Nicki Minaj insists she hasn’t had any plastic surgery at all — on her face

Nicki Minaj

Fair warning: This story is hilarious, and please reference the illustration above of Nicki Minaj in 2010 as opposed to last weekend, where Nicki was in attendance at Elton John’s Oscar party. Naturally, the press decided to talk to her, and she talked back in spades. I’m not sure exactly what the line of questioning was, but in response, Nicki claimed that she has never had plastic surgery … on her face. This semi-duplicitous pattern of interview discussion follows the example of Jersey Shore’s Jenni “J-Woww” Farley, who similarly insisted that she’s endured “no plastic surgery, on my face.” And yes, it’s ridiculous to imagine that Nicki believes that we’re dumb enough to believe her. Nicki’s response is almost as silly as Nicole Kidman claiming that Botox is not for her, and she’s completely natural these days. Bitches, please:

American Idol judge Nicki Minaj always looks super glam on the show — whether she is rocking pink hair or a crazy hat, she’s always making a statement. And now, she’s responding to haters who say she has had plastic surgery.

Did Nicki Minaj Get Plastic Surgery On Her Face?

In an interview with Extra, Nicki told correspondent Renee Bargh: “I’ve never had surgery on my face. They’ll see contour and they’ll think you had surgery on your nose, no no no, look at RuPaul’s drag race and you’ll see how you can make your nose look any shape you want.”

“When people see my makeup they think all types of crazy things that I’m doing to my skin, but it’s makeup.”

[From Hollywood Life]

Okay, there is a slight chance that Nicki is telling the truth about her face. She’s a 30-year-old woman, so there’s a chance that she’s indulged in Botox and other such injectables, but those don’t technically count as surgery. But (and this is a big butt), Nicki has definitely had some work done on her body. She’s probably had booty implants, and maybe some liposuction on her midsection. Also, Nicki’s boobs have either gotten much bigger in the past few years, or she’s found the most effective push-up bra in the entire universe.

Incidentally, here’s some photos of Nicki while she shot her “Starship” videos last March. She’s totally natural, right?

    This is a total technicality. Her face (and only that) might be natural, she does wear stage makeup and wigs all the time so she might not have had surgery to achieve a different “fake” look. But her body has def been changed by a surgeon.

  2. While I tend to think she’s lying I also have to say that I’ve seen make up do CRAYZAY things. Contacts and make up change eyes completely and some of those living doll chicks on YouTube will blow your mind with before and after make up pictures.

    • BB says:

      The first rule of having a fake butt is not to admit to it,ever! Nicki Minaj is not the only person to have fat injected into her butt, there tons of others. Nicki will never admit to it, even though there are tons of pictures of her before she had her butt done.

  3. lucy2 says:

    Unless her parents were Muppets, I don’t believe her.

  4. embertine says:

    Um no, those are implants. They don’t move when she leans back. But i believe her face doesn’t look significantly different, except that she wears more pancakey, paler makeup these days.

  5. Cherry says:

    ‘It’s ridiculous to imagine that Nicki believes that we’re dumb enough to believe her’? I must be really dumb, then. Frankly, I don’t see much difference between her 2010 and 2013 faces. Is that just me? She’s wearing a ridiculous amount of make-up, so it’s hard to tell.
    Sure, she clearly has breast implants and probably had something done to her booty as well, but that’s not the issue here.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      She looks the same to me too.
      Her body has very obviously been altered but the facial structure seems the same to me.

  6. Ms Kay says:

    Has she lightened her skin?

    On them bikini pics, she looks awful, like a strange whale stranded on the beach.

  7. Oops says:

    I don’t know I always think she looks like a plastic doll perhaps because of all her make up..

  8. lady mary. says:

    Apparently she is the first human to be naturally born as a Blow up doll(srry abt the nasty one liner)

  9. aud says:

    I believe her. Her face looks the same to me

    But she’s obv had other stuff done. She’s not natural, but her face technically is (natural then slathered in ridiculous amounts of make up so she appears more dramatic etc)

    But yeah, those boobs aren’t moving an inch. Her body is as fake as they get

  10. LadyMTL says:

    I tend to believe her when she says she’s left her face alone. There’s not much of a difference (structurally speaking); things like wigs and makeup can really change someone’s looks.

