Nicki Minaj is featured on the November 2011 cover of W Magazine’s annual Art Issue, where artist Francesco Vezzolirefashioned the sassy singer into an 18th century courtesan. Come Inside and Check the Photos.
Vezzoli reveals that he was interested in working with the chart-topping Super Basssinger, because he wanted to “play up the image of a female hip-hop star.”
“In her performances, Minaj makes very explicit and challenging use of her beauty and her body, so I thought of comparing her to some of the most famous courtesans in history: theMarquise de Montespan, Comtesse du Barry,Madame de Pompadour, and Madame Rimsky-Korsakov,” explains Vezzoli of his inspiration.
