Nicky's childhood
Onika Tanya Maraj (real name) had a rather difficult childhood. Until the age of 15, the girl was raised by her grandmother in St. James; her mother visited them only on incursions, while simultaneously searching for housing in New York. Nika's father was a drunkard and dabbled in drugs, beat his mother, and once tried to set fire to the house in order to kill his wife.
Due to regular scandals, Nicki Minaj hid from her parents for days and diluted her loneliness by writing poetry. Later, the girl used these lines in her track “Autobiography”.
Music in her childhood included playing the clarinet and trying to enter college in the “Vocal Mastery” class, but the circumstances were not the best - Niki lost her voice that day and was unable to show her vocal abilities to the admissions committee.
Appearance
In another photo, netizens discovered that her navel was covered with something transparent and there are suspicions that breast augmentation surgery was performed using an incision in the navel.
Note that the singer’s face itself also looks different and unnatural. There are no facial wrinkles on her face, it looks unnatural. This effect is only possible thanks to Botex. Nicki always emphasizes her lips with makeup; if you compare photos of the singer before her debut, you can see that now her lips look fuller.
At one of the concerts in New York, Minaj wore leggings with a gold pattern, which gave her butt even more volume. Does this confirm the fact that she really got implants? Minaj also attended a party at a nightclub and casino dressed as a fairy, but the dress was quite revealing. A short white dress with a very deep neckline did not diminish the talk about plastic surgery in the headlines.
Mostly, the controversy continues over her buttocks. Everyone has long become accustomed to lips, busts and noses, while Nicky refutes these allegations in every possible way. The difference between the waist and hips is haunting, especially if you find out that this difference is forty-eight centimeters. However, going back to her old photos, we see a completely different Minaj. After one of the concerts, photographs appeared online showing unnatural curves with implants.
On the way to success
In 2010, Nicki released her fateful debut album “Pink Friday”, before the release she carried out a mini-tour of five cities: the first was her hometown of Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, the remaining four were US cities. After a short time, the singer began to be recognized all over the world; almost 4 million copies of this record were released.
Currently, Nicki Minaj is actively writing albums, traveling around the world with concerts, giving interviews in glossy magazines, traveling and attending social parties.
Evolution: Nicki Minaj
Throughout the spring, we have been watching the events of the promotional tour of the comedy “The Other Woman,” where, in addition to Kate Upton, Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, who played the main roles, rapper Nikki Minaj starred, for whom the film was her first experience of working in a big movie.
Congratulations to the singer on her debut and explore how her style has changed over the years she's been in the spotlight.
year 2009
The images of 31-year-old Minaj are always exotic - as is the place of her birth: Onika Tanya Maraj (this is the real name of the star) was born in the city of Port of Spain, the capital of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
The celebrity’s family cannot be called prosperous: Nikki’s father suffered from alcohol and drug addiction, and once tried to kill her mother by setting fire to the house where they lived.
Minaj herself lived with her grandmother until she was five, and then her mother took her to New York. Since childhood, the girl dreamed of the stage: she played the clarinet in a school ensemble and studied in a theater studio. As the singer says, “acting and boys” distracted her from her studies.
2010
While her acting career did not take off, Minaj worked as a waitress at a cafe called “Red Lobster” in the Bronx, but from there she was scandalously fired for rude treatment of customers. The singer says she has lost her job “at least 15 times” in her life for the same reason.
At the same time, Nikki began to perform rap, joining one of the beginning groups. She posted her songs on her MySpace page and sent them to influential show business figures. The singer was lucky: Fendi, the head of the Brooklyn label Dirty Money, liked her recordings, and he offered her cooperation. Then, by the way, she took the pseudonym Nikki Minaj.
2011
Since then, Nikki has released many successful singles and recorded collaborations with such stars as Britney Spears, Rihanna, Drake, Will.I.Am and David Guetta. Her debut album Pink Friday topped the Billboard chart in 2010, as did its re-release two years later.
As of last year, Minaj had sold more than 5 million albums worldwide. She has won three MTV awards, five Billboard awards and four American Music Awards. Advertising contracts with Nikki were concluded by brands Pepsi, MAC, Adidas.
year 2012
As for Minaj’s style, it was always so extravagant that they began to call her “the black Lady Gaga” - Nikki herself, by the way, did not like this comparison very much.
The singer is often criticized for being too revealing in her outfits, but she has the opposite opinion on this matter:
I decided not to focus on sexuality. I want people - especially young girls - to understand that sexuality alone is not enough in life, there must be something else in you.

