Rap queen, Nicki Minaj is the cover star of the autumn/winter 2017 issue of DAZED magazine and she gets not one but three different covers. The issues focuses on the 10 year old reign for the top American female rapper.
The three covers each feature some trademark aspect of Nicki’s personality, from the oddball to the grandiose, with one featuring “high art”-leaning, grainy greyscale candid shot, one placing a normal colored cutout of Nicki’s face on a photonegative shoulders-up portrait, and the last one placing Nicki astride a rearing stallion, looking for all the world like a conquering emperor, with those 40-inch bundles flying behind her.
In the feature, she addresses her accomplishments, as well as the driving factor that motivated them. Saying “I came into this industry and demanded more. I wanted more for female rappers. I wanted more for black women. I wanted to make more than what men were making. And I did it. I did it.”
