On an episode of "Run-Through with Vogue", the female rapper confessed her regrets stating:
“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,' " Minaj told podcast hosts Chioma Nnadi and Chloe Malle.
“And that’s what happened to me," she said. "I could not believe even some of the photos that I didn’t love.”
During the interview celebrating Minaj's cover story for Vogue's November issue, the co-hosts reminded the singer about the moment she joined Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour at the Carolina Herrera Show in September 2011.
Minaj immediately told the co-hosts that she prefers not to look at older photos of herself "'cause I didn’t like the way I looked."
"I didn’t like being skinny, having a flat butt, you know. Having boobs that didn’t sit high enough. It was a lot of things," she continued. "And when I look back at myself now, I literally was like, ‘Oh, I’m about to look like that girl again."
The "Starships" rapper explained how her decision to make changes became reliant on her growing public persona. Her passion for music has led her into a “very scary” environment that resembles a “fish bowl,” with “millions” of people watching her, she said.
