Songwriter - singer Nicki Minaj has expressed remorse over certain choices she made regarding plastic surgery.
“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’," she said.
In the latest episode of The Run-Through with Vogue podcast, the 40-year-old rapper openly shared her regrets, as reported by People magazine on Thursday.
Nicki told podcast hosts Chioma Nnadi and Chloe Malle, “That’s what happened to me. I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn’t love.”
In the interview commemorating Nicki's cover story for the November issue of Vogue, the co-hosts revisited the moment when the singer accompanied Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour at the Carolina Herrera Show in September 2011.
As per People, Nicki immediately told the co-hosts that she prefers not to look at older photos of herself "cause 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.
The singer said: "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," Nicki added.
"And now I love the way that person looks physically.”
The rapper behind 'Starships' elaborated on how her choices for alterations became intertwined with the evolution of her public image. The demands of her music career thrust her into what she described as a "very scary" environment, akin to a "fish bowl," where she is constantly observed by "millions" of people.
