Nicki Minaj For Black Men Magazine SSX

Nicki Minaj returns to the pages of Black Men’s Magazine for their special SSX tribute issue that will be released later this month.

 

Simple D-I-Y Halloween Costume Ideas

The sugar-filled spooky Holiday is quickly approaching. First question that comes to mind is, “What am I going to be for Halloween?”

Traditionally, popular Halloween costumes follow fads for the current year. Below are some simple Do-It-Yourself Costume ideas I had in mind that will turn heads or at least yield a good laugh or two!

Snooki

Hmm, I wonder how many snooks are going to be walking around on Halloween this year? She’s very popular this year and her look is so simple to recreate. The main feature is the inevitable POOF. If you don’t already, make sure you have long black hair and create an outrageous poof on top! I would wear a graphic/animal print dress with lots of cleavage on display. Try a spray tan for the occasion if you feel like spending the money. For the shoes, I would either wear high heels or some enormous house shoes (as you’ve seen on Snooki and Jenny on the show).

Antoine Dodson

Dodson was interviewed on July 28, 2010, by NBC affiliate WAFF-48 News after the alleged attempted rape of his sister by an intruder in her bedroom, in the projects”of Lincoln Park. The video of the interview caught attention due to the passionate and flamboyant style of his delivery, speaking directly to the camera, in which he directly addressed the people of his neighborhood as well as the would-be rapist, and his use of street vernacular. Dodson’s YouTube video was called “one of the most watched online videos ever,” being viewed over 16 million times as of that date. Make sure you check out his video so you can learn his vocabulary and demeanor to play the part on Halloween! All you need is a red bandana, a black tank, and some teased hair under the bandana! A Newsbroadcasting microphone will be a nice touch!

Rihanna

Riri has been the talk of the town when it comes to her fashion senses. With her recent decision to don a red wig as the one below, she’s easy to spot in crowd! Her outfit below is one that I would love to replicate myself for Halloween. You will need a red wig with loose waves, a striped blazer and shorts. Try to replicate the outfit below as best as you can. The hardest part would be finding some shorts as the one below. Anything with a pattern would be fine. Make sure you go overboard with the colorful accessories.

Rick Ross

Ricky Ross came out with a handful of hits this year. You can easily dress as Big Meech by wearing a jogging suit with the zipper down (with a white tank underneath), paired with a BIG CHAIN. Most importantly, you will need his popular beard to make it work! Sunglasses are a plus, and if you don’t already have this, I’d suggest stuffing your shirt to create a big belly =)

Ciara fr. ‘Ride’ video

Ciara is just effortlessly sexy. Her video ‘Ride’ which came out this year created plenty of controversy with her hip thrusting moves and booty popping scenes. EVERYONE has seen the video at least 10 times. The look below will easily be recognizable. All you need are a pair of short jean shorts, black over the knee boots, a black or white or both tank top, a black sleevless vest, gold earrings, leather gloves and most importantly an ATL cap! Make sure your hair is  long, but in a low ponytail as shown below.

Justin Bieber:

Justin Bieber started a young man popstar craze this year. Looking the part of MTV’s best new artist isn’t as hard as you think. Just make sure you find a wig or style your hair as Mr. Bieber has below (side swept across forehead). You can wear a cardigan as the picture shows below, but I would also add a chain and carry a microphone around. If you have the patience, replicate an MTV Music Award statue and hold that near your heart.

Nicki Minaj:

This will definitely be a popular costume this year, but with all the different looks that ‘Barbie’ comes out with, it’s hard to pinpoint which one will best decipher this rapstress on Halloween. I chose the look below because it is simple to put together and easy to identify. For Nicki’s 106 & Park visit look, find a green wig with a similar cut as the one below. For the outfit, wear a white mini dress with either orange or tan boots. Accessorize your ensemble with chunky gold jewelry.

2010 BET Hip Hop Awards [PHOTOS]

The stars aligned at last night’s BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta, Georgia.

Comedian Mike Epps was the host and the show was kicked off with a performance from ‘Diddy’ and Rick Ross performing a variety of hits, including “B.M.F.” and “MC Hammer.”

Nicki Minaj was a big winner, getting awards for Rookie of the Year, Made You Look Style Award and Favorite by Fans.

“I didn’t think I was going to win this award, but I probably have a million little Barbies on Twitter that probably voted for me and I love you guys very much for that,” said Minaj.

Jay-Z, Alicia Keys and Drake also took home awards. You can catch the show when it airs on BET October 12th at 8/7pm C.

Nicki Minaj’s Black and White Shoot for Complex

Nicki Minaj is the most popular female rapper these days. With a powerful presence, and infectious rap style and a unique look, her success has certain longetivity. She tends to shy away from interviews but she addresses the most asked questions from fans and skeptics in her recent cover story with Marc Ecko’s Complex Magazine. She even lets out a little secret about she and Drake!

On Drake Saying he wanted to Marry her in “Miss Me”?

He told me he said something about me on a verse, but I didn’t think it would be anything like that. He let me hear it for the first time when we did Jay’s show at Madison Square Garden, the day before Wayne had to go to jail—that night he let me hear it on the headphones. But you know what else he told me he wrote for me? The Alicia Keys song “I’m Ready.” I happen to love the song. I never told anyone that, I hope he won’t get mad that I said that.

On her sexuality.

When I rap, it’s just an extension of how I speak, and that’s how I talk. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. I’m also not going to explain something just because I said it in a rap. Take what you want from it. [In the press] I didn’t say [I don't like women]. I said I don’t have sex with women. I don’t have sex with men right now either. If [bisexual is] what they wanna call me, then fine.

Nicki Minaj: The Full Black Men Magazine Spread

The animated Nicki Minaj is riding dirty on the cover of Black Men Magazine, August 2010 issue. The green headed rapstress had a nineteen page spread including cover shot. She was snapped wearing a high-waist candy blue shorts with a black studded jacket. Her green wig was on deck for the photo shoot which matched her green fiery motorcycle. Of course, Nicki switched up her wigs in the photos, sporting a black bob-hair cut with a silver embroider body-suit.

The first lady of Young Money was also packing heat in her spread, posing with two hand guns. In the rappers layout, she addresses the hearsay in the media and where she gets her inspiration. Also, check out Ms. Minaj rocking her transparent black dress exposing almost everything for the camera!

Thanks to Nicki-Minaj.net for the pics.

Nicki Minaj is a Character!

The Barbie Princess, aka Nicki Minaj, is covering magazine after magazine. After revealing a sneak peek picture of Ms. Minaj for her spread in Black Men’s Magazine I found her actual photo for the cover, in addition to the editorial pics.

As an added bonus, I’ve included the Vibe scans — I know most of you have already peeped the pics of Nicki in Vibe, but the actual photo spread from the mag was dope, so it’s worth a gander.

Nicki definitely can transform herself in many different looks. Now, that the album has been announced and we know that Swizzy is gonna lace it with at least one track, there is a lot to look forward to.