    As for her body, she looks like she’s had breast implants but ass-wise…*shrug* I honestly haven’t been paying that much attention, hahaha.

  11. Skipper says:

    That illusion dress got me.

  12. crab says:

    That third picture of her sprawled out on the sand, she reminds me of a fat Barbie doll that someone threw in the corner with twisted arms and legs!

    Hmm…looking at her old photos I have some hard time believing it..and let’s face it, with all the plasticity involved in this woman’s carrier it’s difficult to expect that anything was left untouched.

    • Cherry says:

      But she’s hardly wearing make-up on that photo. really, it’s hard to tell if she’s had anything done to her face.

      • minime says:

        Yes, I also thought that…but well, it’s just hard for me to believe that anything is real around this girl, but it’s true that her face might be the only original piece in the package…maybe 😉

  14. Vivian says:

    I really hate this pale beige or pink corpse lip trend; eeeew her face may be surgery free but def not her body.

  15. dcypher1 says:

    Shes as natural as kim kardashian.

  16. Elceibeno says:

    Oh come on she did have a little something done to her face,NOT MUCH, but something. She looks good so.

  17. BLOGAHOLIC says:

    Lies lies lies, that nose has seen a few sculptors. And that skin… Bleach much..

  18. MonicaQ says:

    http://www.nicki-minaj-quotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Nicki-Minaj-before-surgery-and-after.jpg if this link doesn’t get removed.

    She’s had maybe a few things done to her face (injections, definitely lightened her skin a little (lotta) bit) but nothing major like her junk in the trunk.

    • Cherry says:

      I still don’t see much difference, other than the fact that she’s obviously a lot younger on the first pic. But her nose and lips are the same. And that skin lightening may be the result of too-heavy make-up, too.

    • Migdalia says:

      Thanks for the link I was about to note that Bedhead didn’t go far back in time enough for a photo comparison. The pic on the left is still not the greatest but she was way prettier before she went hip hop lady gaga.

    • Laura says:

      I thought it was quite common knowledge her butt isn’t real?
      These photos prove it anyway:
      http://celebrities.ninemsn.com.au/img/blog/blog_200912nicki.jpg

      It just doesn’t seem to make sense to me (if she’s natural) that she’s progressively lost weight between 2010 and now but her booty remains and her boobs seem to get bigger.

      • Cherry says:

        Again: nobody’s disputing that. The topic of discussion is whether she had anything done to her FACE.

  19. Layla says:

    Wait! Isnt She a drag??

  20. Verbear says:

    Nicki HAS had butt implants, she’s admitted it before. If you search before and after pictures it’s completely obvious as well.

  21. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I get that it’s all for the sake of entertainment but honestly, seeing all this falseness-fake hair, fake eyes, fake face, fake body parts…ugh. It just gives me such an appreciation for NATURAL beauty. Even the imperfections that come with a natural look seem lovely to me in comparison to this mess.

  22. KellyinSeattle says:

    I wish she’d go back to Red Lobster, where she used to work.
    She’s just a bona fide clown.

  23. Happy21 says:

    She’s as fake as a $3 bill…not just her face but her entire being. She grosses me out.

  24. Gabriella says:

    I dislike this human being (can we call it that?) so much. Her face, her butt (natural or not), her music, her personality, her costumes… Everything. Go away, please.

  25. anonymous fan says:

    I am starting to think that for black celebrity women bleaching their skin is as necessary as a nose job,but then why lie about it if it is no big deal?Kerry WashingtonBeyonce,Lil Kim, and now Nikki Minaj?I think it looks stupid and they weren’t even that dark to begin with.I find it insulting because it seems like they’re saying that brown isn’t beautiful,only high yella is.
    I don’t like Halle Berry but she is atleast the same color she was 5 years ago.

  26. kari says:

    I have two words for Nicki, “Lil Kim”. Shudder.

  27. salamanca says:

    Yeah, sure, no surgery on her face. Then why she starts to look like a white woman?
