Nicki Minaj graces the cover of Fader after declining XXL Magazine 2010 Freshmen Class and it looks like she made the right choice. Both Nicki and Drake declined XXL Magazine because they both felt like last years 2009 Freshmen Class would of been the time for them to be apart of the cover compared to 2010. And I agree because with Nicki being featured on records with Robin Thicke “Shakin it For Daddy”, Yo Gotti “5 Star Chick”, Mariah Carey “Up Out My Face” , Usher “Lil Freak” and Ludacris latest single “My Chick Bad” just to name a few she’s far from a freshmen at this point. Not to mention dropping a Young Money group album with hit singles such as “Bedrock” and the streets favorite “Roger That“. So all thats really left for Nicki is a few hot singles followed up by a solid album and sky’s the limit for the only female artist in Hip Hop at the moment making noise. Here are a few more photos from Nicki Minaj NYC Shoot for Fader Magazine which is on stands now.
