Nicki Minaj makes US Vogue cover debut. “I look in my son’s face and my whole soul lights up”.

Hold onto your high-fashion hats, folks! The rap queen herself, Nicki Minaj, is gracing the cover of Vogue, not in just any gown, but in a delicately draped Valentino couture masterpiece. Because when I think of high fashion, I definitely think of the artist behind “Super Bass” draped in cream, don’t you?

Sure, she’s been on the Arabian and Japanese editions of Vogue, but her appearance on the December issue of US Vogue is practically a national holiday. Move over Thanksgiving; Nicki Minaj has arrived stateside in a couture gown to save the day!

In this groundbreaking interview, after a mere 15 years of rap dominance, Nicki spills the tea on her new album, the unbearable pressures of fame (because who wouldn’t want to be famous?), and the struggles and joys of raising her 3-year-old son, affectionately known as “Papa Bear.” Because nothing says “celebrity child” like being dubbed after a cuddly creature.

And let’s not forget Nicki’s profound wisdom on body image: “Love your curves, and love your non-curves. There’s nothing wrong with any of it.” Ah, yes, because we were all just about to hate our curves until Nicki reminded us to embrace the non-curvy glory. Thank you, fashion icon and philosopher, for showing us the light in a cream-colored Valentino gown. You’re a true inspiration to us all!
