Looks like Nicki Minaj might not be trying to look like plastic after all. The rapper and American Idol judge has come out and denied accusations that she’s had any plastic surgery on her face.
In an interview with EXTRA TV, the 30-year-old opened up about the “crazy” rumors concerning cosmetic procedures to her nose and skin.
“I never had surgery on my face” she says. “When people see my make-up they think all types of crazy things that I’m doing to my skin… but it’s make-up.”
In an attempt to defend her claims, she also explained exactly how she gets her nose to appear slimmer than it did in previous photos.
‘They’ll see contour and think you’ve had surgery on your nose. It’s make-up, people! Look at RuPaul’s Drag Race and you’ll see how you can make your nose look any shape you want,” she said.
The timing of these claims might seem a little suspect, however, as the purpose of the interview was to promote her brand new Viva Glam shade of lip stick for MAC.
Minaj claims that this new shade of lipstick is meant to reflect a mature look, despite the shade being a bright lavender color.
“It’s a bit more grown and sexy and like… less is more.” said says.
Ironically, even with most of this interview being about cosmetic enhancements, she managed to avoid any discussion of plastic surgery to her very famous rear-end.
