I realize, Okay, if I really focus and become a key player in business, then I can build an empire. I'm thinking of a legacy that I can be proud of and wealth that my grandchildren can use to go to college. So world domination— in terms of providing for my family— is absolutely my goal."

This isn't natural guys she's still freaking blonde she wasn't born blonde that isn't natural and plus her face is still photoshopped... What makes it worse we don't know if that a** or breasts are even real. But at least the lips and lashes are a start
