Nikki Minaj has expressed regret over her plastic surgery saying that she is remorseful about it after having a child.
In an interview with on the Run-Through with Vogue podcast she spoke about how giving birth helped her appreciate her natural body so much more.
“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. And that’s what happened to me. I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn’t love,” said the rapper.
Minaj said that at the time she hated being skinny and having a flat butt, she said she felt her boobs didn’t sit high enough too. But now, having had a child she is reminded of her natural beauty.
“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. But seeing old photos, being able to look at old photos again made me realise, ‘These old photos are beautiful’.”
Minaj, 40, who will appear on the cover of Vogue in December also spoke about her addiction to Percocet which was given to her for her severe cramps. She was prescribed the opioid several years ago and became addicted to it. She said that no one had told her that it was a narcotic and that it was addictive and she began taking the drug even when she wasn’t in pain. But luckily eventually she was able to ground herself and make the right decision.
