Nicki Minaj: Cheeky Genius

She's done with the pink hair, and the bonkers outfits, and at least a few of the alter egos. Nicki Minaj is now in her world-conqueror phase—her new album, following two platinum-sellers, is immodestly titled The Pinkprint—and she's got a new message to go with it: This isn't all about butts anymore. Except for when it absolutely, positively is.

The singer graces the November issue of the magazine in an eye popping ensemble.and she talks about her transformation into a more natural woman saying:
“I always thought that by the time I put out a third album, I would want to come back to natural hair and natural makeup. I thought, I will shock the world again and just be more toned down. I thought that would be more shocking than to keep on doing exactly what they had already seen.”
