Nicki Minaj unveils $155,000 MAGA-inspired makeover — see the transformation

Nicki Minaj has long been celebrated for her music, bold fashion, and striking appearance. Recently, the rapper has gained the spotlight for embracing a “MAGA makeover” style, leaving Donald Trump publicly admiring her “beautiful skin.”

Nicki’s Honesty About Cosmetic Procedures

Nicki has openly talked about her cosmetic procedures: a breast reduction and "a-- shots," which she stated that she received from an unqualified person early in her career. She explained the choice as "insane" and credited it to the demands of hip-hop culture’s beauty expectations at the time. Despite her openness, experts suggest Nicki may have undergone extra procedures beyond what she has publicly acknowledged.


Nicki has earlier talked about contouring methods that were accountable for her nose shape. Telling Extra in 2013, she stated, "They'll see contour, and they'll think you had surgery on your nose. No, no, no." She referenced RuPaul's Drag Race as an example of how makeup can "make your nose look any shape you want."

Expert Insights on Her Cosmetic Work

Speaking exclusively to Mirror US, Dr. David Shokrian, a board-certified surgeon and owner of Millennial Plastic Surgery in NYC and Miami, briefed what procedures he believes Nicki has received. Claiming she could have spent almost $155,000 improving her appearance, Dr. Shokrian indicated that the Super Freaky Girl rapper has likely had multiple Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs).

"She's reportedly had several Brazilian butt lifts (BBLs), which is when fat is taken from one area of the body and added to the butt," Dr. Shokrian described. "That procedure usually costs around $15,000–$20,000 each time."

In addition, the surgeon suspects that she may have had a tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, which involves removing excess skin and tightens the stomach region. This procedure can estimate around "between $15,000–$25,000."

Dr. Shokrian also cited that Nicki has talked about traveling overseas to get "butt shots," telling Mirror US, "In medical terms, this is likely bio-polymer removal, a procedure to remove injected substances from the buttocks. That surgery is much more complex and can cost around $70,000–$80,000."

Despite the rumors, Nicki has dismissed some procedures, like a nose job, which fans long assumed she had.

MAGA Makeover

Nicki has also changed her appearance to reflect her political-aligned aesthetic. She currently has blonde hair, which resembles the style favored by several MAGA women, and wears more conservative attires. She has even been spotted having red, a color connected with the Republican Party and MAGA mainly.

At the WLF event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, which supported World Liberty Financial (a crypto business in which the Trump family allegedly has a 38 percent stake), Nicki featured a fresh look. She replaced her ultra straight black hair for a combination of warm blonde and golden tones, with a white tank top and a metallic jacket, blue baggy pants, substituting her earlier furry white coat.

Public Reaction

Her transformation has ignited mixed reactions online:

• “She looks like a clown,” one critic stated.
  
• “Nicki Minaj looks like one of the barnished Salem witches,” added another.
  
• “Out here looking like Erica Kirk now,” a third remarked.
  
• “Why is she giving her Republican sister Tate McRae?” another commented.
  
• “The MAGA face has taken over,” said a fifth critic.
  
  

Fans, however, defended her style and relevance:

• “I love this hair, OMG,” one fan cited.
  
• “She really does get finer over time,” another said.
  
• “She is moving toward politics now,” a third commented.
