Read excerpts;
Nicki Minaj, who has more than 90 million followers on Instagram, has returned following a hiatus of nearly four years to drop her fourth album,
Queen. Within a few hours of the albumโs release,
Queen had reached number one in more than 85 countries, including the UAE, Palestine, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia. The success was met with high-profile acclaim, with
Naomi Campbell and
Kim Kardashian sharing their support ahead of the artistโs performance at the 2018
MTV Video Music Awards on August 20.
Minajโs return has been truly triumphant, with the star bagging the cover of
Vogue Arabiaโs second
September issue. Model
Bella Hadid was the star of the debut September 2017 cover, shot by Karl Lagerfeld.
Nicki Minaj makes her Vogue cover debut
โThe fashion industry has been successfully collaborating with rap artists because they appeal to young luxury consumers and global influence. In 2018, weโre not just obsessing over their lyrics, weโre taking their style notes, too,โ explains editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut of
Vogue Arabiaโs 17th cover. โFor us, Nicki Minaj embodies everything that makes the industry crossover a success. Sheโs the author and producer of most of her material, is a platinum-selling rapper, a successful businesswoman with clothing, fragrance, and beverage lines, and has appeared on
Timeโs 100 most influential people list. Put simply, sheโs the ultimate girl boss.โ
In this moment when the fashion industry discusses inclusivity, diversity, and equality, it was only fitting that the cover story was shot in New York, just a few days before the
Met Gala, by an all-female team. Renowned photographer
Emma Summerton was behind the lens, while the styling was done by Anna Katsanis and overseen by
Vogue Arabia fashion director Katie Trotter. The hair and makeup looks were created by Kim Kimble and Sheika Daley respectively.
Accompanying Minajโs cover story is an exclusive interview by Arnaut, in which the rapper talks quitting social media, healing heartbreak, and bouncing back stronger than ever to reclaim her crown.
โI think anybody who says they donโt care about horrible things being said about them or lies being spread about them are not being truthful,โ says Minaj. โIโm a human being and of course it bothers me when I read lies or horrendous things about myselfโฆ I took time to create something for my fans that I knew was going to be perfection.โ
Discussing her latest success and her struggle to the top, Minaj also reveals, โIn the restaurant where I was a waitress, I would go to someoneโs table to take the orders and before I got their bread, Iโd write raps on my order notepad about what they said or what they were wearingโฆ I always thought, Iโm going to get the hell out of this joint, stop waitressing, and become a big superstar.โ

Marak Brock Akil and her husband Salim Akil are letting viewers in on their love story that started over 20 years ago. While there are situations they've added to the show to make it more interesting, there are A LOT of things that happen between their characters, Nuri & Yasir, that happened in real life. Like that time Mara asked Salim to marry her! In fact, she asked him after only dating for 3 months.
On the show, we see Yasir chasing after Nuri, but eventually the tables turn.
Oh?
If you're wondering why Mara decided to pop the question...