Nikki is respected in the fashion world - judging by the fact that Donatella Versace herself invited her to perform at the presentation of the joint Versace and H&M collection, and during New York Fashion Week she watched the shows, sitting in the front row next to Anna Wintour .
The star names Versace, Alexander McQueen and Christian Louboutin as her favorite fashion brands. Let's see how these and other brands fit into her wardrobe.

Personal life
Minaj was looking for her man for a very long time. Nicky was in a relationship with Safari Samuels for 10 years, but he turned out to be not a very decent person. After breaking up with him, the girl announced her engagement to Nick Mill on social networks, but canceled it two months later.
Now Nicky is dating a dark-skinned handsome man, and does not reveal his name. There are only photographs of hand-in-hand walks and subscribers asking “Who is this?”
Personal life of Nicki Minaj
The singer tries not to talk about her personal life.
For a long time there were rumors about her bisexuality. It is known that at the age of 16 the girl had an abortion - she talks about this in the songs “Autobiography” and “All Things Go”. From 2008 to 2014, she was romantically involved with rapper Safaree Samuels. Many songs from the album "Pinkprint" show the ins and outs of their relationship, in particular the song "Bed of Lies". The young man stated the following about the reasons for the breakup: “I just packed my things and left. I realized that she didn’t respect me.”

Then the singer was credited with an affair with rapper Drake, however, apparently, they are just good friends.
From 2015 to 2021, Minaj's boyfriend was rap artist Meek Mill, who was 5 years younger than her. Soon after the relationship began, he proposed to Nicky. As stated in the media, the reason for the breakup was the unpreparedness of the guy, who also had serious problems with the law, for family life.
Nicki Minaj admitted that she regrets her relationship with Meek Mill
After this, for several months the singer dated a rapper under the pseudonym Nas. They had known each other for a long time, and even kissed in the video for Minaj’s song “Right By My Side.” In November 2021, Nicki Minaj's brother, Jelani, was sentenced to prison. He was accused of regularly raping his 11-year-old stepdaughter. The man's lawyers insisted that the case was fabricated by his ex-wife and the victim's mother in order to blackmail his wealthy sister. However, the court handed down a strict guilty verdict - 25 years in prison (initially the prosecutor requested life imprisonment).

Was there plastic surgery?
First of all, fans are concerned about the naturalness of the buttocks. Niki had voluminous hips from her youth, but in recent years their volume has increased significantly; our experts do not associate this factor with general weight gain. In the photo after, the implant is clearly visible - most likely gluteoplasty was performed.
The next plastic surgery was mammoplasty. At the beginning of her career, Minaj was a size two, now we see a full size four. In addition, the singer began to increasingly perform in revealing outfits with an open neckline.
As for rhinoplasty, in the photo after it was more likely the skillful application of the sculptor and highlighter than the hand of the surgeon - the shape of the nose did not change, the wings remained wide. With a curvaceous figure and outstanding talent, Minaj is unlikely to care about such a trifle as her nose.
In addition to changes in her body, the girl likes to change her looks; a dark bob can suddenly change into bright strands. Only the style of clothing remains unchanged - bright, extravagant outfits, unusual accessories and catchy makeup - Nicki Minaj's calling card.
The star herself denies the presence of plastic surgery, and managers claim that the matter is due to the weight gained in recent years. In any case, Niki herself decides how to look and what operations to do, and we can only watch the singer’s life.

When was breast surgery performed?
In recent years, Nicki Minaj's transformations have been discussed in the press more actively than her work. When a few years ago the star first appeared in public with her new curves, they wrote about her: “Nicki was amazing! Plastic surgery of the breasts and buttocks is a bold, but long-awaited step!”
Although after this a lot of deafening criticism rained down on her. Many on social media condemned her for choosing implants that were too large.
“She looks like a blow-up doll. She has no taste,” they wrote about her.
“What happened to Nicki Minaj? She must be crazy? It doesn't suit her. Bring back the old Niki!”
The most beautiful part of a woman is her soul. Well, and breasts, of course.

Therefore, it’s simply a crime not to talk about singers who have not only remarkable talent, but also this part of the body.
And we won’t hide them from you - here they are, and also their hot photos from Instagram.
