Nicki Minaj Wants to Change Her Image for Her Third Album

Nicki Minaj wears a super revealing top while posing next to two colorful poodles in this new feature for GQ‘s November 2014 issue, on newsstands October 28.

Here is what the 31-year-old rapper had to share with the mag:

On wanting to change her image: “I always thought that by the time I put out a third album, I would want to come back to natural hair and natural makeup. I thought, I will shock the world again and just be more toned down. I thought that would be more shocking than to keep on doing exactly what they had already seen.”

On why there is no hidden meaning in the “Anaconda” video: “I don’t know what there is to really talk about. I’m being serious. I just see the video as being a normal video. I think the video is about what girls do. Girls love being with other girls, and when you go back to us being younger, we would have slumber parties and we’d be dancing with our friends.”

FYI: Nicki is wearing a Sergio Hudson skirt.
