Vogue just announced Nicki Minaj signed a big modeling contract. I assume she’ll only be photographed from the waist up.
As a singer, songwriter, actress, and hip-hop queen, Nicki Minaj has spent her career juggling a multitude of roles, and her latest move brings her into yet another creative sphere—modeling. Signing to Wilhelmina’s celebrity division , Minaj becomes the latest star to add professional posing to her repertoire.
How did Nicki Minaj score a modeling contract? The same way Kendall Jenner did.
With 77 million followers on Instagram , household name status, and a larger-than-life persona, Minaj has plenty to offer the fashion world.
So ladies, up your Instagram game and you too could become a model. Not sure how that would translate into a “rap” career and a video with Gucci Mane. Stay positive. The world is oyster if you have a lot of Instagram followers.
