Nicki Minaj confirms She Got a Breast Reduction, reveals Lil Wayne used to joke about her body
In a recent Instagram post promoting her new “Barbie World” song, 40-year-old Nicki Minaj revealed she underwent breast reduction surgery.
“New boobs who dis?” she wrote in the comment section of the post, which featured her lip-syncing along to her and Ice Spice’s song from the upcoming Barbie film’s soundtrack.
Last year, according to Page Six, Minaj revealed her desire to downsize her breasts during an Instagram Live.
“I’m not gonna lie, somebody did tell me to get my boobs taken off, like a female in the industry,” she said in May 2022. “And I was like, ‘No, no, not yet, not yet.’ And yeah, she was right. I should’ve hurried up and took them off.”
Also, during an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Nicki revealed that she went under the knife because her colleague, Rapper Lil Wayne used to mock her body and make her feel inferior.
She claimed that each time Wayne brought a different endowed lady to the studio, they frequently discussed their bodies, which made her feel out of place.
According to her, the reason it hurt her was because the jokes came from Lil Wayne, who is someone she looked up to when she was just coming up in the industry.
Nicki claimed that she was led to believe that the Hip Hop culture expected women to have large busts and curvy bodies.
She stated that even though Wayne was just teasing her, she took it seriously but he had no idea that what he said bothered and triggered her decision to undergo a BBL Surgery.
Nicki isn’t the only rapper to undergo breast reduction surgery recently. Earlier this year, Doja Cat had the same procedure done along with liposuction.
“I’m literally about to get surgery this winter lmao,” she initially announced last November. “I just want my titties pulled up cuz some of my tops don’t fit the way i want them to.”
In March, Doja revealed she had undergone the surgery and was recovering.
“Got my titties done and my clit bedazzled,” she tweeted, before replying to a fan: “4 days into recovery rn. feels ok. i got lipo so my thighs hurt a lot if i move too much. but im healing really fast.”
