2014 has been dubbed "the year of the booty," and no one played a bigger part in the backside-bearing bonanza than Nicki Minaj.
Sure, she didn’t break the Internet like Kim Kardashian, but Nicki ensured that all eyes were on her impressive ‘donk, while at the same time ensuring that some focus remained on her rap skills.
Recently, Nicki brought her boobs out for the cover of Rolling Stone, leaving the pervy Nostradamuses of the web to predict that breasts might reassert their dominance in 2015.
However, judging from Nicki’s latest collaboration with Terry Richardson, the butt will continue to reign supreme for a little while longer:
Sure, Nicki’s boobs are prominently displayed here, too, but it seems the pics are designed to draw your attention to the fact that she’s got so much back you can see it from the front.
By modern standards, this is a pretty subtle presentation of ass, but Nicki gets her point across nonetheless.
Who knows, maybe leaving something to the imagination will come back into fashion this year.
Compared to what we’ve seen in the past, this is like Marilyn Monroe’s upskirt moment in The Seven Year Itch, while Kim’s Paper magazine pics are like…a Kim Kardashian sex tape.
Sometimes you don’t have to look to far to find the perfect metaphor.
