Nicki Minaj Shows Off Her Curves in V Magazine.You Like?

In the winter edition of V Magazine, out on Nov. 13, Nicki Minaj is firing on all fronts. This images, shot by Mario Testino, feature the rapper in a form-fitting red frock, as well as in a sheer paneled dress by Balmain (similar to the one worn by Kendall Jenner on the Spring/Summer 2015 runway).


Embracing her inner lioness is nothing new for the former American Idol host, who talks about her responsibility as an artist to utilize her self-made empire to encourage other women to do the same. “I always feel it’s important for me to show females that they can be in charge of their own situation,” she tells the mag. “I came into the game creating my own brand. I was doing things very early on that set me apart from people who just took orders and allowed their brand to be created for them. I love women who take control, who set standards, and who believe in themselves enough to lead the way in terms of their career. I’ve done that. When I win and when I lose.”
