Nicki Minaj reveals Kanye West rejected fashion collaboration because Kim Kardashian ‘wouldn’t love that idea’… and admits to getting ʙuтт injections in bombshell interview

Nicki Minaj did not hold back during her latest interview as she touched on several H๏τ topics including Kanye West rejecting a potential fashion collaboration due to Kim Kardashian, getting ʙuтт injections, social media, and why she believes she deserves a Vogue cover.

The 39-year-old rapper – full name Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty – sat down for a nearly two-hour interview with media personality Joe Budden on his YouTube Channel released Wednesday.

The Starships hitmaker was an open book as she said that she had approached Kanye, 44, with the idea of working together on a fashion project but he turned it down out of respect for his wife Kim, 41.

She told 41-year-old Budden: ‘I told Kanye about [my impact on Fendi’s sales]. I was like, “Hey look, I’m about to do something and I just wanted to make sure I spoke to you first,” because I have so much respect for him.

‘And he was like, “Well, if I did something with you, I think my wife probably wouldn’t love that idea because I should be giving that to my wife instead. If I was doing a female version of the Yeezys or whatever, it should probably go to my wife.”‘

Nicki did say that she understood where Kanye was coming from but had trouble understanding why he was so quick in turning her down when taking into consideration the obstacles that he faced as a Black designer with a background in hip-hop.

She explained: ‘Kanye was very vocal about the fashion industry not letting him in at one time.

‘So if a Black female rapper who you know has just shown her self to be sellable…  then when I come to you as a Black man that I look up to, I’m doing that because you inspired me, because you said if the fashion industry didn’t want to let us in, even though we’re so influential.’
