Nicki Minaj also graces the cover of Complex magazine’s 10th anniversary issue, but unlike Justin Bieber‘s her face remained intact.
For the psychedelic spread shot by Christian Anwander stylist Rose Garcia dressed the Harajuku Barbie in striped and swirling creations from Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Obesity & Speed and Patricia Field.
After striking some fierce poses, Her Minajesty chat with Miss Info about her clothing line (it’s happening!), her love/hate relationship with the camera and being a perfectionist.
Here’s what Nicki had to say:
On her clothing line and fragrance:
“I├óΓé¼Γäóm working on my fragrance and my apparel line. They took stuff that I├óΓé¼Γäóve worn, focused on what I like, and then they started doing sketches. They├óΓé¼Γäóre pretty amazing. I was like ├óΓé¼┼ôOh my God, the kids are going to love this.├óΓé¼┬¥ It├óΓé¼Γäós not gonna get done overnight, but I know that it├óΓé¼Γäós something they├óΓé¼Γäóre going to love.”
On cameras:
“I hate cameras. I hate cameras and I hate camera phones. The camera├óΓé¼Γäós my worst enemy and my best friend. It├óΓé¼Γäós the way I convey my emotions to the world without saying a word, so I use it. People always say, ‘You come alive as soon as the camera├óΓé¼Γäós on!'”
On here over the top facial expressions and body animations:
“I never rehearse what I├óΓé¼Γäóm gonna do in a video. It├óΓé¼Γäós just that I have this love-hate relationship with the camera. I wanna please the camera so bad. The perfectionist in my brain is like, ‘You have to be on.’ I always want to feel like I gave everything my all and never, never, never exhibit laziness.”
