"It's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that"
We know the colourful Nicki Minaj as a lover of bright, unique outfits and numerous wigs. However, her love of fashion does not extend to the fashion shows themselves. She feels they're more about being seen than the actual fashion.
The singer told New York magazine: "I'm not impressed to be in that world. I'm in my own world. I think sometimes the fashion world isn't even about clothes anymore; it's about this 'in' crowd, and I'm not into that."
The flamboyantly dressed singer has recently spoken out about the pressure up-and-coming female rappers are under to look "sexy". She thinks this is "boring" opting instead to embrace her individuality, and her fascination with hair.
She revealed to New York magazine: "I've always been intrigued by color and by interesting hair. I was one of those weird little girls doing my own hair at the age of 9. I was, like, getting weird gels and new brushes and cornrow holders. I would tweak and perm at the age of 13.
"When I first went to get my hair colored, I was about 14 and I wanted blonde highlights. The beautician said, "No, you have to get your mother on the phone," and I was just crying and begging. I've always been experimenting. Cyndi Lauper's videos - that's what intrigued me."
We may not be seeing Nicki sitting pretty at the side of the fashion catwalk anytime soon, but one thing we can look forward to is some more crazy hair.
