Nicki Minaj
releases cover “art” for her latest project. As a (newly) self proclaimed art aficionado, I will have to “study” this piece thoroughly before I give my opinion
The cover is, depending on the observer, either glamorous or raunchy — or perhaps a lot of both. Shot by fashion photographers Mert Alaş and Marcus Piggott, Minaj poses seductively in a scanty Egyptian-style getup against a striking orange background. But it’s admittedly hard to see much at first glance except the fact that she’s totally topless (except for an ornate necklace and crystal pasties).
Minaj has already released two singles from the album, “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li,” the latter of which has landed as high up as No. 10 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.
