Nicki Minaj recently faced backlash after she spoke out about her views on body positivity in an interview with Vogue Magazine. The Barbie World rapper, who welcomed her son with husband Kenneth Patty last year, reflected on her time in the spotlight and went into detail about how she has changed her views on body image.
The 40-year-old stated that she does not agree with ‘body positivity’ if it relates to ‘unhealthy bodies’. She also discussed her own journey with body image and her decision to go under the knife for a breast reduction.
‘I used to want a bigger butt, and now I look back and realize how silly that was,’ she said. ‘So – love your curves, and love your non-curves. There’s nothing wrong with any of it.’
The social movement around body positivity is encouraging people to accept their bodies regardless of gender, size, shape or skin tone. It has become increasingly popular over the years, as many around the world have become empowered to celebrate their own skin.
However, Nicki’s comments divided fans on social media, with many accusing her of contradicting herself. She was called out for using the term ‘unhealthy bodies’ and some suggested she was referring to weight.
But many jumped to defend Nicki, suggesting that her discussion of ‘unhealthy bodies’ was referring to the use of plastic surgery and not weight. One fan insisted that ‘you don’t have to like her to read the article and see that she’s referring to her getting plastic surgery’.
Overall, Nicki’s comments on body positivity sparked a range of reactions from fans across social media. While it is clear that her original comments were misconstrued, it has still sparked a necessary conversation about body acceptance.
