Nicki Minaj Side Steps Plastic Surgery Questions, Confirms Big Balls + Dishes Advice for Barbz

For a while, people have been speculating that 29-year-old rapper, Nicki Minaj, has had some plastic surgery work done to various parts of her body. The biggest of these rumors is about her butt, although her chest, nose, and teeth have also been questioned. Instead of denying or admitting to the rumors, Nicki has decided to ignore the issue, altogether. Reporters are aware of the fact that asking about her bottom is a no-no, but during her interview with Guardian Magazine, Nicki was asked if her teeth were natural. Nicki gave the reporter a “ferocious stare,” and retorted with,

“Are YOUR teeth natural?”

After giving up on trying to get Nicki to talk about plastic surgery, the two went on to talk about her competition with Lil’ Kim, her competition with male rappers, her father’s drug habit, and being a role model for young children. Peep the excerpts:

On competition with Lil Kim:

“Why in the black community have we got to hate on each other? Gaga didn’t on Madonna… we’re helping each other.”

On competition with male rappers:

“Yes, definitely. That’s why I say stuff like, ‘Dick in your face’, because I don’t even wanna refer to female genitalia any more… I just feel I have bigger balls than the boys.”

On her father’s drug and alcohol addiction:

“He could be [scary]. Especially when he was drinking. It’s weird, because when he was on crack, he was more peaceful, and when he would drink, he became loud and violent. Each drug has its own spirit. You could see it on the person and feel it in the room… I was very, very afraid that he would snap. I wasn’t afraid for myself but for my mother. He didn’t do anything to me or my brother that made us feel we had to fear him… We moved so many times when I was a kid. We were always running away from him. Whenever we got to a new house, he would find us.”

On being a role model for kids:

“I tell my Barbs, ‘Stay in school, respect your body, don’t go giving it away, don’t depend on a man.’ I tell them that all the time… I don’t want children cursing. I’m very strict on my nieces and my little brother. They have to listen to clean versions of music. Even my music… Sometimes it feels like I have to change, but I can’t. What rapper changes themselves for children? Why do people ask me to lose swear words? Do people ask Eminem to lose swear words? Do they ask Lil Wayne to lose swear words? Nobody stops them and says ‘Would you stop swearing… for the children, please?'”

We’re glad Nicki has opened up about her rap beefs, her father, and her influence on kids. But once and for all, do you think Nicki should address the plastic surgery rumors or is it irrelevant at this point?
