Nicki Minaj: V Magazine Spread!

Nicki Minaj pairs a green Versace dress with tribal face paint in this spread for V magazine’s latest issue.

“I just always want to do ‘me,’ but ‘me’ changes every day,” Nicki, 26, shared. “I would crumple up and die if I had to wake up and be the same person every day. I don’t silence those voice anymore. I just let them speak.”

“I’m an entertainer – I like to make people laugh,” Nicki added. “Some will hate it and some will love it, but all will remember it. And that’s what I want: to be remembered. Even if I’m saying something hard-core or controversial, there’s always a touch of humor, and if you don’t like it, it means I’m stirring things up inside of you.”
