Nicki Minaj Sizzles In Sexy 'GQ' Photo Shoot: YMCMB Rapper Talks 'Anaconda' And Why She Decided To Go Natural

Nicki Minaj shows off lots of cleavage in a super-sexy photo shoot for GQ. The YMCMB rapper took to Instagram to share a photo from her steamy GQ spread. In the photo, Minaj wears a white, barely-there top with a red pencil skirt. In an interview with GQ, Minaj shares why she chose to do songs like "Monster" and "Bang Bang," her thoughts on "Anaconda" and why she decided to go natural.

When Nicki's featured on a song, she's known to make it a completely different song, changing it for the better. Her featured verse on Kanye West's "Monster" is the best of several, including ones by Jay-Z and Rick Ross. She did that particular song because she was asked and because "Kanye's a genius." She did "Bang Bang" because she "knew it would be big."

As for her thoughts on her super-sexy "Anaconda" music video?

"I don't know what there is to really talk about," she said. "I'm being serious. I just see the video as being a normal video."

Nicki then explains why she decided to go natural after years of extravagant style.

"I always thought that by the time I put out a third album, I would want to come back to natural hair and natural makeup," she told GQ. "I thought I will shock the world again and just be more toned down. I thought that would be more shocking than to keep on doing exactly what they had already seen."

She no longer feels as if she needs to hide behind outrageousness. Nicki wants to let her success speak for itself. Minaj is rap's first and only female mogul, having landed a spot on Forbes's Cash Kings list, making her the only female paid well enough to be honored. She's the top-charting woman in rap, a top-charting rapper in general and a crossover phenomenon who can go back and forth between hip-hop and pop.

A few days earlier, she'd been in Los Angeles finishing her third album, The Pinkprint, due out Nov. 24.
