Nicki Minaj and her favorite pale pink lipstick are rocking the cover of WONDERLAND magazine's February/March 2012 issue. The cotton candy haired rapper is going on her usual tangents about being Queen of England in her former life, why Barbie is the perfect idol, and cooking spaghetti in her down time.

With news breaking this morning that her "Stupid Hoe" video has been unsurprisingly banned from BET for its explicitness (BET has a conscious now y'all), Nicki's bringing her provocativeness to print.
Nicki's gone all Pink Lady for her upcoming WONDERLAND magazine cover and spread. Rocking a satin pink tank and jacket with sportscars as decoration, as well as a revealing nude blouse for another shot, the rapper is giving folks a bit more insight to her life.
On the difference between her stage persona and her real life: “Oh they’re definitely two completely different people. Obviously what I would wear at home is not what I would wear up on stage and I think, when I’m at home it’s a way more introspective character and I think the person people see on stage is anything but. I watch a lot of Judge Judy. And I watch a lot of Forensic Files. And I cook – I cook spaghetti really, really good; I cook macaroni and cheese really, really good; I cook chicken really, really good.”
On her Barbie obsession: “I feel like Barbie is great because it doesn’t only focus on beauty – you have Barbies that work, they have tons of different jobs now. And they come in different shades, which I love, and different hairstyles. So I think that they’ve gotten to the point where they’re making girls feel like it’s OK not to look like or be like the traditional Barbie. Now in terms of a body image, even male action figure dolls are cut up more than the average man – it’s just how people make dolls!”
On her love of London: “I was born in London in my past life, no one can tell me different. I probably was like a queen in London, I was probably the people’s queen that fought for lives … and I probably started off as a maid and then was just, like, really revolutionary and moved all my [Barbies] into the big queen mansion.”
The REVOLT / REVOLT / RENEW thematic issue is on shelves now.
