She knows how to make a fashion statement and she can certainly strike a pose — so it’s only natural that Nicki Minaj is becoming a model.
The rapper has signed with the Wilhelmina Model agency, joining such musical models as Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas and Canada’s own Shawn Mendes.
"I love the synergy between my music and how it inspires my fashion," Minaj said in a statement.
"My message is always about celebrating your own style. I'm thrilled and honoured to have signed with Wilhelmina. They get me.”
Minaj, 34, has previously appeared as the face of fashion brands like Roberto Cavalli as well as MAC Cosmetics.
She was also a fixture at last month’s Paris Fashion Week.
