Nicki Minaj is going all on when it comes to making us talk while on the promotional trail for her upcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Her latest spread with Vogue Magazine finds the pop starlet painted in blue with her favorite pink wig.

Born in Trinidad, Minaj came to the States when she was five, grew up in Queens, and attended the prestigious LaGuardia high school for the performing arts (it was the model for the school in Fame). Her fashion education also began there. “I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans, but then I met a person who dressed like a tiny lady—pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup. I thought she was larger than life. She once did my makeup—I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off; I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.” 

The spread comes after an off the wall performance at the Grammy’s that still has the water coolers heated up with talk of Illuminati and conspiracy theories to the direction she’s going.

To me she’s trying to hard. But hey, get your money.  What do you think?
