Why Nicki Minaj Chose To Get A Breast Reduction

Nicki Minaj has shared insight into her newfound beauty philosophy, and revealed why she chose to undergo a breast reduction. 

"Recently I had to get a breast reduction, and actually I love it. I used to want a bigger butt, and now I look back and realize how silly that was."

"Love your curves, and love your non-curves. There's nothing wrong with any of it."

She noted her road to self-love has been a journey, but she's embracing the skin she's in.

"Today I can say that I'm at peace with who I am and how I look. I'm not in favor of body positivity if it means unhealthy bodies. That's bull. It's not believable, so let's stop pretending."

She revealed her 3-year-old son has made her want to live a healthier lifestyle.

"I have to say this as a Black woman, though. I've made certain choices for my son, to not give him sweets and candy and juices, because of illnesses like diabetes that run in our community."

And while she's made positive changes to her lifestyle, she also shared the challenges of being a mother.

"I'm very attached to my son. I remember being in the U.K. and just bawling. And when I try to FaceTime him, I get more sad."

"I think moms feel like they have to be perfect. I hate that I have more anxiety now because you're like, 'What if the one time I leave my child, I get that phone call?'"

"I do want to have more. Not at this moment, but I don't want to deprive my son of siblings. Having siblings, it causes you to have problem management skills early on in life. I would feel guilty if I didn't give Papa Bear another sibling or two."
