Controversial Rapper Covers

The Nicki Minaj Rolling Stone Cover is Suggestively Styles

The latest Nicki Minaj Rolling Stone cover is understated yet suggestive. The rapper fronts the January 15th, 2015 issue of the famed entertainment magazine and dons a revealing and water-drenched tank top on the cover.

On the cover, Nicki shows off a more subtle side, one she has been channeling in recent months. Replacing her once over-the-top attire and technicolored wigs, Nicki is a toned-down version of her former self and wears her hair in loose waves while wearing little to no makeup.

Lensed by the always controversial Terry Richardson, the latest Nicki Minaj Rolling Stone cover is both suggestive and raw. In the issue, the rapper and face of Roberto Cavalli opens up about her youth and shares the struggles she experienced before making it big.
