Nicki Minaj regrets her plastic surgery: ‘I was fine just the way I was’
Nicki Minaj, the 40-year-old rapper, shared regrets about some of her plastic surgery decisions during Thursday’s episode of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast
“I guarantee you, if you change anything on your body and do anything surgical and all this, you’re going to — more than likely, not definitely, more than likely — look back one day and say, ‘I was fine just the way I was,’ ” Minaj told podcast hosts Chioma Nnadi and Chloe Malle.
“And that’s what happened to me,” she said. “I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn’t love.”
During the interview celebrating Minaj’s cover story for Vogue’s November issue, the co-hosts brought up the moment she joined Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour at the Carolina Herrera Show in September 2011.

Minaj admitted that she prefers not to look at older photos of herself because ‘I didn’t like the way I looked.
“I didn’t like being skinny, having a flat butt, you know. Having boobs that didn’t sit high enough. It was a lot of things,” she continued. “And when I look back at myself now, I literally was like, ‘Oh, I’m about to look like that girl again.’
“The reason why I wasn’t able to look back at my old photos was I didn’t like the way I looked, right, physically,” Minaj added. “And now I love the way that person looks physically.”
The rapper explained that her decision to make changes was influenced by her growing public persona. Her passion for music has led her into a ‘very scary’ environment that resembles a ‘fish bowl,’ with ‘millions’ of people watching her, she said
Minaj added that welcoming her 3-year-old son changed her perception of herself.”
“I think pregnancy could’ve played a role because seeing my son did remind me of myself so much. My real self. And it made me think why didn’t I like this? So weird,” Minaj said. “But seeing old photos, being able to look at old photos again made me realize, ‘These old photos are beautiful.’”
