Nicki previously admitted to undergoing a breast reduction in June 2023, after posting on Instagram 'New boobs who dis'?
"I just realised just this moment that actually there was something good that came out of this," Nicki said after being shown a picture of her from the 2022 Met Gala, where she wore a black Burberry look.
"It’s what really cemented the fact for me that I had to get my breast reduction," continued Nicki, who released her long-awaited album 'Pink Friday 2' earlier this month.
Nicki also noted that whilst she "loved" the look during her fitting, she predicted that "these boobs are gonna be spilling out."
The mother-of-one also said: "And by the time we were ready to go, I looked in the mirror, I said, "Guys, my boobs are still spilling out."
Even during red carpet interviews at the 2022 Met, Nicki mentioned her bust: "Enjoy these ti****s, ’cause y’all ain’t gonna see that ever again," she jokingly said.
In her November 2023 cover interview with Vogue, she spoke about her cosmetic surgery, and said: "I used to want a bigger butt, and now I look back and realize how silly that was. So — love your curves, and love your non-curves. There’s nothing wrong with any of it."
