The ‘Queen of Hip-Hop/Rap’ Nicki Minaj steps in front of ELLE photographers as she takes her spot as the April 2013 covergirl. The ever photogenic Minaj steps out of her comfort zone in this issue, as she is photographed without her signature pink lips, theatrical hair and costumes. ‘Simple yet ellegant’ is the look ELLE had in mind with Ms. Minaj for this issue with a nude face, and her recently barb-acclaimed Oscar James designed wig. April Issue of ELLE Magazine is on sale NOW in retail stores nation wide so be sure to cop it while the cost low: ($3.99-$4.99 US)

Nicki minaj covers paper magazine with her amazing green the 29 year old rapper gave paper magazine an interview hear what she had to say.
SD: This year, fame came at you like a freight train. How are you handling your world domination? Are you sleeping at night?

NM: Ugh! I have been working sooo much. Success came and now that somany eyes are on me, I feel I have to deliver. And it’s a business. No joke. I guess I am stressing more than I
should be, and I think I am becoming more guarded.

SD: I saw you sitting front row next to Anna Wintour at Fashion Week. Genius! Such a fabulous couple. What was going through your thoughts?

NM: Yes! I was screaming out loud inside my head. Me sitting next to the Queen of Vogue! It was such a strange experience. I felt like I was dreaming. And I thought she would be snobby
or something. But she was so incredibly sweet to me.
