G-Unit leader 50 Cent has been asked controversial questions in the past but this week he may have finally been stumped when presented with the oft-discussed query, "Is Nicki Minaj's butt real for fake?"
In a conversation with radio host Big Boy, 50 said at this point Minaj’s backside authenticity is meaningless.
“50 Cent, man, I’ve been asking this question,” Big Boy told 50. “Nicki Minaj, a**, real or fake?
“I don’t know,” 50 replied. “At this point, does it matter? Anybody else’s a** be like that, that’s work, that’s work. But I think at this point, there’s so much of that that goes on. Like when I did the guest photographer for Smooth Magazine. You see it. They come through there like it’s a regular auto body shop. There’s a lot of work out there and some of them you can’t really tell, they lift it — That’s a bad job if you can feel it [and it’s fake]. They went to the wrong people. They got that stuff from around the sink.” (“Big Boy’s Neighborhood”)
Last month, reality star/model Coco said she believes Minaj’s backside is fake.
“Well, I read that it wasn’t,” Coco said when asked if she thought Minaj’s backside was real. “Yeah, I thought she came out with it. I heard it from her. Yeah. OK, I’ve known — I don’t know. We’re not even going to go there anymore. Scandal? Right? [laughs] And you know, I say about a lot of stylists, that work with me, and a lot of hair and makeup, they work with me. They touch my body, they’re doing stuff all day long. So they’re doing that same thing to Nicki Minaj. And they’re saying it’s a little bit different.” (Perez Hilton)
A few weeks ago, Coco shared her opinion on butt implants.
“I’m not against plastic surgery but me going through surgery, I know what it feels like. And I’m kind of against the fact that you should get butt implants because one thing that you’re missing out here, is that when you have boobs, you’re not sitting on you boobs 24-7, when you get butt implants, you’re sitting on your butt for most of the day. You have to think about that. I’m so worried about how I move my boobs here and there. I have to wear a sports bra when I go to the gym. You can’t jiggle all the time, you might jiggle them out of place. Think about that as far as the butt thing goes because they may jiggle out of place and you might not be able to fix it. I hear some really horror stories about the booty thing and I know I might sound hypocritical to do your boobs and not your butt. But, it’s so unnatural. I mean you’re not touching the chest area all that much, you’re not walking all on the chest area all that much. You do a lot with the butt.” (VIBE)
Minaj recently discussed fans’ infatuations with her booty.
“I don’t mind the question, I don’t mind the fascination. It’s all good,” she said. “I’ve said this before. It doesn’t define me, so I try my best not to focus my energy on it. Like if you guys focus energy on it, I don’t mind it. if people are sitting in a barbershop talking about my butt, it’s conversational. That’s what people are going to do. As long as they’re talking about Nicki Minaj, it’s good.” (“Full Throttle”)
