NICKI MINAJ COVERS V MAGAZINE'S WINTER ISSUE

Nicki Minaj owns as the cover girl for the Winter 14/15 issue of V magazine shot by famed photographer, Mario Testino. In the accompanying interview, Nicki talks about several things including the responsibility she feels to encourage other women to take control of their brand. “I always feel it’s important for me to show females that they can be in charge of their own situation,” she tells the mag. “I came into the game creating my own brand. I was doing things very early on that set me apart from people who just took orders and allowed their brand to be created for them. I love women who take control, who set standards, and who believe in themselves enough to lead the way in terms of their career. I’ve done that. When I win and when I lose.” Available November 13, you can pre-order the Winter issue of V Magazine starring Nicki Minaj here. Check out the stunning images below:
