Nicki Minaj MAYBE got engaged without you, but let’s reflect for a moment on this top notch year in Nicki Minaj news.
The woman has long been a model citizen, but she really wooed the masses this year, and we’re better for it. As Lizzo told us, “Nicki Minaj is someone with a voice, and she has her butt, and her boobs, and that’s just different. People aren’t used to that, and I think that’s important, and I’m excited.” Us too. Her confidence levels are just so poisonously good. (Though, she has admitted that she doesn’t always feel as confident as Nicki Minaj sounds.) But from her real talk about size issues to pioneering glitter butt, here’s a look at her top ten brightest moments of 2015.
1. Before terminating that conversation with the Times with the exit line of the year, she dropped some truth about fly curvier women.
“People are posting pictures of working out, and then there’s a change in their body most likely from plastic surgery, and they say it’s because they were working out! Ah-hahahaha.”…‘‘Back in the day, in hip-hop, the thick girl was glorified. Now the rappers are dating skinny white women. So it’s almost like, ‘Wait a minute, who’s going to tell the thick black girls that they’re sexy and fly, too?’”
2. This magic smirk-producing moment.
Really digging into life.
3. When people shamed others for being “unattractive” in their view, she swiftly recommended they try to acquire a life. (Informing people that life is the key ingredient missing from their “lives” is a task best performed Nicki-style with a shaming collage.)
4. She called out MTV for rewarding only slim bodies on Twitter. 5. And when Miley Cyrus said she wasn’t nice, she fake confronted her about it, but it was refreshingly cathartic to see. 6. She performed “Still I Rise” with purpose and warmth. 7. She ignored Drake’s thirst for her for show.
Thirst-repellant spray should be bottled.
8. She told people to drop the fake butt-secured fame theories. However nasty and unfounded these juvenile accusations may have been, there were deep pockets of sustained prejudice against curvier women here. Silly people, still thinking they can bring down a world-runner who laughs at her own cookie metaphors in Paris with Beyonce by deploying some good old body shame. 9. She owned life in general in Paris with her co-queen Bey.
“Paid sisters.”
10. She closed the year by pioneering glitter butt.
