Congratulations Nicki Minaj! You got famous white folks singing your lyrics, and now you’re landing magazine covers! We’re used to Nicki looking like an over-developed 5-year-old let loose in her tranny uncle’s makeup and wardrobe closet, but she actually looks kinda nice on her first solo cover. Pop the hood for a look-see!

WHAT?!?!?! No boobies spilling all over the screen? No cakes angled just right???? Could this be the maturation of a superstar???

We gotta applaud The Fader for introducing Ms. Minaj to a little thing called modesty.

We’re not gonna declare her completely cured though, cuz there’s always plenty of room for her to mess it all up in the accompanying photo spread.
